Circle Circle Dot Dot Trend


Just when you thought winter was never-ending, spring is on the horizon and we couldn’t be more excited for the rising temperatures and hemlines. The added sunshine means toying with this season’s most playful trends: polka dots, bold brights, prim pastels and sheer anything. 

Today on spot: Polka Dots
What I'm wearing: 
Dress: H&M, Tights: Primark, Leg warmers: Charlotte Russe, Booties: UNISA, Scarf: H&M, Bolero: Temptation Boutique, Pearl Earrings and chain: Temptation Boutique, Ring: Temptation Boutique, Watch: Armani

Polka dots are “on-point” for spring, and everyone from Minnie Mouse to Stella McCartney agrees! You can keep a polka dot top simple with a solid skirt, or pump it up by mixing your dots with stripes in the same color scheme. Polka what? Polka yes!
From funky fingernails to fluttering skirts to girly blouses, dresses and beyond, the retro polka dot has made a mega comeback for the spring 2012 season. Polka dots large and small were spotted all over the spring 2012 catwalk, giving you yet another reason to re-live your childhood past (which I hope was as saturated in polka dots as mine was).

You can keep things subtle with a polka dotted clutch or shoe (love it in a flat or pump) or go a bolder route with a full-on polka dotted frock, cardigan or even pant. And, of course, you can't go wrong with a polka dot bikini, perfect for vacation wear or for the upcoming summer season.
Of course, you can apply multiple trends at the same time. For example, pastels are super in this season, so try a polka dotted something in a pretty, soft pastel.
Sick of wearing florals? Try polka dots instead. This spring, black on white will be one of the most popular color combos, as well as pastel and jewel tones. When wearing polka dots keep in mind your height; if you have a small frame try to stick with small polka dots. If you’re tall (lucky you!) you can easily pull off both small and big prints.

Electric and playful

The runways for spring were sprinkled with pops of  cobalt blue , which is a perfect alternative for those that aren’t keen on a typical pastel palette. This bold color adds a sophisticated punch when worn in the form of tailored  blazers  and blouses, but is electric and playful when worn as handbags or statement  jewelry . Get a head start and add this color to your wardrobe before all the blue-fanatics snatch it up this spring. Transforming bright shirts, shoes, dresses and even pants, cobalt blue has been surrounding all the runways this season. Paired with black, it has been the theme of some designer’s shows, including  Monique Lhuillier , who centered all of her  Spring 2012  pieces around the brilliant cobalt blue, basic black, a stunning yellow, and bright white. This color has been proven to be practical in an incredible amount of ways. The latest trend in jeans-wear is the colored jean. There are fifty-five colors alone at  Joe’s Jeans , and corresponding with

Glam Camouflage: the Not-So-Invisible Trend

With Spring well within our grasp and the yearly print trend set to make an emergence, the time has come to address that tetchy issue; that is the camouflage debate. Camouflage print has a lot of well-earned stigma attached, with military overkill and three-quarter length cargo shorts carrying much of the blame. This season, camouflage is set to make a massive comeback becoming one of the most coveted looks of the summer. Of course, it’s not what you wear but the way you wear it. Follow these tips to make sure you stay camouflage cool. What I'm wearing: From Temptation Boutique: Top, Shorts: Miss Me Jeans, Ring: Rhinestones and the Earrings: Rhinestones Hoop. Belt: Ti amo, Necklace: GUESS, Rain Boots: HUNTER, Bag: Evisu, Bracelet Watch: GUESS, 3 pieces Bracelets: H&M When you think of camo, you normally picture heavy duty, “manly” apparel. However, spring 2012’s runways were filled with colorful camo patterns that looked – dare I say it – actually ladylike! The t

How to wear leopard print shoes

What I'm wearing: Shoes: Limited Edition One of the quickest ways to add a dash of personality to any outfit is to mix in a pair of leopard print shoes. But, as popular and fun as they are, leopard prints don't really work with everything. In fact, I can probably name more colors and outfits that leopard print shoes don't work with than I can items they will. The good news is, when you get the right combination, it's a tough one to beat for drama, glamour and sex appeal. Below are a few tips on what to wear with leopard print shoes. The Obvious Choice for Leopard Print Shoes : Black It almost goes without saying, but  black dresses , skirts, and pants are a perfect match for leopard print shoes. Not only because leopard prints have black in them -- although that certainly doesn't hurt -- but also because black really emphasized the lighter tones in traditional leopard print patterns. So, that's an easy one, and you could just r
