My Italian Vacation
So, obviously I didn't really take an Italian vacation but...
I can get an Italian vacation feeling by exploring Pinterest and shopping for
vintage inspired women's dresses, skirts,
accessories and many other things at Shabby Apple and so can you!
As a matter of fact, Shabby Apple has a new line of women's dresses it just debuted
called Roamin' Holiday!
Here's the exciting part! The good people at Shabby Apple are letting me do a giveaway
of one of their new Roamin' Holiday dresses.
I got to choose which dress I wanted to giveaway but I could not decide between two.
So whomever wins gets to pick which dress they'd prefer to own.
Isn't that nice?
Here are your choices....
Dress 1
Da Vinci
This is the perfect little knit dress for sightseeing in Rome or
exploring the Flea Market on a Saturday morning.
Dress 2
Spanish Steps
Perfect for riding your Vespa?
I think perfect for a spring wedding or Easter Sunday.
Shabby Apple has lots of fashion choices.
I think they have the cutest group of swimsuits I've ever seen!

I needed this colorful vacation trip this morning~snow all over the place here! I have to say I agree that those swimsuits are adorable. I would have to get the ruffled aqua one.

ReplyDeleteSpanish Steps is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking me along on your vacation! And I didn't cost you a plane ticket either. Lovely dresses they have. And the swimsuits aren't "barely there." (Which at my age, I like.)

Happy follower! Take me to Italy! Loved the photos!
ReplyDeleteSpanish Steps. I think it would be a little more forgiving on me than the knit and I'm a sucker for lace. But the knit one is cute too. Thanks for the chance to win! Going over there to check out the shop.
ReplyDeleteLove it all..those pictures of Italy make me want to be there like RIGHT THIS MINUTE. They look like a painting, the dresses are adorable as are the swimsuits,kind of with an a old fashioned vibe to them...beautiful. Doing a great giveaway..stop by!

ReplyDeleteThe Da Vinci for me please, size 8!
ReplyDeleteI am now a friend of Shabby Apple.
ReplyDeleteHow funny! I just did a post about Shabby Apple today, too, after buying some new shoes and thinking of dresses to go with them. I *love* their dresses.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I would go with the Spanish Steps dress: so romantic and chic! I can pictures myself in Rome in that dress, sipping a fine espresso at a sidewalk cafe.
I just liked you and Shabby Apple on Facebook. I also follow your blog. And I like the Spanish Steps dress best. It's very flirty!
ReplyDeleteDa Vinci. It just seems more versatile from work to everyday. Spanish Steps is lovely but that cream skirting would last a whole 5 minutes before I ruined it.
ReplyDeleteI love Italia!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful your blog!
Kisses,
