Happy Birthday Keisha! I was happy to be asked to guest blog to help celebrate your birthday! What a great idea to showcase your favorite things. The favorite thing I was given was polka dots which just so happens to be one of my favorite things as well. Polka dots are so versatile and will never go out of style.
For the birthday girl Keisha loves sweets, I'll start with polka dots cakes and cupcakes.

Polka Dot Cakes and Cupcakes

The first cake in the upper left corner was on the January cover of Gourmet magazine.  This cake and the cupcakes in the bottom left corner both come from cupcakesbyles.blogspot.com. She has such awesome stuff!!  The cake in the bottom right corner is from Country Living Magazine, For all you wonderful bakers there is a tutorial of how to do this beautiful cake.

Polka Dot shoes

Polka Dot Handbag-If you have an extra $1395 laying around you can go to Neiman Marcus and get this adorable Valentino Polka Dot Clutch.

However, I wouldn't suggest wearing the polka dot dress, shoes and handbags together. Too much of a good thing is sometimes Too Much!!

I hope you have a Happy Birthday and thanks for including me in on all the fun!  Many blessings my friend!
