As promised, I'm announcing the winner of the Shabby Apple contest tonight. Congratulations go to the lovely lady pictured below, Sarah Louise! I picked the winner the old school way-- wrote out everyone's entries on tiny scraps of paper and put it into a HAT and closed my eyes to draw out the winner. It's funny that Sarah Louise won as she's a fellow Chicago vintage blogger!Here's what she said about her above outfit:

"Ohhh, so hard to pick, and this is a new favourite, but I'm gonna have to go with my birthday dress.

It's so unique, fits like a glove, and is in my favourite colour when I was a kid. I'm also a sucker for anything with white and light blue stripes."Sarah Louise has a fun blog dedicated to her vintage adventures: Tzipporit. She also runs 2 etsy shops: Branchbound for her homemade earrings & hair adornments and Slubird, her vintage clothing/accessories shop.

Check back soon to see how Sarah Louise styled the Shabby Apple dress and an interview with her! I'll also be posting some of the outfit photos I received from all of you as part of the contest.
