Summer Dresses Are HOT: Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Hey, hey, hey—it’s day 2 of MIBR’s “What’s HOT For Summer” blog event!  I hope that everyone had a chance to stop by yesterday and check out the awesome program and giveaway from Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks, if not no worries you have plenty of time to check it out and enter! 

It’s almost summer and that means a new wardrobe and I don’t know about any of you, but any excuse to buy new clothes is a great excuse!  And what’s the hotter for summer than gorgeous dresses? 

I’ve been a huge fan of Shabby Apple for a while now, I love their classic, elegant designs and the impressive selection of styles, patterns, and colors.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Shabby Apple let me introduce you to the place to find the hottest women’s dresses and little girl’s dresses…

Shabby Apple welcomes you to great dresses that make dressing simple.

After years of not being able to find stylish dresses that covered enough skin to make you really feel comfortable (without wearing a tank top, cardigan or long slip), owners Emily and CK decided to do something about it.

They visited trade shows, marketplaces and designer studios only to discover the problem was not that department stores weren't buying the right dresses, but that designers weren't designing them.
Shabby Apple is proud to offer you fantastic dresses that allow you to look fabulous, without having to compromise anything else.

A return to what dresses were always meant to be — a one-piece outfit. No need to add anything...no tank tops, no cardigans, nothing (except accessories, of course!).

Shabby Apple also focuses on helping women worldwide. Through our charitable work with women throughout Asia and Africa, we are able to convert dress sales into lifestyle changes for women and children.

I don’t know about you, but I have an extremely difficult time finding fun, flirty, fantastic women’s dresses in the stores where I live, that means I usually take to the internet when I need something fabulous and Shabby Apple is always one of my very first stops!  If you’re in the market for something special and fabulous you definitely need to check out Shabby Apple!  And if you do happen to click over and have a look around how about an extra 10% off of your purchase?  Yes, you read that right, if you enter the code misadventures10off at the checkout you get an extra 10% off your purchase!  Make sure you “Like” Shabby Apple on Facebook to receive to get special promotions and exclusive discounts from Shabby Apple! 

And as if that wasn’t enough I have more goodies for you…one MIBR reader is going to win a fabulous dress from Shabby Apple.  Take a look at the 3 dresses below, because 1 of you lucky ladies (or gents) is going to win one of them!

First up we have the divine Da Vinci which is new for Spring 2011!

Take the guesswork out of dressing with the soft and simple Da Vinci dress.  One part sweatshirt, one part puff-sleeved perfection, this easy-wearing number has a flare for the informal with its drop waist, A-line skirt and kangaroo pockets.

Next we have the equally stunning Cortez which just so happens to be one of founder CK’s picks!

The ruffled cap-sleeves and high ruffle collar and trim give a playful air to this classic silhouette. Done in navy blue cotton poplin and contrasted with gold metallic buttons, the dress has a slightly military-inspired (or conquistador-inspired) feel. But with a cinching sash at the waist and it’s ravishing ruffles, this dress maintains it’s attractive femininity.

And finally we have something for the Lil Divas…45 Words Per Minute (love the name)!

Taking the nickname “Little Secretary Dress”, it has a dressy tie-collar at the neck and adorable puff sleeves with a band that ends conveniently just above the elbow. The hem ends at the knee and includes trendy ruching at the hips. With its easy to care for poly / rayon / spandex jersey fabric, this dress is perfect for any little girl who’s always on the go. A classy fit for a little busy body, 45 WPM is hassle-free and comfortable!

Come on admit it, those are some fabulously fabulous dresses, the hard part is going to be choosing just one!  Want to try your hand at winning one of the gorgeous Shabby Apple dresses?  Details on how you can enter are below!
