Shabby Apple, Truman, Mrs.Robinson, Holiday Gift Guide, Giveaway

$100 Shabby Apple GC Giveaway for this Holiday Season

by Deborah Cruz

One of my favorite things to receive as a Christmas gift and a staple on my holiday gift guide, aside from tech toys, is shoes and clothes and that is why Shabby Apple is top on my list of holiday must haves. To me, almost nothing beats the feminine silhouettes, simple charm and sophistication of vintage fashion. This is why I have several vintage inspired pieces from Shabby Apple. The quality is high and the price is reasonable.

Recently, I received two beautiful new dresses from Shabby Apple. The Mrs. Robinson and the Truman. I love their simple lines and the fact that they both can be dressed up for brisk autumn nights on the town and dressed down for casual days apple picking or shopping with your little ones.

Mrs. Robinson, giveaway, shabby apple

Mrs. Robinson is grey with white cuffs and collar. It looks very demure but the name suggests anything but. Mrs. Robinson makes me think of subtle sexiness, class and sophistication and that made it my number one choice this holiday season. It is loose yet clings to your body in all the right places.

DESCRIPTION:

  • Fitted Bodice with A-line Skirt
  • On Seam Pockets with Elbow Length Sleeves
  • Key Hole Opening at Front Neck a
  • Ponte De Roma
  • 97% Polyester 3%Spandex
  • Machine Wash Cold, Line Dry, Iron Low Heat
  • Made in the USA

Shabby Apple, Holiday Gift Guide, Giveaway, Truman

My other pick was the Truman. It is soft and lovely and, who am I kidding, the Truman makes me think of Truman Capote and all that amazing stories he wrote and that appeals to the writer in me. The Truman will transport you to a bygone era, where an author sits sipping coffee, leaving behind red lipstick like a memory while working on the next great novel. When I wear the Truman, I feel sexy, smart and interesting. Let’s be honest, I’m a mom to two little girls, I can use all the sexy, smart and interesting that I can get these days.

 

DESCRIPTION:

  • Cowl neck dress with elbow length sleeves and self tie waist
  • Available in black
  • Sleeve hits above elbow and skirt hits just above knee
  • Thick Poly/Rayon blend
  • Machine wash cold and hang to dry

These were my two choices but the choice was almost impossible to make; there are so many amazing pieces available at Shabby Apple this holiday season. I’m sure there is something that you will love for yourself.

I LOVE the second dress. This $ would have come in mighty handy a few weeks ago. I had a Benefit to go to. That’s okay. Who needs an excuse to buy pretty clothes for free? 😀 (Not I!)

Those are super cute and feisty. I think you’d have a little extra pep in your step if you wore those!

The Truman is gorgeous!

@Britt, I am in love with that damn cowl neckline. Now, I just need to find myself a good beret, some Marilyn Red Lipstick and an old timey typewriter and drink myself some scotch neat and I’d be a modern day Harper Lee…sorta but not nearly as cool but twice as funny:)

It’s a toss up between the Alice dress and the Lighthouse dress.

Reply
Deborah Cruz 2013/11/08 - 10:31 pm

I love them both but I am partial to the Alice because I have the Meant to Be which is the same dress in a different shade. So many to choose from.

Took me a while to narrow down what I liked BEST! I think I decided I like https://www.shabbyapple.com/p-2247-mellow-yellow.aspx The Mellow Yellow dress the best. It’s so bright and cheerful, unlike the blah outside my window!!

Amanda O. 2013/11/08 - 10:58 pm

OMG…I love them ALL! I seriously couldn’t pick just one. Don’t believe me? My faves are Pretty Woman, Brand New Me, Hold Me Tight, All Dolled Up, Ruby Tuesday, Eye Candy, Knave of Hearts, Animalia, 4.0, and Orient Express. Phew…I think I’m going to need more than 1 gift card! (And BTW, all the dress names reminded me of songs that could all be on the radio – don’t cha think?)

I love the Let It Snow Cardigan. It is just adorable!!

Estelle Sobel Erasmus 2013/11/08 - 11:43 pm

I love the Mrs. Robinson. It’s sexy, yet demure at the same time; a winning combination. I would wear it with high black suede boots and a black or gray cardigan sweater.

I love the Stone Haven and the Apple Cross. They’re both easy to dress up and down and they would look great with boots.
