Giveaway!

Anytime is good time for a giveaway, am I right? The sweet ladies over at Shabby Apple contacted us about giving away this 90 Words per Minute dress, and I immediately jumped at the chance. I have always loved Shabby Apple clothes not just for the style, but for the fact that you can look beautiful while being modest-- a definite plus. It goes right back to what the dress was always meant to be: a one-piece outfit.

.

So, not only do I have a giveaway for you today, but also a coupon code just for you: fiddlesticksandfunnygirls10off. Just enter it at checkout, and count your savings up until August 28th. I have been coveting this dress lately, so I may just have to buy it now that I have an excuse :)

.

So, a little bit about Shabby Apple for those who are new to the site. Not only do they supply women with style, but rock it out in the maternity, toddler, and brand new preteen lines. Stop by the accessory and shoe sections, and you are covered! Their styles are classic, yet modern and look at place on any size, shape, or personality. The best part about Shabby Apple is their contributions towards Unitus, a group dedicated to help working women and their families. 1.6 million families in India have been touched. Amazing. While 5% of Shabby Apple's profits support more work in India, shoppers can help out even more by donating each time they purchase from the website.

.

So, have I got your attention? If you want to be entered into the giveaway, you can do so 2 different ways:

.

1. Leave a comment on this post

2. Link back to this giveaway on your own blog and get your name put in twice. (Create another comment and tell me about your link)
.

All entries will be accepted until Monday, August 3rd, 12 pm MT. I will pick the winner later that day.

.

Good luck, and head on over to Shabby Apple for more goodies :) Happy shopping!

Flower Art

Look at the gorgeous work of Lyndie Dourthe-- isn't each flower like a piece of artwork? I love the flowers..*sigh*. Drool over these beauties for a while.

Frills and Stuff

Love this May 2009 British Harper's Bazaar cover shoot. The dress is to die for! I also love how the clothes play with the idea of soft femininity vs. dark masculinity --something I would love to incorporate into my fall wardrobe. Have a good Monday!
