shabby apple giveaway!

"I think what we're buying with these boats is space,
nothingness, emptiness... huge sweeps of open water...
and sweeps of time with nothing to do..."
-Robert M. Pirsig, Lila

I can't imagine a much better summer afternoon than one spent lounging on a sailboat in a breezy cotton sundress... can you? Didn't think so. I'm so, so excited to be able to make at least part of that daydream a reality for one of you lucky ladies out there, thanks to Shabby Apple! I love the distinctly vintage feel of Shabby Apple's women's dresses, and this lovely Lighthouse dress is no exception. The classic shape in crisp white cotton is simply stunning, and I just can't say no to a bow! This pretty little frock can be yours, just in time for the summer season.

Enter to Win the Lighthouse Dress:

-Leave your name and contact information in the comments, and (just for fun) where you would wear your Shabby Apple dress (dream big, people!)

-US residents only (so sorry to my foreign friends!), but for those who don't win/can't enter, Shabby Apple is offering 10% off (coupon code: wakinglife10off), valid for thirty days. Just click the link on my sidebar! They have so many amazing dresses to choose from :)

-Giveaway closes at 12 midnight EST on Wednesday, June 1st!

    The dress is adorable - I'd love to wear it to a pirate cruise we're going on this summer in CT...don't you think an eye patch would just make the outfit? he-he.

    I've also "liked" Shabby Apple on FB.

    I love your blog - very inspirational to see a fashion blogger who shops on a budget and makes it look unique and fabulous.

    Fingers crossed!
