Shabby Apple Giveaway

Last week, I got an email from the ladies at Shabby Apple and I was SO. EXCITED. 
I have ventured over to their site a few times...browsing, day dreaming, "window shopping".  I love their dresses.  They are so vintage, but modern...and sassy.  I have my eye on several styles.  

They are introducing a new line titled Roamin' Holiday

Can you guess what the inspiration for new line is?

Let me give you some hints...pasta (my favorite food group), rolling hills, vineyards, gondola rides, romance, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo...the Sistine Chapel...

ITALY.

They asked me to write about my favorite Italian painting. I LOVE art.  I was one of the geeky people in high school that took classes like Humanities and Art Appreciation...and went to Operas and art exhibits.  So, this is right up my alley.  I also love the Renaissance...which means rebirth...it just sounds so fresh and new.  There were some beautiful pieces that came out of that period.  Michelangelo, a known sculptor, was commissioned by Pope Julius II to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. 

From that commission, came this gorgeous piece of art.  No easy feat.  It took him 4 years.  I can't imagine how difficult and consuming that must have been.  This portion of the ceiling is referred to as the Creation of Adam.  It's been used in stationary, cards, books, publications, and television shows.  It highly influences pop culture.  Aside from all of that, I just think it's beautiful. 

So, in honor of Shabby Apple's new line, Roamin' Holiday featuring Italian inspired dresses, they are allowing me to offer one of my LUCKY readers a FREE dress!! 

How exciting is that?! 

Here are the styles you'll be able to choose from...

You can also pick from the little girls dresses: Creamsicle or Pink Panther

They offer dresses in a variety of sizes, for teens, and kids.  Their website is so helpful and easy to navigate.  They have sizing charts, fit guides, and like I said before, they'll even help you find your style!  Shabby Apple also offers vintage-y accessories, jewelry, shoes, etc.  You really MUST go check out their site!

I tweeted about it but that's not very helpful to anyone since I have next to no followers because I'm rarely on there.

Shawn said...

I think the Da Vinci is still my favorite but I would also love the Freshwater Pearl.

And since I'm working out again I like the Hero long sleeve tee with the Warrior II yoga pants.

And when I get skinny I'll take the Partner dress because my ass will be rock hard and will amazing in that dress!
