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!

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!

Pin Up Girl Clothing - Gorgeous Vintage Inspired Dresses


As some of my readers and Twitter followers will know, I'm currently in the process of finding my first teaching post, and I won't reveal too much as there are still a few steps to take before anything is official, but the job hunting is going incredibly well! I thought I'd share some pretty dresses with you all. These beauties are courtesy of Pin Up Girl Clothing who specialise in some amazing vintage inspired dresses. They cater for a wide range of sizes and curves too which is always nice to see!

Double Dose of Polka Dots - Polka Dots and Pin Ups!

Well folks, it's that time again already.... Monday morning! Time for your double dose of polka dots... after all, who would want to start the week without it! Ok, so this week's dotty theme is polka dots and pin ups... enjoy!

ASOS Fiorucci Rear Window Watch - £50

How adorable is the Fiorucci polka dot pin up watch from ASOS? I just love everything about it! Well, maybe I don't love the price tag too much, as it's more than I normally spend on a watch, but it is pretty none-the-less! Also, you can't see it in the photo of the item, but on the pretty polka dotted watch strap it has a little heart charm... too cute!


Following on with this week's pin up theme - I stumbled across this cute little polka dot pin up pocket mirror from NiceDayDesigns Etsy shop. They sell lots of cute retro styled pocket mirrors My other favourite is the "Eat Me" cupcake pocket mirror... and surprise surprise... it has polka dots on it too! :D
