Okay, so Gap just released this plaid collab with Pendleton and I might be a little bit obsessed and launching into full-on Fall Lust Mode. This poncho? I die. Somebody hand me a warm, bourbon-spiked-something -- preferably in a cool mug. (Also: this headband for the Babygirl in my life? I think yes.)I know!
