The Winning Dress

Today’s post is a special one because it features the winner of the Shabby Apple giveaway I held in January.

As luck would have it, I pulled the name reeltravel out of my hat. Laura, the writer behind the blog Reel Travel, happens to live in Seattle. I knew I wanted the winner to appear in her dress on this blog, but I had no idea I’d be able to pop by and be the photographer!

Laura picked the Dining Car Dress, a teal green number that complements her skin and hair so well. It’s a gorgeous shade and looks fantastic on her. The length is great–and so is the way she paired it with her Tsubo shoes.

The dress is a lightweight chiffon and has a retro vibe without feeling costume-y. It’s a piece that can dressed up for dinner but is still work-appropriate.

Congrats again Laura, and thanks for the impromptu photo shoot on your rooftop deck!

And the Shabby Apple Giveaway winner is…

Thanks to everyone who entered my Shabby Apple giveaway. I loved reading your comments and seeing your favorite pieces from the Shabby Apple website.

The contest closed tonight and I went old school. Instead of entering all the names into an online name picker, I copied them from the comments (one for each of your comments–some of you entered two or three times), and cut them into identical sized strips.

Then I put them into a hat…

I stirred the entries…

And pulled out a winner!

Congratulations to reeltravel!

And thanks to everyone who participated. This was a fun contest and I hope to have more in the future.
