Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow... Frosty the snowman... I'm dreaming of a white Christmas... He's mister white Christmas, he's mister snow... Obviously snow has been on my mind for the past few weeks.I love it. I want it. I need it. I will not be completely and fully 100% happy until I get it. Yes, there is snow up the mountain, which is only a 30 minute drive for me. But I'm talking open the front door and seeing only white covering my yard. Honestly, I go through this feeling every year and the results are always the same...a light dusting of snow that lasts no more than 16 hours. Since I'm most likely not getting snow any time soon, anything white will do. Winter White by polkadotlife

In the spring and summer , mixing prints was al l the rage. As you can probably tell from magazines and fashion shows, that trend is here to stay a while longer. Jus t the other day I tried some mixing with an outfit similar to this... I thought it turned out pretty cut e, I'll hav e to snap a picture and replace this picture for the real thing. That was a subtle take on print blending and now I have more ideas that I'd like to try this fall /winter season.  Fall Print Blending by polkadotlife featuring platform high heels Leopard & Stripe s- Florals paired with str i pes were a big tr end and still are. But I wanted to take stripes to a different level and mix it up with something f resh that we don't see a lot of. This one can be a bit tricky though if you start adding in too much color or too large/too small spots and stripes. In my opinion, this mi x is best if it is kept at a minimal .  Plaid & Floral- Again, let'...

   Is it just me or is it extremely hot right now? The bathtub is going to start taking the #1 spot on my daily to do list. Fill tub with cool water, put on bathing suit, grab a margarita, and relax. That's how hot I am! I don't swim in public pools...it really grosses me out thinking of how many little children have peed in it with a smile on their face. Friday I may need to hit up the beach, and definitely once or twice next week.     With temperatures continuing to rise, along with the humidity level, I've come to find that I want to wear as little amount of clothes as possible. Lately that means a dress, a loose maxi skirt and tank, or a skirt and tank, and I refuse any type of denim until further notice. Don't get me wrong, I love summer time, I just wish my Italian A/C would work a little better. We have 1 wall unit that's supposed to cool the entire house...never gonna happen.     Since I'm pretty sure most of America is also having a h...

I love to workout...BUT if I'm running call the cops or run for your life because something or someone is after me. I didn't make a New Year's resolution really so I've decided to make one now, in July.      Resolution- Start running slowly and work my way up so that I can run longer periods of time.       WHY?       1. Running is a great cardio exercise that you can literally do anywhere. Which is great when I'm on vacations because usually we stay places without gyms.       2. It really is a total body workout. You're using the primary muscles it takes to run, as well as the supporting muscles lime your core and arms.       3. Now for the more honest reason...I don't like my knees. Lately they're just looking a little funky to me and I can't figure out why. Life also blessed me with a booty and I want to keep it in shape and perky . They say 25/26 is the age t...
