Get your Designs in by 30th July to win the Dress of your dreams – Deadline extended!

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

DressCompWe’ve had some lovely entries to our “Design Your Dress and Win It”
competition but this one from Charlotte (age 5) might just be the sweetest. We love the bright floral design!

A big thank you to all of our applicants. Some of you have asked for the deadline to be extended so we’re continuing to accept entries until the 30th July. Your entry need not be a painstaking work of art. We’re looking for your ideas and inspiration, we won’t be judging your drawing skills. Send us a little sketch (as pictured). You can even just take a snap of it on your mobile and e-mail it to us.

NauticalDressIf you missed the competition details don’t worry.  Just send us your design – it can be anything you fancy, casual, elegant evening wear or even the wedding dress you’ve always wanted to create. Any fabric, any colour goes.

The Winning Designer will receive a dress made especially for them and it will become part of the State of Grace collection, named after them! All we ask is that you submit a back and front view of your design, in as much detail as you can provide along with your:

Name
Address
Email &
Contact number

Competition Deadline

Please submit your entry by email to mail@luciasilver.com by the 30th of July.

It’s A Wrap For Summer Glamour

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

The way to keep your cool (even when summer heat and travel gets the best of you) is to invest in some key pieces. Colourful wraps and jewellery are perfect for giving an average swimsuit star quality. Then work the same accessories in the evening to add some drama to your sundress. Versatile accessories can create several looks using a few classic garments – whether you’re home or away. Leaving only the problem of what to do with the extra cropjewelleryspace…

Our Ten Style Commandments

Monday, June 1st, 2009


1.    ‘Beauty is authenticity.’ Lucia Silver

There is nothing more gorgeous than a woman being natural, nor anything less attractive than one unrecognisable to herself.

2.   ‘A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.’ Maya Angelou

Do it, say it, wear it, feel it – for no other reason than because you want to.

3.    ‘Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut the b *****   up with cookies.’ Unknown

Eat and enjoy!

4.  ‘I refuse to think of them as chin hairs. I think of them as stray eyebrows.’ Janette Barber

Pamper and take care of yourself. Your body IS a temple.

5.    ‘Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission.’ Eleanor Roosevelt

A human being is a single being, unique and unrepeatable. It is therefore impossible to be inferior as there is simply no comparison.

6.    ‘Not knowing when the dawn will come, I open every door.’ Emily Dickinson, poet

Say YES to everything you can. Make time for an adventure and remember you can do nothing effectually without enthusiasm.

7.   ‘The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself.’ Lao – Tse

Be yourself. One of the most important results you can bring into the world is the you that you really want to be. The more you depend on forces outside yourself, the more you are dominated by them.

8.   ‘Be outrageous! People who achieve mastery have the ability to be outrageous.’ Gita Bellin

Be flamboyant. Be naughty. Be like a very small joyous child living gloriously in the ever present NOW without a single worry or concern about even the next moment of time.

9.    ‘There is neither good nor bad but thinking makes it so.’ Shakespeare

Witness your mind and thoughts. We are what we think and with these thoughts we make the world. Remember, the difference between a weed and a flower is simply a judgement.

10. ‘There is no heavier burden than great potential.’ Charlie Brown

Whatever it is your dream of, begin it now.
