When the nice folks over at Shabby Apple contacted me about doing a giveaway, I was more than happy to oblige.

And given that I've been struggling to put sentences together these past few weeks, I'll thankfully be able to spare you the annoying and slightly less fun blog post called ''Wherein A Blank Open Office Screen Stares Me In The Face And Laughs At My Incapacity To Be Witty''.

So yeah, Shabby Apple.

Ever heard of it?

Well, it's an online retailer that sells pretty things like this

And this

(Not sexy women and cute little girls...the clothes)

 And also this.

So today, Shabby Apple would like to give away a $50 gift card to one lucky reader!

Here's what you have to do.

1. ''Like'' the Shabby Apple site on Facebook (click HERE)

2. Visit their website (here) and leave a comment on this blog post telling me what your favorite product was or what you would most probably buy with the gift card.

Contest is for US residents only (Canadians, I owe you one!)

The winner (who will be picked randomly) will be announced here on Friday, August 17^th. He/She will also receive an e-mail so make sure and leave a legit e-mail.

For all the other folks who are still winners at heart (just not of $50) you'll get 10% off of a purchase at Shabby Apple for a month! Just use the coupon code Nicochic10off when you check out.

Ok, good luck and happy shopping!
