not so shabby

so my oldest friend, h, (oldest as in we've been friends since second grade not like she's decrepit or anything), sent me the link to www.shabbyapple.com, which she discovered through her groupon. and quite frankly, birds, i love it. we'll get to the clothes later but first let's discuss the site and company.

first, i must say that the site is adorable; it takes the time to add the little flourishes that will eventually make me a devotee. also, they have plus size, maternity, and pre-teen lines in addition to their general women's wear which means you can multi-shop the site as your body, or the bodies of those around you, change. third, they donate to a women's charity that helps make third world women financially viable. awesome. fourth, fifth, and sixth pluses are that each dress falls under a category (central park, 1934, paris), comes with an adorable name (aspen, la tour eiffel, liz and darcy...the one i am now lusting after), and they each...wait for it literary birds...come with a hand written story about the mood and moment and lighting and glamour in the air. it is like literary fashion porn. and i think i have an addiction.

however, i have yet to find a size chart that does not come in the form of a fashion quiz and the site takes an interminably long time to load. and yet, i am willing to forgive them bc their price point is super reasonable ($50-130 as far as I saw) and they gave us this free widget for our blog:
