Not Too Shabby Apple
Wednesday, February 16, 2011
Hello friends. I have some great, great news. So I was contacted by Shabby Apple the other day and this was basically the email convo:
SA: Hey, Aimee we would love to have you give one of our dresses away on your blog.
AH: Uh, yes please!!! .... But are you sure you have the right blog? I wouldn't want to get my hopes up to have them shattered into tiny blogging heart pieces all over my keyboard.
SA: Yes, we are sure.
AH: No, but are you really sure? Because I'm not like a big blogger or anything - no one sends me free stuff and I don't advertise on my sidebar or take pictures of how cool my home looks or report on all the crafty things I do or the fancy food I make and stuff like that.
SA: Yep, your blog fits in our criteria for a giveaway and we would love your readers to have a dress.
AH: Well, thank you very much and I won't ask again, Ms. Not Too Shabby Apple!
1) Your competition will be minimal - Your chances of winning here are probably the best you will ever get when trying to win something more than a cyber hug on the interwebs
2) Have you ever commented on Design Mom or Pioneer Woman? I've almost given up commenting when I see the thousands of comments I have to compete with. The Universe doesn't love me that much. Friends, the Universe loves you on this blog. One of my 10 readers will win a dress. It will happen.
3) I think the dress I picked is super cute for many body types. (Although I would love to see more Plus-Size options so everyone could be looking cute in this dress).
4) Spring is coming and I think this dress would look super cute with some yellow or red shoes with some fun earring and chunky bracelet. I heart you spring.
5) I love the flowers detail
6) It is a free dress that is normally $88. Free. Free. Free.
7) It is from their new South Pacific line and makes me want to go to Hawaii.
8) They just have dang cute dresses and you are this close to having one for yourself
So without futher ado... please meet North Shore.
Give Shabby Apple some thanks by doing the following for me: (These are NOT REQUIRED to enter my giveaway but leaving a comment is required.)

That dress is so cute and I could use a free fashion makeover! I also love your cute blog and now I want to come back and read more! -Sara
I <3 Shabby Apple. It seems like I stalk their site and just look at all the pretty dresses I wish I could look good in. Sometime (maybe soon! with your help) I'll get over my fears and insecurities and actually order one.
So fun!! Aim this is a major milestone in the blogging universe! Congrats. It's safe for me to say I don't want northshore but NEED northshore (post-bebe of course)

Love the color, love the flowers, love how flattering it is...I NEED this dress!!!
I love Shabby Apple Dresses! My whole closet would consist of their dresses if I could afford it. :o)

I love Shabby Apple Dresses! My whole closet would consist of their dresses if I could afford it. :o) (Ok I posted this same comment under my husbands google account. He is not the one who would wear the dresses...It would be me!Just thought I would clear that up. ha ha)
How FUN Aimee!! Count me in, I have drooled over Shabby Apple dresses for years, great giveaway!
I love your blog...I've gained much from your insight over the years. (wow years! lol) Would love a new dress!!!
Cute! And I have been looking for a dress for the two weddings we are going to this year. This would be perfect! Incidentally, one of the weddings is in BC in August, so we are hoping to see you and Scott and most of all CASH when we stop in Seattle on the way.
Not surprised at all that they asked you!
And please oh please choose me. This dress goes perfectly with my new plan to become stylish!
Pick me! Pick me!
Love,
Your friend

5 readers, Aim? As if. Silence has been broken are you feeling so loved? You should.
I would look hot in that dress and honestly I hadn't heard of Shabby Apple until your blog. LOVE the style, very unique - sure hoping I get to sport that dress!
Well aren't you just the coolest?
But we already knew that.
YES PLEASE!

Leave me alone girls, the dress is for Brianne...not me.
Pick me--I could never spend $80 on a dress--but would love to have one FREE!! Sadly I have turned into an only clearance/best deal ever shopper. Please pick me
Looks like you already have more than 10 comments. My odds are already decreased. :) Love your words of wisdom.
I'd love a shot at this dress!
Remember me, Aimee? I'm Brianne's friend and old companion. I just linked to your site through your comment on Stacie's blog. Sooo glad I did because I'm lovin' this giveaway! You picked a hot dress!
Hey Aimee, I've been reading your blog since being on maternity leave and love it! Especially love hearing about being a mommy because I can relate. Would love a new dress! - Lindsy Alanis
I probably shouldn't tempt fate for 2 wins in a row, but that dress looks worth it!
Go Aimee's blog!
You're big time now and I love me some shabby apple!
Gotta love giveaways and shappy apple!
Me likey the Shabby Apple and momma needs a new dress!
First of all... shut up! 38 comments! You are the next Pioneer Woman :) and second of all, give me the free dress!! If you could pick, you would pick me though, right? :)
Woah, big time Aim. Hope I win!
I love free! xoxo
In the words of this great blogger I know "No wammie, no wammie, no wammie" Pick me please!!
I was just talking about how I could use a "south Pacific" the other day! Pick Me!
Cash is darling by the way, glad you're going for best dressed west of Mississippi, I'm going for least stinky or something like that.
Um seriously Aimee? You have 43 comments before mine. So my odds of winning have significantly decreased.
I already "like" Shabby Apple. Does this mean I get an extra entry for it?
I feel like the seagulls from Finding Nemo because I want to yell "mine, mine, mine"!
Choose me! Choose me!!! I need something positive to help me fit back into my old size once baby girl arrives!
um. you and your blog are TOTALLY legit now! I LOVE to get on the shabby apple website and pick out dresses I would get if I could afford them. Until then, there's always free giveaways on totally legit, WAY awesome blogs;) love you.
ps. im not saying "love you" to brown nose. im saying it because i mean it!
Crossing my fingers, looking for stars, blowing out candles (actually, just unplugging my scentsy...open flames are a hazard) holding my breath and spinning in circles... I love that dress!!!
Aimee! (Rushie's exclamation), This is the BIG TIME. Giveaways from amazing fashion lines, that are seeking you out. No surprise though... you are a rockstar! I love the dress that you picked out. Fingers crossed it will be mine. XO
I just found your blog and love it! And this dress!

You're right... that dress would look really good on me ;) I think I need it! Pick me!!!
Aimee,
It has been a long time since we were ward buddies in Salt Lake. I will admit I am a silent reader of your blog and I love Shabby Apple... well I love window shopping and wishing I had the money to buy a dress from there. Your family is adorable. It sounds like things are going great for you. I am very happy and exicted for you and all you have accomplished!!!
From a fellow Amie!!
I am officially coming out of the closet as a reader. :) Thanks for having a contest for us! love, Christie
This is amazing. The dress is amazing. You're amazing. Winning would be ... amazing.
PS - This is amazing.
Cute. Hopefully you pick me and then when Shannon sees me in it, she will think of you. It's a total win-win.
