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!


Polka Dot Sweetheart Mesh Dress - Dorothy Perkins
£30


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!

Peacocks and Pretty Frocks!

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but over the past few years Peacocks has become my staple for affordable pretty frocks! You wouldn't have found me saying that a few years ago. Peacocks has susbstantially upped its game on the dress front and there are countless dresses that I am lusting over on their website at the moment... The floral prom dress (£38) above is just one of the many, here are the rest...

Pretty Floral Dress to Welcome the Spring Sunshine!



What a glorious sunny spring day it is today! This morning I handed in an assignment that I had been battling with so I went into town to treat myself to something pretty... and Peacocks certainly did not dissappoint with this gorgeous dress! I had to buy it... I justified my spending with the fact that I can use student discount in Peacocks so it doesn't count ;) Plus it comes with a belt, so I'm getting a little freebie in there too.

I love this cream floral print. My wardrobe, expecially my dresses wardrobe (yes, I have a whole separate wardrobe full of dresses!) is beginning to feature a lot of dresses from Peacocks at the moment: they're cheaper than most places and have a good range of styles and patterns that appeal to me.

Not the most fabulous photo of me... I'm not as photogenic as many other bloggers out there, so I tend to avoid outfit posts. But after putting the dress on as soon as I got home I couldnt resist sharing mm love for it with you all!

Not only is the dress available in the cream florals, but also in this very cute blue and white bird print too! Plus it's inexplicably £2 cheaper for the blue version... I think I know what I'll be buying next! But for now I'm going to put on a warm cardigan and have a sunny walk in the park to enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
