My Fall Must Have Fashion Picks: Mad About Plaid

I am crazy about everything "fall"-- the brightly hued leaves, the fun drinks (salted caramel hot chocolate... yes please!), even the nip in the air is a lovely part of autumn. But more than anything... I'm mad for plaid!

"I'm a hopeless romantic. I buy things because I fall in love with them. I never buy anything just because it's valuable. My husband used to say I look at a piece of fabric and listen to the threads. It tells me a story. It sings me a song. I have to get a physical reaction when I buy something. A coup de foudre – a bolt of lightning. It's fun to get knocked out that way!"
