I have been loving polka dots lately. Aside from florals, it’s definitely one of my favorite prints this season. Not only is the polka dot a classic pattern that is easy to mix and match, it’s also a simple way to add a playful punch to your wardrobe.

My dotty love got me thinking, though…Why is it actually called ‘polka dot’ anyway? Well, I researched the matter and found out that there is an actual relation to the polka dance! Who knew? Apparently, the print was popular right when polka music and dancing were all the rage. And the rest is history…

What do you think about this dotty look? Are you ready to give polka dots a go?

As always thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

Happy Friday, dolls! It’s that time of year, where I’m all on a mission to find that perfect little white dress for the last weeks of summer. I live in Chicago, so I do not follow the rules when it comes to wearing all white. Anytime that I stumble across an affordable LWD, I buy it without hesitation. I received this amazingly chic dress from AMI Clubwear, for under 30 bucks ($29.99). I’m definitely wearing this the dress again when celebrating my wedding anniversary this week. Hooray for wedding anniversaries! It’s my favorite time of year!

Thanks for stopping by & a big THANK YOU to AMI Clubwear for sponsoring this post!

Happy Wednesday, lovelies! Today I’m sharing my MUST-HAVE beauty product with you! I’m all about protecting my skin (from environmental pollutants, to oxidative stress, etc.). I love researching about current beauty products on the market that will help repair, refresh, and renew my skin, and I’m so happy to announce that I found the product! I got to try the new formula by Valentia, called Even Glow Serum and I can’t stop raving about it!

I’ve been using Valentia Even Glow Serum for about two weeks (the glass bottle comes with a dropper applicator). I only needed 5-6 drops to cover my entire face and neck, and I must say: Absorption is super quick, and leaves you with a fresh scent of oranges (hubs loves the smell!). But that’s not all…It also:

EVENS SKIN TONE

Vanquish dark spots and skin discoloration with this new generation Vitamin C Serum. Quickly refresh uneven and ill-textured skin with smooth, wrinkle-free skin that leaves you looking flawless and ageless.

INCREASES GLOW & RADIANCE

Revitalize your skin with essential fatty acids that leave skin smooth and visibly brighter. Smooth skin capable of reflecting light will give your skin a youthful glow and a brilliant shine for that well-rested and refreshed look.

ABSORBS RAPIDLY

Moisturizes skin due to the capacity of the hyaluronic acid to absorb water, thereby increasing fluid between cells, giving your skin a smoother and younger appearance. This intense water absorption means no more dry, peeling or cracked skin, even in extreme weather.

BOOSTS COLLAGEN PRODUCTION

The presence of Organic Rosehip Seed oil to support Vitamin C increases collagen production so your skin retains the elasticity responsible for a youthful appearance and prevents skin sagging associated with aging. Enjoy smooth and supple skin that takes years off your appearance.

REDUCES WRINKLES & FINE LINES

Reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles with the help of our foundation 20 % Vitamin C. Special ingredients such us Hyaluronic Acid and Organic Sea Buckthorn oil work to plump up the skin, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles in the skin so it is smoother, clearer and younger.

As always, thanks for stopping by & a BIG THANK YOU to Valentia for sponsoring this post!

Swoon alert! I am totally coveting over this “One Piece Wonder” of a bathing suit from AMI Clubwear. I haven’t worn a ‘one piece’ since I was like 7 years old (LOL) but I simply could not resist this simple yet sexy, trendy yet classic, ONE PIECE bathing suit. It’s hard not to be noticed walking down the coastline in such a suit, so if you’re in the market for one and haven’t found the option that’s just right, check out what AMI Clubwear has to offer. Prepare to be dazzled!

As always, thanks for stopping by & a big THANK YOU to AMI Clubwear for sponsoring this post!
