Mad Men - I'm Mad About Their Style!
I love how completely different, Betty, Peggy and Joan's styles are... and if I were to say which style I was closest to, it'd have to be a mixture of Betty and Peggy. I'd love to be able to wear some of the gorgeous dresses that Joan wears but alas, I certainly haven't got the amazing figure to pull it off!
I love lots of the 50's dresses Betty wears, particularly in the first couple of series!
Joan's look favours figure-hugging dresses... I love the blue one above!

Engagement... and Other Exciting Stuff!
Well exciting news! As of valentines Day I am officially engaged! The other half proposed whilst on holiday in Athens on V-day... how romantic! So there are lots of exciting things to look forward to in the future... like a polka-dotty wedding for starters! It will definitely be a couple of years yet, as I need to save some pennies first, but that just gives me more time to ponder and plan. My younger sister, so she tells me, has already got half the wedding planned: polka dot wedding dress, and dress code, cupcake wedding cake topped with a Lego version of me and the groom, and instead of sugared almonds in the guests' favours... Lego!There are also some more exciting things coming up this year...
Going to Ghana!
Attending the ATL conferenceIn Easter I will be attending the annual ATL conference in Manchester. It'll be a fantastic experience, not to mention a lovely chance to catch up with old friends and people I met last year!
Holiday and Italian Wedding!In the summer I will be heading off with the family back to Italy to attend a friend's wedding and to have another exploration in Rome... exciting!
What exciting things are you looking forward to?

Polka Dot Dresses For The Party Season!
Vero Moda Polka Dot Empire Dress ASOS - £28
Christmas is only round the corner, so it's time to get some brand new polka dots! Although, if I'm honest, I don't need an excuse to increase my polka dottage - but of course that's not going to prevent me from being tempted to buy a couple of new dresses. It certainly didn't take long for my class to realise my polka dots obsession... a matter of minutes I think! Here are a few lovely dresses that I have found to get you started on your party season dress search!

A Break in the Blogging Silence - Polka Dot Dresses!
Some of you may have noticed a distinct lack of posts from my blog of late... I've started my NQT year, we've had a visitation from Ofsted, I've moved house and renovated and decorated it, so it has been slightly action-packed in the All About Abbie household! As a bit of a treat to myself for getting through the past few weeks in one piece (just about!) I decided I would treat myself to something a) pretty, and - most imporantly - b) polka dot! So I have been scouring the web for some delightful dotty dresses to share with you all! Enjoy!
Polka Dot Sailor Dress - H! By Henry Holland at Debenhams
£30.40
I think this is my favourite of the dresses I have discovered... and it's in the sale too! Bonus!
I promise to blog again at some point in the next few weeks. Hope everyone is good and is continuing to inject polka dots into their lives! What is the best polka dotty item you've bought recently? Send me a tweet or email and I'll feature it in my next post!

The Prettiest Vintage Polka Dots Around...
As you are all well aware, I am a self-confessed polka dot addict, and thus I am always looking for my next fix. Vintage shops are always a good source of this retro pattern and whenever I trawl a vintage shop I always fall in love with at least a handful of beautiful polka dotty clothes... so I thought I'd share some little gems I have found on my recent trawling of online vintage shops with you... Enjoy!

Dollydagger - Brighton Boutique and Bettie Page Dresses
Since Dollydagger opened their boutique shop in Brighton, I'd been eagerly awaiting my next trip home from uni (in Leeds) so I could visit it and see all the gorgeous dresses in the flesh. Last weekend I jumped on the train and headed along to Brighton for a day of fun with friends and so I tracked down their shop in the lanes and made a bee-line for the boutique! It was lovely to see some of the dresses I lust about on their website and it made me want them all the more! I think when I get my first proper wage in September I will have to treat myself to one! But in the meantime I will have to lust after the dresses on their website... including some of these lovely newbies in the "Bettie Page" collection... enjoy!

Modcloth - Gorgeous Dresses Galore!
Guess what I'm supposed to be doing... yep, a whole heap of revision! Guess what I'm actually doing... oh yes, blogging! After trawling the internet for pretty things to ogle I came across Modcloth and found so many gorgeous dresses I could barely fit them all into this post! I love the cute names that each dress has. Which is your favourite?
