Hello sweeties! Today I present to you a sponsored giveaway from Shabby Apple, a specialty online boutique that offers a diverse collection of vintage inspired and contemporary style women's dresses, casual dresses, skirts, accessories, gifts and women's apparel. Shabby Apple's fashion offerings fill in the need of today's women  to look feminine and beautiful not for what they bare but for what they wear. The people behind Shabby Apple know how challenging it is for women to find the perfect dress, hence they strive to design highly fashionable dresses for women of all body types. Shabby Apple is a company for women, of women and for women. 

The vintage inspired collections are all exquisitely dreamy. I personally love the flirty styles of  Mad Hatter,  Roamin Holiday, South Pacific, Oh la la, and Inca Trail. Meanwhile, the boutique collections are seriously sophisticated and classy. The Amalfi Coast Swim Collection is swoon worthy beach wear that evokes romance novel glam. The Boysenberry Pie Collection is a retro-tastic collection of adorable aprons. For fitness fanatics, Blossom is a sleek collection of fit and feminine exercise wear. Whatever you body type or personality, there's a Shabby Apple dress to match your style.

Shabby Apple is not just about apparel. There's also pretty jewelry and accessories, shoes and hair details to complete one's look. For the vintage loving girl, the boutique also has a lovely arts and crafts collection of bath and beauty, home decor and gift items.

I love my little Tumblr blog that I opened a little accessories shop to go with it.  Five Fancies on Big Cartel offers 5 one-of-a-kind accessories items at a time. All under $10! The concept is inspired by my love for great, unique finds. Once an item sells out, it's gone. Come and visit the shop before these ring birds fly away!
