Ladies, grab your high heels, lip gloss, confidence, and poise! There is a Shabby Apple Dress waiting especially for you! I'm thrilled about this giveaway. Shabby Apple is a online boutique that I've window shopped countless times, so you can imagine how happy I was when my friends over at Shabby Apple said they would generously offer one my readers the chance to win a $50 giftcard to purchase anything from their site! The boutique is filled with vintage-esque dresses that have charming lace details, high waisted skirts, Audrey Hepburn like flare, classic yet modest silhouettes, timeless prints, and other retro-feminine touches. You'll have fun browsing the site, and you'll find more than just dresses (accessories, shoes, items for little girls, swimsuits, and even maternity dresses!). I could have browsed endlessly, so to keep myself from being too tempted to fill a shopping cart, I stuck to browsing the collections. Here are some of my favorites:
The scalloped top of that yellow dress is feminine and perfect combo of modern and retro, and the lace skirt with the big floppy bow would be so cute either dressed up for a fancy event, or even worn with a tucked in cotton tee and ballet flats. Put me in that striped dress or peplum skirt, and yes, I wouldn't want to wear anything else--love the silhouttes!
The maxi dress I just adore is this effortlessly comfortable yet classy strapped wrap like style in grey and black. Talk about long, lean, and versatile. I am also quite the legging fan, pairing this go-to with slouchy sweaters and boots right now for fall, or even with a tunic and sneakers for errands about town-- and the ones below are perfect for both looks. For a day in the city, I would go with the bottom looks. The color combinations are surprising & cheery, and I love the way the white dress is styled with opaque yellow leggings. Can you tell that I am a little too into yellow?
The collections I loved the most were Roamin Holiday { scalloped yellow dress, lace & bow skirt }, The Lighthouse { islands maxi, maritime leggings }, The Block { white matinee dress, crosswalk skirt } and All Aboard {striped whistlestop dress, peplum skirt }. I can't wait to see your favorites!
In addition to fabulous retro inspired designs, Shabby Apple is also committed to helping women live. They support the fight against global poverty by partnering with Accion-- a non-profit organization with the mission of giving people the financial tools they need to work their way out of poverty. Shabby Apple donates 5% of its net sales to support work with 62 micro finance institutions in 31 countries through out the world. You can read more about their partnerships--over here.
