Sheep Meadow

I was recently contacted by the kind people at Shabby Apple to review one of their dresses on my blog. Have you visited Shabby Apple lately? I'm convinced that their online boutique has the loveliest selection of women's dresses available all in one quick and easy shopping destination.


For my review, I selected the Sheep Meadow dress from the Central Park collection. Isn't the name utterly adorable? While browsing through the site, I was instantly drawn to the playful combination of white and kelly green stripes. That in itself would have been good enough for me, but throw in some subtle pleating, airy cap sleeves, and a navy blue sash and I went from merely interested to absolutely smitten!

I felt very ladylike as soon as I put the dress on. I think the full circle skirt had some kind of effect on me because all sorts of good ideas for wearing this dress began swirling through my head. An outdoor tea party! Running through a field with a butterfly net! Reading poetry in the grass!

Oh, it looks so good on you! I had eyed that one myself, I shouldn't have let the boy talk me out of it. I love that you are reading Keats on the grass. It is a very poetic look.

Oh, you look so charming! They really have such adorable clothes there. I was hoping they'd have me review one of their maternity dresses! Ha!

Hi Emily. Thanks for your comments on my blog. I have missed you and your blog and hopefully I will have more time to catch up with everything this week. It must have been so fun to review a dress and especially one as beautiful as this. I love the pattern, the style and the bow at the back and it suits you perfectly. I must check out their website. Also, thanks for your advice on my blog recently. I have been following what a lot of my blogger friends have said and I think I am making some progress in the right direction.

Ooh! Your pictures turned out so pretty. I think you made a fine shoe selection, though the others you were considering looked pretty as well. :) I love your photos and the reading Keats in the grass! Ahh! So lovey. This dress would be perfect for Central Park! ^_^

Hi again Emily! Thank you for visiting my blog and all your lovely comments, especially with regards to my grandmother. I was certainly glad to spend my time reminiscing in the area I'll always identify with her!

It seems like you and I have plenty in common, besides our name! The colour green, Yorkshire tea, reading poetry in the grass. My favourite Romantic poet is Shelley, (I think because at 17 I was quite attracted to the mad-looking portrait that appeared in my lit. text) but Keats of course is wonderful as well.

I'm looking forward to reading your future posts as well, and am following you, now that I've figured all this stuff out!
