School Shopping - Shabby Apple Giveaway

My husband is headed back to work today.  He's a professor and enjoys the boons of an academic schedule.  So this is his first day of school! Every year, my mom would take me school shopping the week or so before school started.  I loved it!  I always felt like it was my chance to reinvent a little bit of myself.  Even as a kid I knew the transformative power of a new dress or a new pair of shoes.  
I'm so excited to announce that Shabby Apple is giving one La Maison Boheme reader a 

$75 gift card!


Shabby Apple is also giving ALL La Maison Boheme readers a 10% discount when you purchase something from their online shop! Use the code "lamaison10off" when you check out.  Now you can do a little school shopping too!  Here are some of my favorite things from Shabby Apple this season:




I also really like the Shabby Apple fitness line.
