watch out...
just in time for the holidays, chicken soup and moth balls are dictating the design world.
i fully expect that red volvo station wagons, with labs in the back and wreaths on the {car} grill for christmas, are soon to follow.

I hope you still like me after this comment, but I have a piece of plaid clothing in my closet. Ah I just realized that it's 2.
One is a dress from Urban and the other is a RL shirt. Both remind me of the Fall. Snuggling up to a fire and the holiday season that is approaching.
Maybe we need some beachy So-Cal plaid to get you into it.

oh...I'm sure, give in, after a few months of seeing this, I'm going to be sneaking in a bit of plaid in someplace. I seem to buckle on these things. I'm impressionable in my old age.
BUT not in my home. never does my little beach house need a chair wrapped in a flannel lanz nightgown
i've fallen prey. I wore this today:

perfect for florida. I actually bought both colors. I went out this evening and all 3 errands I ran I got a compliment on my shirt, which reassures me that I'm not alone in my love for the tartan! :) I think the chair is taking it to the next level, I'm not there yet!

thanks for the b-day wishes!
although, i'm strangely attracted to that chair! lol - that's my bunny mcdougal side talking, sorry!
Damn the Williams Sonoma Home store and its perfect merchandising that would make me think that chair would actually fit into my home (that will probably be my headline).
Note: It's comfy as hell but is about to be recovered any day now. :-)
erika, somehow, i know you've made the plaid not look chicken soup ish
i think the chair looks really comfy. i just think it looks seasonal and 'men's grill', and...well...really itchy.
i'm clearly out numbered.
really? everyone loves this?
still not surprised are you?!
Oh yeah -- and I just remembered it is you that sent me the LA boys outfit when I had Charlie. warms my heart...
And I have that RL purse in black watch that I think I'll go pull out of the back of the closet right now.
Tartan makes me swoon. Whether it's dressing a piece of furniture or people.
I use tartan seasonally - When late October insinuates itself, out come the tartan wool throw pillows, tartan wool blankets to toss over chair backs and a tartan slipcover or 2 for the club chairs.
It really does work, in ice-pelted, blizzardy Wisconsin - with a roaring stone fireplace, dark wood furniture, white crown molding, white baseboards and dark wood floors.
However, by early March I am ready to lighten things back up again, but we always have some incarnation of tartan in our house (and closets) regardless of the season.
Check out Jeffrey Banks book "Tartan: Romancing The Plaid".
I do love a black watch on a toeheaded baby. nothing wrong with that!
I've just toted that jumper all over the world.
