Hi there! Welcome to Polka Spots and Freckle Dots!
My name is Louise and I'm a generously-freckled lifestyle blogger from Oxfordshire, England with a passion for style and beauty, and a slight addiction to dresses, colour, novelty accessories, and colourful eye make up.
I love going to gigs, Animal Crossing, photography, reading, quirky brooches (especially from Erstwilder), crafting, cross-stitching, travelling, adventures, nature, creative-writing, musicals, animals, dresses, novelty handbags, trips to the theatre, hanging out with my crazy Tibetan terrier, Rosie, and all things Cath Kidston.
Polka Spots and Freckle Dots is a place where I blog about my style, plus size fashion, beauty, life, health, chronic pain and chronic illness, books, crafts... whatever takes my fancy. I enjoy blogging about all kinds of things. My blog actually began as a plus size fashion blog, but over time became an everything blog.
This blog is my escape from an on-going battle with fibromyalgia, arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, degenerative disc disease, bertolottis disease, tachycardia, and a few other health problems, which, together, have left me in constant, chronic pain and have kept me house bound since September 2011. I started the blog as a distraction from the pain and all the negative parts of living life on hiatus with chronic illness; something to keep me busy during the long hours I spend confined to bed, and somewhere along the line it evolved in to a life line for me to cling to everyday, and an outlet which helps to lift me up.
If you'd like to get in touch with me, or have any questions or comments, you can email me at polkaspotsandfreckledots@gmail.com, or alternatively, tweet @FrecklesandDots.
Thanks for stopping by!
