Wedding shoes have been chosen!

So I didn't think too hard about the designer label for my wedding shoes.

I figure most brides would choose Christian, Jimmy or Manolo... All whom I love... but I know just a titch more about fashion than most brides.

I didn't want super unique, something blue... or really anything I'd only wear once.

I wanted a pair of shoes that will go with my sari, my Sue Wong dress (see post below) and my lehenga.

Louis Vuitton has an amazing pair of sandals called the Saint Honore in Damier Canvas. They're super cute with the damier dice... and with a whopping price of $995, you better believe I'd wear them and vacuum store them for a lifetime.

Unfortunately, they didn't have a pair available in my size. And in order to get it, I would have to buy it first and then decide if I want to keep them.

So I said forget it and went with a designer I have grown to love, not only for his talent, but also for his orange skin.

And for $300 less, I got these cutie pie shoes that will go with anything and everything and be in fashion for life!

Thank you Valentino!

Get stylishly organized with a Rubbermaid Bento™ Boxes Giveaway! *CLOSED*

*WINNER is Renee!*

I'd like to think I'm organized in my mess.

If you ask me where my stapler is, I'd reply that it is under the bed by the right corner near the window under a magazine.

See? organized.

My fiance is the total opposite, and has been trying to be "good influence" for me. 

When I received the Rubbermaid Bento boxes and toppers, my fiance was excited to organize my stuff.

And I was more than happy to supervise.

First, we agreed that these boxes were fantastic. They're sturdy and stylish. The Flex dividers on the inside are perfect for further organizing smaller items. We took the smallest square box and organized my writing utensils on my desk. 

The rectangular small box fit perfectly under my bed, so we turned it into my new medicine/first aid kit to store those items!

The larger boxes were great for storing some books that I love, but couldn't fit on my tiny shelf.  I stacked the boxes and put them next to my couch to use as a side table.

Admittedly I was a little nervous that these boxes would add to my already existing clutter in a very tiny apartment. While one box does act an extra piece of furniture, the overall ability to store things has been an improvement.

And the gorgeous Paprika red fabric adds a nice decorative touch.

I am so excited to now offer one of you the chance to win a set of Rubbermaid  Bento boxes! You can get organized, encourage someone else to get organized, use the boxes as gift boxes, whatever you'd like!




Rubbermaid has generously offered to give a set of boxes to one of my lucky blog readers! **Color is subject to availability, but I will tell them your preference.

Save at Shabby Apple!

I am obsessed with the Madison Ave dress.

Doesn't it remind you of Mad Men? I would love to look like one of those amazing women on the show, and I think this dress would do the trick!

The houndstooth print is classic. I love the wide collar. The side buttons make it a little more modern. I love it!

Here's a gift code to get 10% off and free shipping this October!
