Joe Knows

in category of Fashion, Tracey Vest

I love clothes and keeping up with the latest fashions, but I will always have a weak spot for the simple outfit of a cool pair of jeans and a tee shirt. Normally, my heart belongs to Levis and Hanes, and a few other brands that have been around for a while, but lately I have been contemplating broadening my horizons. One brand in particular has gotten my attention: Joe’s Jeans.Read More »

Get the Holiday Blues

in category of Fashion, Tracey Vest

Jeans have taken a bit of a backseat during the holidays, but they are still one of this year’s hottest trends. They have crossed over all seasons and will be taking us right into the New Year. Blue jeans and denim fabric have come a long way over the years; they both go to work, out at night on dates, and often to some special occasions. It may be considered a fashion faux pas to some, but I am glad they can also now be considered an option when you’re putting together outfits for the holidays.Read More »

One Singular Sensation

in category of Fashion, Tracey Vest

The economy has transformed even the most fabulously hardcore fashionistas into frugalistas. I don’t know who came up with it, but frugalista really does sound much more glamorous than bargain hunter. These days a shopping spree can actually mean purchasing only one item. It does make things more challenging since we are supposed to be buying gifts right now, but if the item is a showstopper, or singular sensation, you only need one or two to create a few fabulous holiday outfits.Read More »

Lose Your Shirt

in category of Fashion, Tracey Vest

Most fashionistas like to think we are pretty creative and can come up with fabulous fashion ideas and outfits on our own…but I also think a good fashionista isn’t above “borrowing” a fabulous fashion idea if it’s truly fabulous. I know I’m not – and I’m always happy to pass on a great idea. Marie Claire magazine has an interesting take on the faux fur vest in their Splurge vs. Steal section in their December issue: wearing a faux fur vest as a top.Read More »

Headfirst Into the Holidays

in category of Fashion, Tracey Vest

It’s a lot of work to try to make things special for the holidays. That goes for decorations, gifts, and your appearance. Most of us want to put a little extra effort into how we look this time of year. Of course, you want to look fabulous for a party or event, but if your hair looks pretty, it gives you a little boost, sort of like a touch of lipstick. If you’re looking for something quick to glitz up your appearance, consider a decorative headband.Read More »

Cope with the Cold in Color

I don’t care what the calendar says; I think winter is already here. Okay, it hasn’t started snowing yet, but it is already cold enough to start piling on all of the necessary winter weather gear.Read More »

I Love a Man in Uniform

in category of Fashion, Tracey Vest

While I am keeping tabs on what is going on in fashion, I admit I have a tendency to focus on me, me, me, and which fashion trends I like. I like to think I am not entirely self-obsessed, because I am sharing the info with my fellow fashionistas. In the spirit of the coming holidays and thinking of other folks, here’s a hot fashion trend you may want to embrace for your guy: the military look.Read More »

Get Your Party On

in category of Fashion, Tracey Vest

I think you should always keep a few items at work to take care of any wardrobe emergencies. Things happen – like a drastic change of temperature in the office, spilling coffee on your blouse, tearing your stockings, or (hooray!) the unexpected after-work date. The items I have kept handy in the past have included an extra sweater or shirt, safety pins, needle and thread, and a mini makeup kit. Now that the holidays are staring us straight in the eye I plan on adding a few extra items, and I suggest you do the same so you can get your party on in an instant.Read More »

A Top That Twinkles

in category of Fashion, Tracey Vest

Sequins have been a hot fashion trend practically all year, and I’m willing to bet they will be taking us right into the holidays. Sequined shorts, skirts, dresses, and all sorts of fabulous accessories have been going just about everywhere and anywhere all day long for months. Sequins are a personal all-time favorite, but hot trend or not, sequins can still be considered by some to be a bit much unless it’s a special occasion. You might be tempted to pass on this trend but I suggest you get your shine on and make room in your wardrobe and budget for at least one sequined item.Read More »
