Playing Dress Up: A Giveaway ♥♥♥

Hey, I'm a girl, and we
like to play dress-up.


~Charlize Theron


Hello, sweet friends!

It's Friday and I feel
like playing dress up, today.
Forget the mukluks, parkas,
scarves and mittens....
I'm dreaming about sunny
skies and warm breezes and

LOOK what's in my 
dress-up trunk.....

Wanna play?


Here
Sorry girls, 
this one is MINE : )
{Seriously, I just ordered it!}

I was over the moon to
discover the loveliest
on-line boutique this week 
called Shabby Apple 
and I want to share
my find with YOU!


My friend Becky would rock this dress!
The Mauna Kea.
Here.
As if the dresses weren't
enough to love, I love 
the story behind the company
even more. 


Old friends Emily and CK 
started shabbyapple.com in 2006 
after feeling frustrated at the 
lack of dresses on the market that
could be worn without needing
a tank, a cardigan, a long slip
or leggings to make them 
comfortably wearable.


{This becomes even more
challenging as you get older!}



Black Trench Coat Dress
 My mom would make this sing : )
Here
After visiting trade shows and 
design studios {CK lives nine 
blocks from where NY Fashion
Week shows are held!} and finding
that designers weren't designing
their kind of dresses, they decided 
to encourage new fashion designers 
to create the type of designs that
 they were looking for.  Their
Emerging Designer Program is
unique to the retail industry.

She reminds me of my cousin's fiancée....
I'd wear this with little white Keds!
Here


They also decided that a business
that helps women look beautiful
could also help women around
the world overcome poverty and 
provide a better life for their children.
Shabby Apple donates 5% of
its net sales to Unitus, which makes
micro-credit loans to women in
developing countries who want
to start a business.


Shabby Apple offers yummy,
wonderful for work, play, evenings
out and everything in between.  
CK loves to travel and incorporates
colors and shapes from other cultures
into designs for the various SA collections.
She also likes to feel like a woman,
and draws her ideas from antique
clothing.  She and Emily used to love
watching old movies together and
talking about the fashions they saw!
There is something for all ages,
from little girls to those well-seasoned.

My daughter would look sweet in this!

Each collection has its 
own story {love that, too!} 
and cool names such as

south pacific
oh la la
the silk road
all that jazz
1943

Perfect for my sister-in-law, due in May : )
Here.
Even though they are new to me,
Shabby Apple clothing and accessories
have been featured on The Today Show, 
on-line at AOL and Daily Candy, and in 
Glamour, Southern Living, USA Today, 
Teen Vogue, People, Lucky, Self and 
Marie Claire, to name a few.  They have 
also been featured on numerous websites 
and blogs,  now including Privet and Holly : )

My niece would kick up her heels in this!
Shabby Apple has dresses for all shapes, 
sizes and ages.  I used the website's option
to Shop by Body Type.  After answering
three simple questions, I was given dress
choices based on my body type.  I have 
to say that I was wowed by all 
of the recommendations!


One of my favorites.
Here.
