So lets talk prints, for me the print that is about to take over in a big way is the not so new; polka-dot print. Its an old faithful along with the good old stripe but with new shapes and fresh ideas on styling it's so right now!

I've been earning my spots recently with some old pieces found in my wardrobe. It's always a good idea before you hit the shops to have a little look at what you already have. Especially with such a classic print as polka-dots. For a new season twist add some fresh accessories, dress down the smart and dress up the casual.
If you do want to inject some brand new spots into your wardrobe then I've done the hard work for you and edited my pick of the high street.....
