Polka Dot Life

Can You Feel The Love by polkadotlife featuring heart rings    Valentine's Day is right around the corner and love is blossoming in stores all around us. When I think of February 14th, my mind is filled with roses, cupid, diamonds, hearts, lace, frills, bows, and of course pink, red, and gold. Personally, my favorite item in the set above is the red heart print dress which would pair well with the gold sequin pumps.  I really wanna WOW my husband this year and do something for him. Typically I'm always the one getting pampered, gifts, all the mushy stuff...not hubs.  Here are a few ideas I'm pondering over...

Now I can't wait to bake this delicious looking cake and share my crafty V-Day side with pictures documenting my journey to hand made love. Aaaahhhh....I love Valentine's Day! Are y...

For daytime wearing, you could switch out the platforms for flats or strappy sandals with a lower heel. I would loose the belt, go for the blazer undone, and throw on a few bracelets instead of piling on necklaces.

Spring is right around the corner and I can't wait because there are so many great trends that I can't wait to take part in.  1. Color blocking ...never has been my thing, but as part of the new year I'm going to take risks even if I am unsure. 2. Structured Handbag's have always peaked my interests, but I don't have any bags this sleek. Of course a little metallic adds in a piece of fun and glam to!  3. The Star Print fad has gotten to me and I now want it 4. Sequin Shorts are perfect for a spring/summer night out, these will be next since I've already ordered the leather ones.  5. The Hunger Games is an awesome trilogy and YES this bracelet is not only inspired by the books/movie but it's also fashionable. Sort of reminds me of the southwestern trend 6. Hot Pink Strappy Platforms- What more do I have to say? Really?  7. Pink Cutout Dress - Now this is the type of cutout dress I've been looking for! Still ladylike, not too revealing, and show...
