SHABBY APPLE VINGETTES

Have all you ladies out there been to Shabby Apple's site? [ http://www.shabbyapple.com/ ] If not you are truly missing out. I have to admit that I "stalk" their website because I just love looking at their gorgeous and stylish dresses, wishing I had all of them, and grateful that they were smart and brave enough to start such an awesome business. Way to go girls!

So, growing up I didn't like to wear dresses that much (just ask my mom). But that has certainly changed; even more so having gone through the whole pregnancy thing a few times and solely wanting to be a 'good-looking' woman again. What more could a gal want than to feel feminine and look fabulous wearing a modest dress that's free from bulges due to under-layering? I've been "obsessed" with playing around with their dresses and accessaries, trying to find what outfits I love best. Well, I'm not good at decision making, but I love this elegantly simple black dress, Beauty Mark. I got so excited at all the accessorizing you can do with it, that I actualy dreamt about it last night. That is a clear sign that I need to put my ideas down. This is for a contest they are having.

Who doesn't want to go on a Mediterranean Cruise? (especially young mothers who deserve it, right?) I personally haven't ever been on a cruise, but I've been extended the possibility of going on this cruise next year, and would love, love, love to get this dress (and any one of the outfits) to make the experience a real dream! This is the inspiration to my vingettes. The best part of this is that you only have to take one dress, and then pack up all the accessories to make your visits to each port a special occasion.

So the next four posts each show a vingette for a MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE vingette package, all with the same dress. I love them all, but my favorite is this first one. (I just couldn't resist posting the others too!)

Also reccommended:

How fun would it be to sport this as you stroll around Venice, browsing at all the little shops? Fantstica!

Isn't this a stink'n cute outfit?!
