Oh Tracy and Team!!!! I love, love, love the sneak peek at your fall collection. (I can't wait for the catalog to see the whole collection! I'm giddy!!!) I've watched every single video (thank you, thank you!!!). What FUN!!!!
Now, I must go get pen and paper and starting making my list. ;)
Be still my heart. SO much eye candy. Jewels, clothing, jewels, shoes, capelets....what's a girl to do? I did miss the chit chat this summer BUT boy, is this worth the wait. And, Tracy, LOVED seeing the exterior shots of your gorgeous property. And, dear Sarah, were you our emcee? You all did an amazing job. The models: Robin, Tracy & gang: too gorgeous for words. I'm verklempt.
DROOLING....Want to order every single thing in the trunk show and the rest in the new catalog will no doubt be spectacular!!
Yumminess for days!! xo
Oh Tracy and team, This is going to be your best season yet!!!!! Love everything you have done. Are the home items as wonderful as the fashions are? Drooling! There is so much I NEED! LOL We have certainly missed your chatter, now we know why. Can't wait for the catalog.
Whoa!! Eye candy is right!! Cannot wait for the new catalog!! Loved the videos and the photos....still want to see more of your garden too Tracy!! Beautiful things....and saw glimpses of jewelry & clothing pieces not on the website yet....lovely! And, I believe the mystery voice is Katie...right?
The new line is beautiful and fun. I appreciate how you design or select pieces with fine details. It makes each item so unique. Your clothes are confidence builders because I've never worn one without receiving a compliment. Thank you, too, for giving several views of the garment. It really helps! I wish other retailers would do the same. Bless you!
The new fall line is beautiful!!! And the videos are great...makes me want everything! Tracy, I love your smokey eye make up in the videos. Did Katie do that? We need some more beauty and make up tips from Katie...please?...and of course the fall catalog. Can't wait!
I have to agree with my dear CC, Virgina and artist...WOWZA!!!!
Tracy, I love all the new pieces, that turquoise jacket, oh my! The turquoise ring... my heart stopped!
Thanks, as always, for the videos. You know how we love our videos! Everything looked so pretty. Can't wait for the catalog:)
All of y'alls hard works has paid off.
Wow! You are the best! We could not be more excited with all of your amazing and very thoughtful comments! thanks so much! We are really trying to create beautiful goods that you will want to own forever! It has been a very inspiring year. Our catalog has just been printed ( labor of love!)and will be coming to you in about 3 weeks. We will be creating more videos this fall.....thanks for hanging out with us.We already love what we do...but you...... You make me smile, really.

Tracy, before this season comes to an end...could we please have a video of your property and gardens? Did you plant all the boxwoods? Some of the outdoor shots just gave us a tease. Please show more.
So excited to see the fall collection! You have the most amazing goodies. Can't wait to receive the catalog!
I second artist's request!!!
Hi Tracy
Have you ever considered opening a store in San Francisco? I am certain that your concept/brand would be a great success here. I am a huge fan of yours and we have remarkably similar taste in both fashion and design. I'm a Human Resources professional here in SF and have a grand dream of opening a boutique. I work for a really hip and fun national Hotel and Restaurant Company that is based here in San Francisco. I have great contacts in commercial real estate that could help find fabulous locations in far more cost effective neighborhoods. I’m sure over head is an issue but there are so many treasures in the city in quaint, family filled, neighborhoods such as Noe Valley or around Church Street which is lined with darling, antique shops! I really identity with all that you stand for and would love to have the opportunity to talk with you about the idea!
Have a great holiday weekend!
Leslie Lerude
Hey Tracy!
Love Love Love your website and am so excited about the new fall catalogue.........You are so talented!!!
God has really blessed you, hasn't He?
Keep it coming!......<><
Hi Tracy I really love your new fall collection it is so colurfull and vibrant I love poeple who have an inspiration vision like you do.
I live in Canada and it is so difficult to have your product at a good shipping rate, so I will like to know if you have any news on that. I am sure that other customers fans of your products are in the same situation.
Maybe we can open a big warehouse of your things just near us.
Think about it...
Thank you Tracy and just the best to all of you.

Tracy, I noticed in some of the photos of your new fashions you are not wearing your wedding band. Why??????????? You had said on an earlier video that that finger was reserved for only your wedding band.
Hello loves!
Well, Leslie thanks so much for your awesome thoughts on SF ( which mind you is one of my very favorite cities!)As of now our catalog and website serve as our reach to the world , however...you never do know! i appreciate your lovely thoughts and really thanks for putting yourself out there.If you would be willing to share your info i would love the option of connecting w/ you in the future. You can call or e-mail our customer service and one of our sweet loves will get it to me....thanks!!
Luce, we can ship to Canada, unfortunately you would need to call for a quote as of now, but we would be delighted to help you in any way we can!
thanks again everyone for your kind thoughts.
If you are not on our mailing list for the catalog, e-mail or call us....it's a juicy one!
xoxo
Dearest anonymous,
It is reserved only for my wedding ring. ( in real life) but on photo shoots if we need to get two rings into a photo to save costs and be more efficient than by golly I pop that baby off and plunk it into my pocket.....I adore my husband...but I am a frugal girl when it come to saving dough during the photo shoots.
Thanks for asking, and way to be observant!

Tracy you are so cute. Very glad to hear all is well with that hubby. Keep up the good work!!!!
Tracy,
Oh my...clothes are fabulous! I have a question about fit since I am considered petite in the fashion world. Only 5ft tall. I see that most of your items start at size 4 or 6. All of you lovely models seem to have beautiful long legs. Any chance you might carry some things in petites? Like size 2?
Also...that wallpaper...oh my...must get me a bit of that! Absolutely stunning thanks for sharing!
Anxiously waiting for the catalog.
Angie
Dearest Angie!
We are working towards petites and an even wider range of sizes...we will get there! In the mean time we do have some lovely women on our team that are petites and have found that our size 4's can work. Check out our sizing charts ( as I know we are all different).I do hope you can find some goodies...I am so glad you like our clothes...thank you! Let me know what you think of the catalog when you get it....soon!!!

Hi Tracy!
Oh my, my, my!! LOVE the new fashion! I wish the new velvet pants came in different lengths, though! I'ld have to wear 6" heels to make them work and hemming that much would ruin the look:o( I'm anxiously awaiting to see the new treasures you have come up with for the home. When will these be up on you site? WHERE IS my mail lady with my new catalog?? Argh!!! Anticipation....
Tracy, please tell me you will have home decor! Please!!!!
What a BUMMER!! I was just told by Tracy's phone customer service that there will not be any new home items for fall. I was so hoping to see some of the things I've seen in the background of the fashion photos for sale on the website (like the 3-drawer chest in the red "boots" photos). It would seem the anticipation continues until possibly winter?? Maybe Tracy will give us some kind of a preview?...hoping;o).....
I am soooooooo upset over no home decor. That was the highlight of the catalog and website. Tracy, we love your home and all the items you use. It was inspiring. Why did you do this? What were you thinking? The fashions are beautiful but eliminate so many different sizes and ages. Please go back to home decor...we love that!!!!!!!!!!
Well...at least you fabulous women are passionate! We are not abandoning home ( you know it's my passion...one of them at least!)...we are in fact just continuing to grow our company...and responding to what YOU love to buy the most of! I would love us to be all things all the time...24/7 ...but alas.....in business one must not only follow the heart but also the bottom line ( you to know to stay in business and grow and stay in business.....)
never easy...but surely reality! so stay tuned and we will keep growing, and evolving and I think that home will be a part of it...we just needed to ramp up this fall with fashion as you have been really excited about it as well!
I always appreciate your honesty...I will only ever be that as well!

T.
Oh NO!! I would have bought more furniture pieces if I would have known they may be extinct in the near future! Where am I going to find beautiful unique pieces with Tracy's special golden touches?? her hand painted leather?? the gold-leafed trays?? I love the eclectic mix of sparkly, golden things! Where am I going to find these things if Tracy doesn't create them for us?? I'm keeping my fingers crossed because surely she will have to bring us some sparkly things for Christmas, right??;o)
Tracy, home decor is your roots! What are you thinking. While the fashions are beautiful,they certainly are not for everyone. You are really narrowing your market. How can we change your mind? I am in shock!
Hi Tracy, I am just getting the news of no more home decor and it makes me soooo sad. Virginia, CC, Texas Franco,Melissa, Priss and I all met here because we loved your decor. We have gone on and formed our own blog and become great friends. You brought us together and we thank you. I wish you much luck in this new fashion venture. We will miss all the decorating hints and products. Wish you would reconsider. xoxo
Tracy, just got the chance to watch your new video. May I say that I love you, love your property, furnishings, your new video, and your normal. It's so REAL!!! I love that about you. You show us the "behind the scenes" and it's all real....Something that I can relate to as a mother of three (teenagers now) but I've had them as stair steps like you have now and it's just all so real. Love, love, love it!
Alas ladies,... I am back! ;) And I have fabulous news to share with you all,... amidst my absence,.. I have weaseled my way into THIS studio... yes I am working at Tracy Porter!! And yes ladies, I miss the dinner and homeware just as much as every one of you do,... but we must applaud Tracy and the girls,...they have worked their little heinie's off!! And the fashion and accessories ladies,.. is so timeless, with all details immaculately thought out!!! I'm not lying girls,.. the quality of these pieces is outstanding,... and the way they're going to be wrapped and gift wrapped,... ooo la la ;) Happy Friday!! ;)
Tracy and Company,
I love the new video! It makes me smile about the simple things in life--makes me want to hug my daughter and kiss my husband!
Congrats Jeanna! Have fun with the TP gang. I'm sure they love you!!!
What a happy video. Who is singing the background song? And, did I see a couple of ladies with "legs up the wall?" HA! The video is so captivating. Can we ALL come to work for Tracy Porter, Inc.??? Don't you need reps here in Texas? Thanks for the peek. It was so much fun!!
P.S. Jeanna - congratulations on your new job. I've got a bit of envy flairing up!
Jeanna!!!! Can you spell....JEALOUS!?!?! That's me!!! Oh my gosh.....how I wish I had YOUR JOB!!!!! Tell us, what are you doing????? Congratulations!!!!!
PS.....Store in Texas...Houston to be exact....I'm IN!!!!! ;)
Virginia, CC, and Artist,.. thank you for your kind words!! You are all living vicariously through me ;) So Virginia, the song on the video is "World in My Arms" by Pamela Wyn Shannon off of her album "Nature's Bride." Happy Monday ladies!! ;)
Oh gosh, I normally LOVE your catalogs and it might take me an hour or more to peruse, however this latest clothing catalog was, well, not your best! The models are in such odd poses and some of their faces are so angry looking, I find myself thinking WHY instead of just enjoying the clothing and all. Perhaps a new photo stylist might convey your products better? Sorry, I am disappointed!
Pamela
I am also disappointed! The models look so angry and very untouchable. Not at all like the Tracy we know. Are they smelling something bad? That's how it looks.
Still upset over the fashion move from home decor. Tracy, I wish you nothing but the best but this is sooo not the you we know and love.
Dear Pamela,
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your constructive criticism.
Our catalogs are just now landing in homes across America and we are all bursting with joy here in the studio ( read: giddy, thrilled, out of our minds!!!). We have poured our hearts and souls into this catalog and we've designed every single item on it's pages. We are always very hopeful that "you" our fabulous customers will receive it and fall in love ...but alas, we know it doesn't always work that way,( hopefully mostly though...I am an optimist at heart!) and we do understand this as we have been humbled by business for so many years now........ we will only get better for the great criticism that each of you will offer. I always tell our team we will grow more from constructive criticism than from compliments.
Thanks you for helping us grow, I always appreciate the honesty that all of you share!
xo
T.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new catalog!
One thing though...I'd love to see more of your furniture/home decor products since they are absolutely fabulous! However, I was once again pleased to see all the fine details, not only your fantastic items but the ravishing settings and your lovely family as well! I don't believe that models have to show "happy-go-lucky" faces!
I'd love to get my hands on that "Temptress Stiletto" - such sexy shoes! I'm just so glad to have found your site and believe me, your catalog is awesome cause your products are like hidden jewels awaiting to be discovered... and I'm happy that I found you! Keep up the good work... and oh, more blog posts please cause I LOVE LOVE them!
...what "petite Angie" said! Please, please make us a size 2!
Tracy,
I love your new catalog, a true work of art! What you have done from start to finish is wonderful. You have many gifts and currently you are expressing yourself through your talent of fashion. Though we are all entitled to our opinions, I would like to share with those that know you and know your talents, that this is a time to support and celebrate your passion of creating your own fashion line. Good luck with everything! You deserve the best and I support you 100%!
Congrats,
Leslie (SF)
Tracy just received my catalog. I am not into the fashions but thought the catalog was very pretty. I especially loved the settings, always enjoy seeing your house. I hope you will consider us older gals the next line you design. Perhaps you will even add some home decor for us "house" nuts.
xoxo
Truly disappointed in the new catalog! No home decor,way too expensive, not the TP that I, we, have all fallen in love with. I have always kept the catalogs as reference books and this one, well it went into the trash... $300.00 shoes? Come on, get back to reality....
Hi! I have never done this before, so here goes. Anyways, I am brand new to Tracy Porter. I had only seen some of her dishes at Target and some on QVC. When I started snooping around and found her website, I signed up for emails and just recently purchased a few items on sale through her website. Since I too am a Wisconsin girl I am intrigued by her story. I am sad that I have never received her catalogs before this, so I have nothing to compare them too. But, I do love the philosophy of using things you have. Well, you can only purchase so many items for the home, but I would like to see more home goodies. Also, there are a lot of people who can afford the clothes Tracy offers, I am not one of them, but I am certain she has done her demographics and this is what they found to be true. I hope all goes well for this company given the new financial picture of the country. I did visit both stores in Wisconsin...it was fun fun fun. Robyn was creating a display, but I just snooped and didn't visit! Maybe another time.
I have to agree with anon of Sept. 19. In the trash!
My TP catalog is definitely NOT going in the trash. I am inspired by the fashions and there are 3 clothing items I am truly dying over right now. Your jewelry is better than ever, too! But...I agree with some of the other comments. I miss the home decor and most of the stuff is out of my price range and affordability. Don't get me wrong, your products have always been top quality and probably worth the price you ask for but I wish (like in past catalogs) there were a few lower end price range items--ideal for gift giving, and what not.
Tracy, Kate is right. There are no more gift items. Please consider this next time. I know your quality is exceptional but we do need a few things at a better price.
I am new to Tracy Porter (just received my first catalog this spring), but I have loved everything I've seen and heard so far. I purchased a few items during this last sale and have really enjoyed them. I haven't received my new catalog yet, but have viewed all I can online. I too agree that the price point seems a bit high, but alas. I would, however, like to say I would like to see more videos showing the versatility of each piece - how they can be worn differently within a season and used throughout each season with a few key changes. Maybe even show how items from past seasons work with items from the current season's collection. It would help to support the concept of building a wardrobe with Tracy Porter pieces playing a big role. Can't wait for the next sale!
Are home videos finished since you have moved to fashion? Hope not!
You have definitely caused a stir with this new catalogue! Way to keep things fresh.:) The catalogue is beautiful. You all did an amazing job! I will agree that the price points are definitely high. That limits me to only one item a season like for a Christmas gift. I love home decor and fashion, but will spend more on home decor because I tend to keep it forever. Maybe if I had finer clothing I would keep it longer as well. Indulge me with an answer to a question, Tracy and team. I am about to purchase a leather couch and would love some suggestions on what brand to purchase. I have 3 sons ages 10 to 15. This baby has to last me forever! Would love to know your opinions. Keep up the blogging I look forward to your comments and ideas too! You all are amazing and doing a great job.
Angie
The UPS man just delivered the cerulean sleeveless top. It's beautiful!
Two nice surprises-even though the buttons are tiny at the back the neck, I could easily slip them through the loops myself. And when I put a cardigan over it, my skin doesn't show. This will allow me versatility while I get those triceps in shape!
Dear Tracy,
I have followed you since you had a wallpaper collection so in my mind you are an innovative interior designer. I love your fashion sense but cannot afford them since fashion changes so quickly whereas interior design you can add quality items and it can be timeless. I will miss your quality and timeless items and probably not visit your "fashionable" site as much because it is too high end and not timeless I am sorry to say. I am too sad for words.
I have followed you for sooooo long and loved it. Where did all the fun go? Expensive clothes are no fun. Being creative and finding a bargain is!
