I have to admit...I'm obsessed with polka dots! It's a classic print that stays in style year to year. So chic...it really it timeless. If you took a peek into my closet you'd see way too many polka dot covered items. But really, is there a thing as too much polka dots? 

Trend Block: Floral Prints

Now that my seasonal allergies have subsided I feel as though I can appreciate floral print a little bit more. I came across this stunning photo of Scarlett Johansson at Comic-Con, and I had to share it with you. This bright and bold Versace sheath dress she has on is so beautiful! Typically I'm not a huge fan of florals...at least not pastel florals (bleh!). It's just a little too cute for me. But bright and bold florals are perfection! The intense colors really elevates the entire look...don't you think?

Today is rather gloomy here in NYC, so wearing a punch of color like this is so necessary! It instantly boosts your mood. This really is such an easy trend to wear.

Pick of the Day

I'm killing a Tuesday afternoon by looking through the Fred Flare website (which I LOVE!)...when all of a sudden I had to stop in my tracks. This Strapless Polka Dot Dress from Fred Flare took my breath away! Isn't it beautiful??? I just love the white with the bold green. This is the perfect dress for garden parties, weekend brunch, and date nights. It features sweet button detailing, a side zip, lined bust, & elastic ruching in back for an extra comfortable fit! Made of 100% cotton.
