Good morning! As you read this I am on my way to O’Hare to catch a flight to my parent’s house. Though I didn’t grow up outside Philly where they live now, I do enjoy the time that I spend in their new home. I also get to spend lots of time with my youngest brother, Mike, who is staying with them for the summer in between his sophomore and junior year of college. Besides relaxing, J.Crew outlet shopping, and a jewelry party for the neighborhood, I might also get a chance to visit the family boat which is currently on the Chesapeake Bay.
And as you know, on Sunday I will be headed to NYC for a “PR tour,” if you will. In honor of the desk sides I will be doing with editors at Lucky and Real Simple among others, I’ve got an awesome giveaway which would be perfect for a PR tour of your own…
Shabby Apple Giveaway
The Ingrid Dress over at Shabby Apple is pretty much perfection when I think about what I’d like to wear to a desk side. It’s classic with the black and white, but the ruffles add a nice twist. It’s also cool enough to wear while running in between offices in the middle of July. And coming in at $94, it is inexpensive enough for a splurge, but also an amazing item to win in a giveaway like this.
To enter to win the dress, please comment about your favorite dress on Shabby Apple before July 21st. A winner will be randomly selected and announced next week. US residents only, please.
(Please be patient with the comment uploading today, I will be traveling without internet for most of the day. So most new comments will appear this evening.)

So many cute dresses! I love the Tuileries dress.

I think the Storm dress would really flatter my body type, but I really love the L’Opera dress as well! It would be great to wear to late summer weddings!

There are a TON of Shabby Apple dresses that I absolutely adore. But, my all-time favorite is the Fifth Ave. dress.
July 14th, 2010 at 8:48 am
Wow…I love this dress (and most of the Shabby Apple dresses) but my favorite is the Rendezvous. It can be dressed up/down in many different ways.
July 14th, 2010 at 8:51 am
I would definitely have to agree with the Ingrid dress. I need something to jazz up my work day!

There are so many amazing dresses it was hard to just pick one. But I think I have to say the Bonheur is one of my top favs. I don’t have anything like it and it looks like a beautiful dress that can be dressed up for work or special occasion and dressed casual for the movies. shopping. hanging out with friends! I am in love!
July 14th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
I heart the Bonheur – Cape Cop white wrap dress with pockets on bust and tie waist. The dress is lovely and very fitting for hot summer days.”

While I was originally drawn to the La Soleil dress for its color, I think my favorite is the Daisy dress. Crisp and delicate and beautiful, with lots of room for accessorizing. Perfect for summer!
