It’s hard to miss that it’s Valentine’s Day today, with reds and pinks and hearts dotting not only our blog, but the retail world all over! Do you celebrate this day of the lovers, or are you more of a “love should be for every day” sort of person? Do you have plans for this evening, with a new outfit or restaurant to try out? Perhaps you’re just glad the day is almost over and the teddy bears and chocolates make their exit? Whatever your take on this day, we are card-carrying hopeless romantics here at Polka Dot Central, and love any opportunity to get schmoozy over love in general. But we just get to do it every day!
Enjoy whatever you have planned today, and perhaps maybe just treat yourself – to a break and a browse of this week’s Friday Roundup!
