Shabby Apple = Gorgeous Dresses and Accessories

I just stumbled across this website and I’m loving it.

Shabby Apple sells clothing and accessories for women. They offer many different styles of feminine dresses, skirts, blouses, unique watches and eye catching jewelry. They have things for the home, maternity dresses, kid’s clothes and the most amazing swimsuits. All of the clothing is designed with modesty in mind (no cleavage or supershort hemlines) for real women rather than supermodels.

They even have a program for Emerging Designers in which they will take on small collections from start-up designers and give them a place to sell their line.

One of my favorite things about Shabby Apple is their desire to help women in need. Check out this from their website:

For many women in the developing world, life is a constant struggle against poverty and hardship. Limited economic opportunity leads to a downward cycle of malnutrition, illiteracy and poor health – a cycle that traps each new generation. Through access to microfinance – financial services such as microcredit loans, insurance, savings and other products – women can overcome poverty and provide a better life for their children.

We at Shabby Apple love to help women dress but are also commited to helping women live as well.  Thus we are supporting the fight against global poverty by partnering with Accion-a non-profit organization with the mission of giving people the financial tools they need to work their way out of poverty. Shabby Apple donates 5% of its net sales to support work with 62 microfinance institutions in 31 countries throughout the world.

With every dress you buy from Shabby Apple, you are helping make a difference in the lives of Women Worldwide.

I think that’s just dandy. 🙂

I’ve been obsessively looking through their website for over an hour and fantisizing about all the stuff I’m going to buy. Here are some of my favorites.

Elizabeth Islands Dress

Make-up trend: Liquid Eyeliner

Is she gorgeous or what?!?

I love love love that Adele has made the thick winged liquid liner popular again. Remember these beauties?

Elizabeth Taylor

Brigitte Bardot

Twiggy

Sophia Loren

Barbra Streisand

Who wouldn’t want to look like any one of these gorgeous gals? I’ve been playing around with liquid eyeliner a little too and I love it. I’ve always been very low maintenance in the make-up department but I still like to feel pretty and when I have liner on like this I just feel so much more feminine. It’s definitely not an everyday look but every now and then I’ll do this before I run errands and its kind of fun 🙂

Here is a few of the different ways to wear it via Glam Fiend. Neat! I’ve recently been doing the “so thik” version but I think I’ll branch out and try some of these others….now I just need an occasion where “Lady Gaga” would be appropriate!

 

Here is a peek at a how I did mine on Mother’s day
