I ♥ polka dots

Last weeks Viva magazine (from the NZ Herald) did a feature on polka dots and there was a quote  from Marc Jacobs in the article that I really liked- "Polka dots are exuberant, chic and whimsical".  I LOVE polka dots so here are a few things I've found from some of my favourite online stores plus a few more I've come across in my search- I actually had to stop writing this blog post as I could have kept finding polka dot things all night- I will be dreaming of polka dots tonight!

ART

From Damien Hirst's 'The Complete Spot Paintings 1986-2011' exhibition
kusama
I so wish I'd gone to this exhibition back in 2010 at the City Gallery in Wellington- an exhibition of works from Japanese artist, known as 'the Princess of Polka Dots',  Yayoi Kusama.  I am going to do a bit more research on Kusama as I think she would be a great artist for teaching art- it's always good to have an artist for the kids to learn about before creating their own artist inspired art works. And I need to have some more artists up my sleeve for teaching..I love teaching about one of my favourite artists Keith Haring but don't want to be thought of as a one-trick pony!

I am so with you there! I adore polka dots and you have found some awesome stuff. May be this us why my new party dresses about to be launched are in red green and brown polka dots. I will have to hope that other shoppers will love them too!

Lovin all those polka dots. I wonder if I can convince my hubby to have polka dot wallpaper in our bedroom?

Hi Megan, I too love polka dots, in particular red ones. I remember reading in a Country Living Magazine oneday ... how can anyone not feel happy when drinking out of a red polka dot mug ... so I bought some & it is absolutely true!!! Great collection you have put together there, have a great week, Julie :-)

Loved seeing your collection of polka dotted objects. I'm a fan of polka dots, too. Can't stop buying spotty fabric (although I probably should)

I love polka dots too - they always make me smile. I have a pink laptop case covered in white polka dots and it makes me feel happy to just look at it. xxx

I love spots so this post has been just delightful! We've been making pom pom garlands here so from a distance it looks like spots magically hanging from the walls - love it!

Have a fab week hon,
