The New Polka Dot

We all know I love a polka dot dress and have many many of them, but this polka dot obsession has moved beyond the PDD with a recent sweater and a flowing polka dot pant purchase. I kinda want to wear them together, but maybe that is a little much? I think these ladies are doing it right. Maybe next I can do the polka dot pantsuit. Not too much at all.

Fashion Week Street Style: NYC, London and Milan

New York, London and Milan fashion weeks are history — we've just Paris to go. So yeah, things are winding down here in the office and I have had a moment to look at the inspiring street style shots I have been collecting off our site. When I put them all together they certainly had a common thread and fell into little categories, although in no way was I thinking about when I dragged them each to my desktop. We all just like what we like and it is pretty obvious what I am into: florals, stripes, polka dots, rose tones, pattern on pattern, buttoned-up collars, hats, long-skirts, 40s-inspired dresses, skinny waist belts, platforms and those sparkly Miu Mius. What about you? What are you seeing on the streets that you love?

The PDD

The Polka Dot Dress that is. As we all know, I have developed a bit of an obsession with leopard these days — but before my fondness for feline kicked in, there was another pattern that prevailed, and is still the most prominent print in my wardrobe. Yup polka dots, they have been all over the runway at Marc Jacobs and more this season, but I have always had an affinity for the polka dot, preferably the polka dot dress, and preferably the polka dot dress in blue, black or white (there I am wearing the maxi).

I purchased yet another (in the front) on my trip to London at this little makeshift vintage sale I randomly passed. Obviously from the photo of part of my collection hanging in my window (just an excuse to document the sun again), I do already have a few. But I didn't have a sheer mid-length one that fits perfectly with my new style for spring. Pretty amazing, right? I cannot wait until it gets warm enough to wear it. What is your favorite pattern?
