Over the last week, I have been going through some very #irish and #scottish hashtags in the attempt to find accounts which would inspire us to go and visit some of the most beautiful lands in the world. Here are the awe inspiring Global accounts I have chosen to feature & follow... enjoy!

"A celebration of modern luxury and timeless style." Ralph Lauren Home has a great selection of plaids, camp gear, and British luxury in both formal and informal representation.
MY FAVORITE THINGS
Plaids are some of my favorite things. They have become popular in both furniture trends and in clothing. Plaids are universal. If you have a school uniform, it probably has some aspect of plaid. If you go camping, your camping gear probably is plaid. If you want a nice set of flannel sheets - guess what plaid again. Tomorrow I will be sharing with you video on how plaid is made. I hope you stick around! Not only is plaid/tartan beautiful, it's really quite something to make!
