You know as you start to grow up...get older...have kids...and just CHANGE???? You want to stop dressing like a teenager or a college kid and express your own style. Less going with the flow and MORE desire to be your OWN person. The person that you ALWAYS wanted to be but just hadn't let out yet. Well that is where I am right now. I am ready to be ME. A little quirky, mixed with some vintage flair, and a HUGE dash of awesome:) At least that is the goal. Clearly I might be rambling right now....
On to more important things. Have you ever heard of Shabby Apple??? Well they recently contacted me about having a giveaway on this blog, and after taking a look (which may or may not have lasted for 3 hours) at their site, I was like....YES PLEASE!!! Shabby Apple offers vintage inspired dresses, beautiful little girl dresses, amazing jewelry and accessories, and much more (even swimwear). And the best part....their clothing is beautiful, feminine, AND modest. LOVE THAT!!!!
Here are a few of my ABSOLUTE favorites...I am thinking maybe some of my Christmas money may have just found a new home!!!
Like this black SALERNO bathing suit.
Seriously...A non fitted bathing suit....why have I not heard of this before???? LOVE IT!!! Maybe I need to buy one and head off to Rome....just sayin!!!
The MIRAGE bracelet
There are so many lovely vintage inspired pieces at Shabby Apple, but this one I KNOW I could REALLY get some use out of. Dress it up. Dress it down. Wear it naked for all I care, JUST WEAR IT!!!
AND finally...
The ATLANTIC FOG dress.
Like this AVIARY dress. The little girl dresses are so sweet. They are the dresses that we ALL want to make for our little girls but just don't have the time or skill:)
Ok.Ok...enough about me. Now it is time for a little bit about YOU!!!
