. . . the sonia rykiel fall collection's perfect mix of tweed and satin, wraps and stoles, checks and tartan, along with elegantly lovely side chignons and red lipstick makes one long for the blustery green hills of the highlands and the deep, dark waters of inverness -- perhaps it's time for another beautiful trip to scotland . . .
