  4. CC, this is so apt for New Year. Here in the Philippines, people wear dots for New Year because dots signify money. That's why I love dots.

  12. I'm not a big fan of polka dots since they, in my opinion, tend to look a little country sometimes... these images are super cute, though. I like the turquoise top with the b/w skirt! Now the next step for me would be daring to wear it! xoxox

  25. I for one love polka dots, they can go from silly to sexy to sophisticated all year long. Not many styles can do that.
    I adore the one piece green bathing suit, great picks!

  64. I love all the polka dots, especially Phillip Lim's. I want his cutout-back jersey dress. I tried it on a couple weeks ago at Neiman's and it is utterly adorable. The bra hook back is the best detail.
