I made a trip to Downtown LA yestarday afternoon and here is what I brought home. I appologize for the picture quality, I did not have time to play with my camera and definitely no time to scan them in (future plans). It was very quiet in the Fashion District yesterday, maybe because it was a bit chilly, or maybe Thursday afternoon is not a big shopping day. I kept seeing the same people from store to store (of course there were many people at Michael Levine store, but I don't really go there - they seem to have your typical fabric everybody else has, I like to look and dig around other stores). Anyway - I found some pinks and reds and also some small print in yellows (it turns out these are japanese fabrics):

And then some small pattern in blue and green and then... I fell in love with plaid. I almost bought more, but I ran out of cash...

After I bought the first plaid (the green one) I started seeing plaid everywhere, in any imaginable color and combination of colors. I always liked plaid, but they just seemed so crisp and fresh I had to had some. And then, I find and add for Madewell in my mailbox and these is (some of) what they have:
