Shabby Apple GIVEAWAY!

We all know that what’s on the inside matters most. But there’s no denying that the entire package matters, and the way in which something is dressed up and presented to the world makes a big impact. This is why I’ve been putting a lot more effort into my photography lately. Sure, I know that the food I share with you taste awesome, and I believe that great recipes are the number one most important element of a successful food blog. But photographs come in a very close second. People are a lot more likely to try out recipes which are accompanied by beautiful, well thought-out photos that highlight the food’s best features than ones which do nothing to capture it’s particular textures and flavors. And, great photos will often keep readers coming back for more.

It’s fitting that Shabby Apple got in touch with me while I’ve been thinking so much about the importance of appearances and how to flatter my food, so to speak. Shabby Apple, if you haven’t heard, is an online retailer of women’s apparel. I’ve admired their pieces many a time, so I was pretty thrilled that they found me too.

What makes Shabby Apple so unique is that their pieces represent a return to the original concept of a dress: a one-piece outfit that can be worn comfortably in any situation without the need for cardigans on top or camisoles underneath to make them “more appropriate.” I don’t know about you, but as a twenty-something I find it a challenge for find a dress that fits well and looks just right whether it’s being worn out at a trendy restaurant or to a religious service, for example. Shabby Apple women’s dresses, combining classic cuts with fresh, young designs, truly fit the bill. If you still need another reason to like them, consider this: Shabby Apple is not only committed to helping women dress better, they want all women to have the opportunity to live better as well. Five percent of all sales are donated to Unitus, a non-profit organization which provides access to financial services for women at the bottom of the economic chain in India. Thanks to support from Shabby Apple customers, these women and their children have a wonderful opportunity to better their lives.

In another act of generosity, Shabby Apple is going to give one of my readers a free dress. This marks my first non-food- or cooking-related giveaway, and I’m happy that it’s with a company that’s doing great things for women everywhere. If you’re the lucky lady, you get to choose one of the four dresses shown below. How cool is that? The only catch to be aware of is that I might just come knocking on your door to raid your closet. You see, I’m going to be personally jealous of the winner because these dresses were chosen by yours truly. Obviously, I chose the ones I’d most like to wear – and I hope you will like them too!

On to the dresses…

Dress number one, pictured below, is the Sierra Nevada I’m most drawn to its cascading ruffly top, waist-defining ribbon, universally flattering jewel tone. I also love that it can be dressed up with a flirty headband and pumps, or worn casually with a pair of boots.

Next is Cotton Candy. The print is bold and girly, but tastefully broken up with the wide waistband. Any day in this dress is automatically going to be a fun one.

The Ingrid dress, with its black sateen pencil skirt and frilly white top is a must-have for any fashionista. This dress feels sophisticated and safe enough to stand in for a 9-5 suit, but would move effortlessly into whatever after-hours activities await.

Finally, I can’t resist the Bali Ha’i’. First of all, anyone who knows me will see right away that it’s “my color.” Secondly, I love its softly scooping neckline with a row of ruffles extending all the way around. Form-fitting but with flattering seams, this is dress would be a definite head-turner.

See something you like? Here’s how you can make it yours: “Like” Shabby Apple on Facebook, and leave a comment here letting me know that you did.

For a few more entries, do any or all of the following, and leave a comment about each one.

Tell your Facebook friends about this giveaway, with a link to this post (hint: the share buttons below make this a cinch!)
Critique one of my photos. Yes, really! I told you I’ve been trying hard, so take a minute to browse around my recent posts and tell me about a photo you like, or one that you have a specific idea about how it could have been done better. (I realize I’m taking a big chance here, but I’m hoping I’ll receive more constructive criticism than internet bullying!)

The contest will close on Sunday, March 6th at 11:59pm, and I’ll choose a random winner on Monday.

Not feeling so lucky? Good news, there’s something for the rest of us too. Any of my readers can use the coupon code carascravings10off at checkout to receive 10% off your purchase!

    Hmm, your pictures are all lovely, so I really can't offer much.

The picture at the top of that post has a really cool napkin with some bright colors, to balance the basically black and white of the cookie and plate.

    I think you take really amazing photos, as the food always looks so good! My least favorite recently was Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies. I think the issue is that sometimes your photos seem too cluttered. But as I said, they are really awesome, it is just a small thing.

    I think your pictures are good, with nice lighting. In photo classes that I have taken, we are warned not to place objects in the center of the photo. They are less appealing that way. A lot of yours are centered, but one that isn't centered, that is nice, was the picture for Gingerly eggplant and edemame stew.

    I really like the photos you took of the Amazingly Creamy Pumpkin Penne.The close up one makes me want to eat it, it looks so good and the cottage cheese looks full of texture. I like the photo you took from up above, definitely looks more interesting to see it at that angle.

    Hi there, I'm critiquing the photos at http://carascravings.blogspot.com/2011/02/fennel-rutabaga-and-white-bean-hash.html. I noticed that you like colorful photos. I'd think about where you want to focus the color. For example, the food is colorful, so I'd go for a bare background to provide contrast. The second photo is the best of the bunch. In the first and third photos, the color gets "lost" because a lot's going on in the background. Also, since they're similar, I think you only need the first or third photo, not both.

    My favorite aspect of your photos is the background – or maybe the setting. You get the food but you also get the real setting…the napkins, wooden spoons, cloth napkins, etc.

    Hmm, your pictures are all lovely, so I really can't offer much. I guess the best I can give is that the focus seems off on this (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KITf0GCt46g/TVU5EXPhkII/AAAAAAAACX4/wLBwq2Rmxv4/s400/DSC_0815.JPG) picture and that it's a little plain. The picture at the top of that post has a really cool napkin with some bright colors, to balance the basically black and white of the cookie and plate.

    I think your pictures are good, with nice lighting. In photo classes that I have taken, we are warned not to place objects in the center of the photo. They are less appealing that way. A lot of yours are centered, but one that isn't centered, that is nice, was the picture for Gingerly eggplant and edemame stew.
