Plaidurday Saints

Holy (Rock and) Rollers: BJ and O getting righteous in their Phinneywood plaid.

How do you recognize kindred spirits? For me, they are often found through a mutual love of plaid. (See above.) That would be BeeJay and Omaima, the power couple that fuels the vintage lifestyle experience known as Beats + Bohos. And those two sure love their plaid. When I told them about Plaidurday (coming up October 4th) and how I've been an enthusiastic participant in this world-wide event since its inception, they jumped on the #plaidurday bandwagon, and readily readied to celebrate it too.
