Shabby Apple {Review & $75 Giveaway}

This weeks giveaway caters to the vintage-adoring fashionistas!  Shabby Apple creates feminine clothing with an old-fashioned flair for the modern day woman.  They have everything a girl could want, including dresses, skirts, blouses, swimsuits, fitness wear, maternity clothes, shoes, accessories, and home decor.  While their Shabby Baby collection has gorgeous frocks for the wee-ones to preteens.  I especially love that Shabby Apple is women-owned and operated and donates a portion of their proceeds to help other women start their own businesses.

1. Music Hall Skirt  2. Sirena  3. Starlit Skies  4. Blue Eyes  5. Young Love  6. Starry Night


When Shabby Apple informed me that they were sending me a dress to review, I nearly lost my mind in indecision.  I had so much trouble narrowing down the plethora of loveliness and almost made a power point presentation to have my husband help me decide (because he cares as much as I do, right?).  I finally came to my senses and ordered the Spanish Steps dress in a size XS, in black.  

I'm loving this feminine dress and know that I will get a lot of mileage out of it.  It has such a flattering fit, with a generous bow at the waist.  Please note that I stitched up a quick hem as I do with nearly everything that I purchase - since I'm just over 5 feet tall.

Here I am posing for the camera. 

Spanish Steps - $88

Now for the fantastic part - Shabby Apple is giving one of my readers a $75 gift card!  Enter to win in the Rafflecopter below.  This contest is open to US only, and a winner will be selected at random next week.  Please note that I do verify entries. Thanks for entering and Good luck!

Shabby Apple is also offering a 10% discount code, with the code marinobambinos10off at checkout.  


a Rafflecopter giveaway  

Shabby Apple provided me with the above Spanish Steps dress for the purpose of review.  As always, all opinions are my own, including my new found love for all things Shabby Apple.
