I see four issues, I'll identify them with comments added to the code:

html { border-top: 65px solid #4D7094; }
  border-top: 20px solid #8A85A5; /* this is the original line, it should be removed */
}                                 /* this extra brace should be removed

/***********************************************
Body styling 
***********************************************/
body  { ...                       /* this ellipsis is not part of CSS syntax */
  max-width: 600px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 20px 20px;
  font-size .75em;                /* the property and value should be separated by a colon */
