Get Grace Kelly’s Look~ A Grand Giveaway

It’s no secret that Grace Kelly had amazing style. As a confirmed dress and skirt wearer I have often encountered tedious searches to find well made feminine apparel that feature the classic lines Miss Kelly so favored.  I sat up and took notice when Shabby Apple came on the scene.

Grace often selected simple dresses for her everyday outings such as sailing…

… or playing a simple game of shuffleboard.

Casual dresses worked well when walking on deck with Oliver her poodle…

…or enjoying the sunset.

She always had sophisticated style for grand occasions such as meeting her Prince…

…to casual elegance on simple outings with children, one of which appears to be a baby on board.

The classically styled “Lighthouse” dress is flattering on all shapes. I am thrilled that one Décor To Adore reader will win it. It is from the Set Sail collection that also features such nautical niceness  as “Overboard”…

…and the striped seersucker “Above Deck” skirt

Bring out your inner Miss Kelly and grace the shore, park, or store~ perhaps even have the perfect picnic while wearing the fetching “Lighthouse” frock. This lightweight dress is made from white cotton lawn with an under-bodice of cotton voile in Grace Kelly’s favorite color~ butter yellow. You are sure to be ship shape for all your summer soirees.

  4. Laura,

    Love Shabby Apple! What a fantastic give-away. I adore Lighthouse and Toe the Line. Even if I don't win, I will have to add them to my wardrobe.

    Your Friend,
    Deborah

  5. fabulous post! love the way you compared the photos of Grace with the ones from Shabby Apple. very creative! Wonderful giveaway as well! Their dresses are so lovely! If i had to choose my fave it would be”Trade Winds” (but “ming” is giving her a run for her money!) merci for the opportunity to win!

  8. Ok, now I have to quit. Those are some gorgeous dresses. I love the lighthouse, but really, there are so many I like.

    Nobody looks as cute in a skirt as you with your tights! Just sayin'

  13. Hi Laura! I just love their clothes! I love the classic line and the overboard dress and toe the line look like fun summer dresses. The nautical swimsuit is so cute, really I could go on and on, the whole 'vintage made new' line of clothes are just perfect! Thanks for the chance! t. oxox

  14. Laura, you are so right…I LOVE this giveaway. My girls and I have been looking at their site and all of the dresses and each of the girls has a different favorite. It's a great giveaway. Lisa~

    Thanks so much for this giveaway. 🙂

  16. well, it's a hard choice ~ I love their clothing! I guess I would chose between the “Toe the Line” dress or the “Lighthouse”. Thank you for doing this giveaway!

  17. Well, I'm so glad I won't enter the giveaway as I would have a tough time by choosing just one. Well, I had to force myself to come back here after I stopped by their site.
    Amazing site I didn't know about… Thank you for sharing, Laura. :teresarunningbacktoShabbyApple:
    I can see Grace buying there. I can perfectky picture her in “Toe the line”, hat included 🙂

  19. Oooh Shabby Apple is a fab shop! I found a dress I would love to wear, the Aurelia, it is a soft white with a lovely flower at the side. I am dreaming of a necklace I could make to wear with it : )
    Thank you for the generous opportunity to win.
    Hugs,
    Terri

  31. Hey darlin! Thanks for visiting my blog…I was just tickled pink by your last Grace Kelly post that I had to tweet it.

    My fave dress from Shabby Apple (for the moment anyway) is the Fitzgerald. Honestly, I don't think the dress would really suite my thick, curvy, but it sure is beautiful on the model!

    Great giveaway! I must share this with my readers!

  32. I love the whole set sail collection! But maybe the ahoy dress or this lighthouse dress would be my favorite 🙂

  33. Oh… I love the Primavera from the Roamin Holiday collection! DARLING! Such cute dresses and so feminine. I haven't purchased one yet, but I sure am tempted! 🙂

  34. I am a huge fan of Shabby Apple! Love their amazing dresses! And their set sail line is fantastic! I love “Overboard” with the red belt! My fingers are crossed! Thanks for stopping by my blog and thanks for leading me to yours!

  35. Hi there,
    First of all, I LOVE Your blog! I adore Grace Kelly…..her name “Grace” said it all. Style, poise, grace…she had it….a real class act. You used to see her daughter in the news a lot years ago…haven't seen her in a while. Thank you for turning us on to such a great online clothing experience! I so hope I win the drawing and wish everyone good luck! If I win it, I will do a posting of me in the outfit on my blog, Bluebirds and Butterflies. I will be visiting your blog and the great clothing shop, Shabby Apple often! Have a beautiful day! xoxo Kim

  36. PS….I see SO MANY things I love on the Shabby Apple site…I am going to really go through it and will post my favorite tomorrow! Looking forward to viewing each and every outfit! xoxo Kim

  39. Grace Kelley is my all time very very very favorite celebrity. She just sparkles! Her timeless beauty and “graceful” demeanors sets her in a class only with the likes of Audrey Hepburn! Beautiful expose' on this darling princess! Love the classic styles of Grace's clothing. It is such a reflection of who she is.

  43. Une très jolie publication… J'adore la petite robe avec le noeud et aussi celle plus loin avec le vichy….
    Grâce Kelly était vraiment une très belle et distinguée personne.

  46. Okay, so I suppose since they make huge women's sizes I can try this contest. I like the PENELOPE AND ODYSSEUS dress in black/bronzite.

    Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

    Hugs,
    Meri

  47. Hello Laura! 🙂 I think I would pick either overboard or fresh pearl (I think that's what it was called) It was so summery!
    Thanks for your comment on my dresser renovation…I just LOVE it! 🙂
    Hugs

  51. Hi Laura, thanks for visiting. I have always loved grace Kelly, she had great style and poise.I love the Shabby Apple line. I really like Spanish Steps, Cleo and Anthony, and Mary Jane Watson.

  56. Hi Laura,
    Thanks for visiting my blog and inviting me over. I am a follower of Metis Linens. Although I'm more of a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl, when I do dress up, it is usually in classic black. I love Antiquated.

  57. I am a big fan
    of Shabby Apple;
    love their story!
    The DaVinci dress
    is a really versatile
    one for bopping
    around town. Also
    love the sweet Above
    Deck skirt! Thanks
    for the chance to
    win one of their
    yummy dresses!
    xx Suzanne

  59. I am in love with Shabby Apple. I love their clothes. Gorgeous.

    I like all their designs, but I went in and looked specifically for pear shape. Just love their designs. It's really hard to choose a favorite. And then I discovered they had children's clothes. What a great company. Awesome. I like the dress you are giving away and I hope to win.

    I think the red checked dress is great, too.

  62. I love the post and the vintage photos! My favorite dress from Shabby Apple would have to be Trade Winds ~ it would be perfect for Summer. I love finding cute, feminine, and comfortable dresses!

  63. LOVE the toe the line dress. And I've been loving all your royal Wednesday posts, too. Thanks, Laura!

  64. I am loving the posts about Grace Kelly! Her name really says it all, doesn't it? I adore the Lighthouse and the Ahoy dresses. I currently wouldn't fit in either one very well, but as I'm losing weight, I'm thinking positively! Thank you for the opportunity to even try to win one of these beauties!

  65. I'm excited! What beautiful clothing and a company that gives to charities, too. I liked Liz and Darcy in Smoky Quartz-what wonderful names! Sharon

  67. I enjoyed this post immensely. I love everything Grace Kelly. I do not get the same “warm/fuzzy” feeling when I think of her “randy” son however!

  71. I love the one you're giving away… but if I bought one, it would be the tantilzingly-named “Fork Tailed Devil” silk dress:

    http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-902-fork-tailed-devil.aspx

    It looks like one of those dresses you would wear and love for years and never get tired of- actually, both that dress and the Lighthouse dress would fit that description!

    And I'm definitely a skirt/dress wearer, especially during the summer; they are SO much cooler here in South Carolina!

  72. Grace Kelley. What a gorgeous woman. What style. I'm not a dress/skirt wearer, but I WANT to be. I love the Shabby Apple dresses. I prefer their shirt dresses (as I think this would be a good way to ease into dresses). The Overboard, Toe the Line and Madison Ave are my favorites. BTW, 'technically' I'm a US Resident (I reside on what is considered US soil) and I have a US address! Sign me up!
