Last summer, I had the pleasure of wearing this black ruffle dress by Shabby Apple to BlogHer 2010. If you are not familiar with this online boutique, it is best-known for its vintage-inspired dresses for women. Shabby Apple also brings us jewelry, handbags, shoes, accessories, and adorable girl's boutique dresses.
Are you an hourglass, an apple, a pear, or something else? This boutique is one of the few that allows you to shop by body type. This is one of my favorite features about the Shabby Apple website. It made choosing the right dress for me so much easier.
Aside from the gorgeous dresses, another reason why I love Shabby Apple is because this brand donates 5% of its net sales to aid women in India through a non-profit organization called Unitus. Customers are also invited to further the cause by donating an extra $5, which can be added to their Shabby Apple order total.
Visit ShabbyApple.com to view their full line of vintage-inspired fashions. For a limited time, you can save 10% off your Shabby Apple purchase by using Code: 3garnets2sapphires10off at checkout. Also visit Shabby Apple on Facebook to stay up-to-date on their latest products, promotions, and contests.
Thank you to Shabby Apple for providing the prize for this contest.
