Spring Trend: Le Polka Dots

Every couple of years polka dots pop up. This season some of the biggest names in fashion have included the dot in their Spring collections.  The polka dot historically had a preppy vibe. This Spring they have taken on a sophisticated and whimsical look. I'm loving it. Scroll down to find a style with your name on it!

Carolina Herrara
As seen on Mandy Moore at the 2019 Emmys. This gown is exceptionally polka dot pretty. Too bad it is sold out now, but I can see why.

A very fun look for the money! The crop pants are an interesting length. And the blazer has the right proportion for the pants. Best yet, each piece is available up to 4X.

A New Year, A New Color. Meet Radiant Orchid

(Via Sephora)

Unless you have been living on a black cloud, you most likely have head that the Pantone Color of 2014 is Radiant Orchid. Described as a "captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones," by the  company’s executive director, Leatrice Eiseman, this color indeed radiates excitement! It adds a pop of color to everything it is mixed with. I especially like it used as an interior accent. Safe to say,Spring promises to be abloom with color and all shades of purple and pink.
I like it!

Love it paired with any shade of green, especially
chartreuse. Equally exciting, when used as an
accent for neutral rooms.

The season's hottest pattern is stripes! We're not talking the classic nautical look....the runways have amped up the ante with bolder lines and plenty of them..head to toe!  

Dolce and Gabbana striped poplin dress is good for so many reasons. Wear it day to night. Of course, black pumps are perfect, but aren't
