The kind folks at Shabby Apple asked whether I'd like to host a giveaway here for one of their beautiful vintage-inspired dresses, and while I don't usually go in for product endorsement (unless I genuinely find it myself) I couldn't resist this one. The winner of the giveaway will be sent the dress of her choice, you can have a look here to see what you'd like should you be the winner. The dress will be shipped anywhere in the world.

The reasons why I like Shabby Apple as a company: they donate a percentage of their profits to women's charities, they have a great training/intern programme, they have an 'especially for redheads' section, support up-and-coming designers, have good maternity dresses on offer and sweet international-inspired clothing (like this Pacific range, for example.) They also offer a 'practically perfect' sale whereby you can buy amazing garments at a much reduced price if you're prepared to sew on a button or fix a small hole somewhere (good for crafty types, don't you think?)

Shabby Apple are also offering all my readers a 20% off coupon – just add the code 'tinyhappy20off' at checkout and your discount will be applied. This is good for 30 days.

To enter the giveaway, you need to 'like' the Shabby Apple facebook page, and leave a comment here to confirm. You could also tell me which dress you would choose, if you'd like to. I will leave the giveaway open for a week and draw a winner randomly next Friday. Good luck and have a happy weekend!

    Dear Melissa,
    I’ve been following your blog since 2009, when I was living in India and you were living in Europe. But I’m more of a lurker, I guess. Using this “giveaway” excuse to come out and let you know that I love the tone and pace of your blogs. They offer me a sense of peace and quiet in the midst of busy, chaotic workdays. Do keep the motor running.
    Cheers,
    Maureen

    Oh I’ve been lost on their site before! Got lost there just now again 🙂 I’ve liked their Facebook page. I can’t actually choose just one at the moment but I think it’d be something from the Academia or Roamin Holiday. Seriously, too much choice can be a bad thing sometimes! Thanks for the chance at one of their lovely dresses.

    I think the dress rightfully called “DRESSAGE” would be a nice classic and feminine piece to add to any wardrobe.
