Designer Tom Ford is a successful fashion designer with his own label and hundreds of fainting girls clutching after his clothes. But to stay on top of the game, he has to be a bit more in control than the average person. But don't ever call him a control freak!

"I hate that word. But, in my life, I've often been called a control freak. There needs to be a better word for it. 'Control freak' makes it sound like you're crazy. "

When asked if he was hands own with his collection, Tom answered...

"If your name is on a shoe, then the heel is the way you want it and the toe is the way you want it and the leather is exactly the quality you want it. A lot of the furniture [on the set of A Single Man] was from my own house. I painted the paintings that were hanging on Charlie's [Julianne Moore's character] wall. If it's not your movie, what's the point? When you're creating something that is expressive, that's the point — it represents your point of view. So, yes, I was an extremely hands-on director."

I think it's a good thing that Tom has control over what his brand produces. That's the best way to make quality things!

I was shocked today at how cold it has gotten here in Nashville. The weather just went south and suddenly it's 43 degrees outside and I'm shivering in my coat! It was then that I wish I had a chunky warm sweater on underneath my jacket. Here are three sweaters that I have my eye on. How do you keep warm during the winter?

1. Marine Knitted Sweater
2. Anne Loft Corsage Sweater
3. Oslo Cardigan
