Sara Fitz is getting cozy this fall with her latest collection in partnership with L.L.Bean. Known for her fresh, coastal style, this new release cheerfully pays homage to L.L.Bean classics in a made-for-snuggling flannel. We had the opportunity to talk with Fitz about what fall means to her and how it came to life in her newest collection.

Tell us about the flannel sheet collection artwork and what your favorite set is.

This year's flannel collections are all about the coziness that comes with the cooler months here in New England. The designs focus on the timeless style of L.L.Bean, highlighting some of the iconic pieces we all know and love: boots, totes, beautiful heirloom sweaters.

As far as choosing a favorite - oh gosh, I appreciate the classic palette and aesthetic of the winter print that features the Bean Boot and Boat and Tote, but how could I not love a tiny sweater?! I just can't pick between them.

What signals fall to you?

When the cravings for warm apple cider hit, beach walks in my Sherpa-Lined Bean Boots, and my husband Miles', family-famous turkey chili.

What is your favorite fall tradition?

In our home, fall is the very best time of year. We look forward to decorating the house for the holidays, outdoor movie nights under blankets and the stars, picking out pumpkins with our boys, and baking everything apple!

What are you most looking forward to in the changing season?

The crisp morning air, wearing all the layers, and celebrating our first holidays at the new Sara Fitz FLAGSHIP in York, Maine!
