Tracy Porter Blog… be inspired!

The little black…dress…shirt dress…..sparkler…well, I love anything “black”, especially when I can play around with its highs and lows! This gorgeous gem of a piece, our Last Look Sleeveless Shirt Dress is artfully inspired by ballet and rocker chic…ahhh the poetics of beauty! Check out our video…I share my tips for fashion highs and lows…ways to wear this gem….you know I adore my black leggings (comfort meets fabulous). Try a tall boot or a low boot next time you are playing in your wardrobe…either one can work beautifully, we girls do love our options!! Never forget the layers…when wearing this beauty consider throwing on a sweater or a cool little blazer …that can easily slip off…should you want to dazzle a wee bit more! There is a simple elegance to black…..come now my loves explore it with me!!!


Cheers and Luscious Noir dreaming!

I suppose what I call a “basic” may differ than most. Even basic fashion needs to make me feel special! So I try to create goods that have their little twists….! You know, a bit of simple beading, a really luxurious fabric, and sumptuous ribbon belt. I then like to take my essentials and play around. What goes with what, what feels right, what makes me smile…or in this case what makes YOU smile! Check our new fashion video filled with wardrobe tips + ideas..…things to make you go hmm!


Cheers and Happiness!

You know, I love a good red lip…..well, I should clarify….a luscious “blue red” lip. I am all about color (it’s what I do) and the most spot-on red lip to wear this holiday seems to be from YSL. I have certain needs when it comes to lip therapy (I am a junkie)…..No joke, if I have forgotten my lipstick, chapstick, or something to keep my lips perfectly moist…I will take a tiny dab of butter or olive oil right from the table and go with that…(and you think I am kidding…remember I am a farm girl so this is nothing!) This one feeds my needs! The name doesn’t hurt….Rouge Volupte Red Taboo # 18…………You’ll love how creamy this is…and SPF 15..bonus! A darling golden tube (I am a sucker for packaging you know)…a wee mirror on the tip….does it get any better?!!!


Check it out!!! ……ROUGE VOLUPTE ….RED TABOO #18……purrrrr!!!!

A few thoughts when donning this succulent red lip….

* You’ll look vintage and modern at once with a sassy red lip….about the best eclectic vibe out there my loves!
* Tone down your eyes….and not too much cheek, we are going for elegant cool…(think Cate Blanchett…not Jessica Rabbit)
* When I wear a BIG red lipstick like this I always dab foundation along the edge of my lips, it will keep the goods where they belong
* Watch your teeth girls…..no one wants to look like their teeth are bleeding…..
* This is a good time to use a lip brush…steady with the hand, same with the liner…keep it inside the lip….
* I prefer a nude nail with a big red lip….you know, highs and lows…..works in all walks of life!

Cheers + Love!!

My fellow Anglophile’s…..we can celebrate the release of another ROYAL gem quite soon! I am sitting with bated breath…as you know my love of the Royals! (well you do now) If you have not heard of this movie “The Young Victoria“….then raise your glass with me and let’s do a cheer! Looks like a luscious view of the young Queen Victoria and the love of her life Albert. I am sharing two links with you, check them both out as they are quite succulent in their own ways…..makes me want to get out the hammer and nails and start slammin’ more stuff onto my London wall! Apparently she is hopping over the pond and into our theaters about December 18th! Perfect timing for me to grab my beau…go have a cocktail and then some popcorn and nachos at the theater!! So…will you go…is this for you!!? Grab some inspiration from the amazing rooms, costumes…and gardens….!


Cheers + Love!

Our cowboys come to the studio after school. They hang out, eat all my Oreo cookies (note “my”)…and dust cocoa powder about the kitchen while making their hot chocolate. Do homework, read…then get squirrely and start in on the staircase…..and me having eyes all around my head…..well naturally I caught them in the act…just as we were about to leave for home!

I know this video has been a long time coming for a lot of you! So grab your cup of tea & get comfortable… in your luscious leggings!
