Rory Beca for Forever 21
I have been trying to limit the amount of shopping I do at Forever 21 because, let's face it, the clothes are pretty much disposable. I am willing to break my Forever 21 ban for this new collaboration with Rory Beca. This resort collection is calling my name with its dreamy palette and water color prints. That asymmetrical dress hem is actually growing on me and the sheer panels are sweet and sexy.

Giveaway! Shabby Apple Dresses
I'm so excited about today's post. This is the first sponsored giveaway for Design Evolution. I've been approached several times in the past but the products never seemed to be a good fit for the blog. I was contacted by Shabby Apple, an online shop for women's dresses, skirts, and accessories, and asked if I would be interested in a giveaway where one of my readers could win a dress selected by me. After five minutes of checking out the Shabby Apple site I said yes!
With interesting collection names like Mad Hatter, Set Sail, Roman Holiday, and Academia I couldn't resist the vintage dress silhouettes. The dress shapes look like they are flattering for many different body types. I've really been a slacker about getting dressed up more often so this giveaway has also inspired me to pick up a few dresses for myself. Here are some of my favorites:
Besides a large collection of vintage inspired dresses, Shabby Apple has carries a bunch of great skirt silhouettes. I am anti-shorts so come summer I wear skirts often.
Without further ado, the giveaway! One reader will win the Spanish Steps dress pictured in the dress collage above. It is the cream and tan dress modeled next to that adorable red vintage Vespa. All you have to do to win the dress is visit Shabby Apple's Facebook page here and "Like" them. Make sure to leave me a comment letting me know that you've done so. The contest will be open from now until Monday, March 5th at 12pm. I will choose one winner at random. The contest is only open to U.S. residents.
And as an added bonus, Shabby Apple is offering all of you a 20% discount code so you can shop to your hearts delight. Enter designevo20off at checkout to receive the discount. Coupon is valid for 30 days.

EmersonMade - A Hand Made Purchase
EmersonMade is a hand made business that many of you are probably familiar with. They get lots of blog love and I've admired their creations for some time. The website is enchanting and Emerson, the business owner, is the most adorable model of her hand made accessories. EmersonMade creates hand dyed and hand stitched blooms and accessories. Each bloom they build is one of a kind, varied, and has its own unique character and soul – your flower soulmate! just for you (words from EmersonMade isn't that sweet?).
After much admiring I finally have the perfect event to wear one of their creations. I wanted to share this purchase with you because I know we all do a lot of online window shopping and it's often tough tell what the product is going to be like when it's in your hands. So here is my honest opinion folks - I am absolutely in LOVE! I ordered the 3" Wild Rose Clip in Sunday White, it is the most perfect crisp white linen with a yellow felt center. The hair clip is tremendously grippy and you can tell it will stay put. You are probably going to think this so weird but my favorite thing about my purchase is the box it came in. It's gorgeous and I'm never getting rid of it.
New to EmersonMade is the E.M. Clothing Line and it is chock full of beautifully tailored pieces. Now that I know my very own hand made bloom I can add a few items from the clothing line to my wish list. A few items, who am I kidding, I want every single piece!

Delightful Deal Alert - Old Navy Ballet Flats
One of the ultimate wardrobe staples, regardless or the season, is the ballet flat. The Old Navy version is so affordable you can pick up one in every color.
I only wish they also came in printed canvas. They would be the perfect substitute for the J Crew I've been admiring.
