Ahoy There! A Shabby Apple Giveaway!



I am a lucky girl. 


Shabby Apple, the purveyor of gorgeous vintage-style women's dresses (they even have adorable maternity dresses for those who may need it!), has again offered to give away one of their dresses to a lucky Emma's Music reader!  




I thought the perfect dress for the summer was this little beauty, the Admiral, because who didn't either adore their sailor dress when they were a little girl or want a sailor dress when they were a little girl!*  


Shabby Apple is an amazing shop because not only are their dresses beautifully designed and very high quality, when you purchase a dress from them, they donate to micro-loans around the world!  So you can feel good about your latest style indulgence!  


They have a spectacular sale going on until the end of July where you can get 20% off any dress with the coupon code - Summer20 .  If you want to wait until August to buy that perfect little frock, use emmasmusic10off anytime from now until August 17 (weirdly enough, that's my childhood's best friend's birthday.  Coincidence? Well... probably).  


If you decide to buy a dress as well as enter the giveaway, please click the little button on the side of my blog - it's the very best way to get to their shop...




Now, to enter the giveaway?  Easy-breezy.  


Simply leave a comment.

4.  Tell me your favorite summer memory
5.  Tell me what song is essential for a summer soundtrack


For as many as you do, leave an additional comment!


The giveaway will conclude on Monday, July 25 at 11:59 EST.  
Good luck! I hope you win!

*If you were never a little girl, but instead lived the earlier part of your life as a little boy, don't let that stop you!  Surely there is a wife/girlfriend/sister/coworker/barista you would make insanely happy with this little dress!  And I assure you - she wants a sailor dress too.

And the Oscar (or dress) Goes To...




So, this post will be concerning three items:
1. The results of my giveaway
2. Reception and giving of Stylish Blogger Award from the lovely Clara over at Via Margutta
3. Highlighting Kate Gabrielle's very generous giveaway at her blog Scathingly Brilliant

1. My darling niece, Ainsley, picked the winner for the fab Shabby Apple giveaway! And the winner was...



Michaela! Thank you to all who entered the giveaway!



2. Thank you so much, Clara, for the Stylish Blogger award! Clara has a wonderful blog about classic film and music - everyone should read it!


I have to post seven things about myself...
a. I love sweets entirely. In fact, I think I could exist completely never eating anything savory again, were it a healthy option. I love food period, but sweet food, ah, l'amour.

b. I can do a mean Mary Poppins impersonation (not a "mean Mary Poppins" a "mean impersonation") and fairly good Ariel and Aurora ones as well.

c. I used to do improv comedy - like in the show Who's Line is It Anyway? when I lived in Seattle.

d. I am a pianist so one would assume my hands would be quite picturesque... well, I'm afraid I keep my nails very, very short so that I never can do anything fancy with them. Once I got a manicure, painted all the nails very prettily, and my boyfriend at the time said my fingers look like I'd stuck them in Jelly Bellys. Sniff.

e. I used to work at a chocolate shop making chocolates. I'm not joking. It was amazing.

f. I have two dream wardrobes - safari-themed and aviatrix-themed. I really think I could be satisfied with my wardrobe were it almost entirely comprised of khaki pants, boots, and creme-colored button-down shirts.

g. I can't handle having short hair. I just chopped it all off a month or so ago and am already trying to pull, pin and twist it up into ponytails and buns. It's a sickness.

I also nominate seven others for the award! And they are...


Thank you again, Clara!

3. Aaaand, dear Kate Gabrielle has an amazing giveaway at her even more amazing blog (Scathingly Brilliant) - a $50 ModCloth gift card! So get on over there and enter!

Shabby Apple

Feature Friday and Giveaway!




This week I'm featuring the gorgeous women's dress boutique Shabby Apple! I love shops that use creativity when creating the photo shoots for the dresses and Shabby Apple does an amazing job - making me crave dresses that aren't even my normal style! They also have a marvelous variety of shapes and colors - keeping me browsing for hours.

This Feature Friday is extra-special because Shabby Apple has been nice enough to let me host a giveaway! I chose this dress to get us in the mood for summer... I love the color and fit looks like it would be flattering on pretty much every body.

To enter the giveaway, you simply have to leave me a comment. That's it. Hip hooray for simple giveaways!

However, if you want additional entries (and who doesn't, I ask you?), you can:

1. Like them on Facebook (there you'll get special deals and news about them - totally worth a like - and worth two entries)
2. Tell me which style icon you can imagine wearing this dress
4. Tweet about it or mention it in a blog entry

The giveaway will end on Wednesday, March 23rd and the winner announced the 25th.

So, there you go! I'd love to have a ton and a half of entries so please don't hesitate to pass this along!
