Tracy Porter $250 Giveaway!

{Tracy Porter's little cutie pie}

While at the Design Blogger's Conference in LA a little while back, I got to meet one of the most inspiring, energetic & gorgeous women I've ever met in my life: Tracy Porter


{Just love her style!!}


Tracy's philosophy is all about being true to yourself and getting inspired by everything around you.  She's so excited about life, which comes accross so clearly when you read her blog or meet her.  Tracy designs and sells her own lines of clothing, jewelry, accessories, rugs, lighting, furniture & home decor.  When Tracy contacted me about doing a giveaway on Pure Style Home, I was so excited.  She's giving one of our readers a $250 gift certificate for her store, which you can view here.  There are so many products to choose from but I wanted to share a few of my favorites with you.  (ie the things I covet ;)


{I looooove this fish bone pendant!!  So detailed, which is a trademark of her style.}


{awesome cocktail ring = rrrrrar}



{This rug gives me a good feeling.  I'm not sure what it is about it, but somehow it reminds me of something from my childhood that I just can't quite place.  love it}


{Dying to use these Empress Wing Chairs in a project!}


{Oh yes...  see the details?!}

{ahhhhh    so romantic!!}


{I love the femining details on these boots}


{Silvered lantern, yes please!}

And finally, I love this pic of Tracy & one of her (4!) sons:


{Green floral Hoodie = perfection!!}

I think it's so amazing to see people going after their dreams and creating something special & personal.  If you haven't checked out Tracy's blog, click here and be sure to check out her videos. 



To enter the giveaway for a chance to win $250 to spend at Tracy Porter.com, just leave a comment in the comments section telling us about a simple pleasure you like to enjoy...  Just something small that makes you happy. The giveaway will be up all week!


xoxo, Lauren

ps- A simple pleasure I like to indulge in is eating outside.  My husband surprised me today (Sunday) by picking me up from a long day at the DC Design House with a picnic dinner and it was just awesome.  There's something about being outside that seems to make food taste better. 

If you'd like help creating a home you absolutely love, contact me about our design services.

I love piling up on the bed in front of the big TV and watching a movie with my niece and nephews. Priceless.

My simple pleasure is sitting outside on our back porch with my husband and dog and beer in hand :)

amalisa said...

My most favorite simple pleasure is a blanket in the back yard with a glass of tea and a library book.

Lori said...

A simple pleasure...is letting the windows open in Spring and having the gentle wind freshen up the house and room where one reads and naps with the dogs as one relaxes in the little things in life...very generous gift certificate offer...thank you!

Dianne said...

I am an artist. For me painting in the middle of the night in my nightgown and in the quiet is perfection!

Rachel Clayton said...

One of my favorite simple pleasures is lighting some candles and then curling up and reading a book in a cozy armchair (like your adorable "Mad Hatters")on a rainy day. :) Thanks for the post! Love your blog!

Emily said...

I love being the first one up in the morning. The house is so peaceful and quiet!!! Makes me happy!

Simple pleasures are moments stolen to myself. I'm a pretty busy lady so I enjoy getting a chance to snooze and dream in a sunbeam late in the afternoon or a moment to stop at the beach and eat a bag lunch on my way back to the office.

Teri said...

I enjoy curling up on the sofa with my husband at the end of the day, reading a good book, drinking a cup of tea. Enjoying the quiet at the end of the day.

Lindsey Nartker said...

Being able to open my windows while I work... smelling the fresh air and hearing the nature outside gives me more energy than I can even explain!

Lindsey said...

I love to lay in bed on the weekend after waking up without an alarm!

Bethany [at] Powell Brower Home said...

I LOVE Tracy Porter! I have all of the serving pieces from the peacock patterned Artesian Road set. shes So creative and talented! and the colors! they used to sell her stuff at The Nest Egg in FFX Corner, but now I can only find it at Horchow. Thanks for bringing her back to top of mind!

Anonymous said...

my simple pleasure is a great cup of coffee and waking up with the birds, watching them flock out my kitchen window. This morning I got to see a baby bunny out my window enjoying her breakfast. I'm so grateful to my husband for giving us a great place in the country for our twin girls to grow!

Unknown said...

My simple pleasure is a cup (or two!) of tea first thing in the morning. It's not like a need like some people NEED coffee, but I wait until my 3-year-old daughter is watching Sesame Street. She gets so enthralled with the show, that I actually get a quiet hour to enjoy my tea while reading the newspaper. Thanks for the giveaway!!!

Brittany said...

We have a great view from our living room and (during the summer) it is my goal to get the three babies here in bed before sunset. Watching the sun go down behind the mountains in a quiet house (sometimes with a glass of wine...) is pure peace.

I love that first sip of strong black coffee in the morning.

Thanks for the giveaway!

DecRenew Interiors said...

I love opening all my plantation shutters each morning and turning on all my lamps while sipping my first cup of coffee. Something simple about being home and enjoying routine.

Unknown said...

It's finally spring and time to enjoy one of my absolute favorites- walking on a wooden dock! The hollow sound as you walk on the wood with the ocean underneath, the "jangling" from the riggings on the sailboats in their docks, the sound of seagulls, of the ocean, of happy people and of course; the smell! Nothing quite like it!

Laura said...

Hm, simple pleasures...how about enough time to do everything I need to do? This week, especially. But I don't think Tracy Porter sells time. On the other hand, I could probably make much better use of my time if I could do it in one of her gorgeous blouses or dresses. Never know til you try, anyway. :)

Dawn said...

ooh I LOVE me some Tracy :) I have been a HUGE fan of hers for the past 10 years or so..and a regular visitor on her blog...in fact, she not too long ago featured my 6 year old daughter Lucy's fashion video on her blog, she LOVEs Tracy too!!

I digress...I love making my home feel warm and inviting when my family comes home from their day at school or work !

Unknown said...

...herbal ice tea, a clean, shiny kitchen sink, morning cofee...and I love that romantic bracelet!

Lauren said...

I love it when the my first vege's come in. That is a simple pleasure that just makes me so giddy!

vignette design said...

For me, getting lost in a great book and not being able to put it down, even if it's two in the morning!

Simply having a glass of wine with my hubby and our new puppy :)

Jennifer said...

love going out to breakfast! doesn't have to be fancy, but any meal I don't have to make myself is a treat :)

Anne said...

I absolutely love to take a walk on the beach to go shell seeking~ it is so peaceful and renews my soul. The beach I go to is at Assateague island in MD. It also holds a special meaning for me, as this is where my husband proposed to me--he hid the ring in a beautiful shell that he planted on the beach--wouldn't that have been funny if someone else found it first! (although in Dec, not many shell seekers on the beach)

McGowen said...

I am very much obsessed with Tracy Porter. I have been watching her videos for almost two years now and she truly is inspiring! Right now, my simple pleasure, is an urn filled with Pussy willows, spring bulbs, and moss by my front door. It makes me smile every time I come and go....$7.00 has never been better spent!

Unknown said...

my morning run. the spring sunshine plus the new green yellow on the trees makes it such a pleasure to go for a jog and watch the world grow.

Unknown said...

I look forward to spending time in the evening with my husband--typically that involves eating dinner on the couch while watching a movie after the kids are in bed. We treasure the short bits of time we have!

Natalie said...

hoarding fabric. of all kinds. i have a slight obsession but i guess there could be worse things :) what a great giveaway. as always, love your blog and all your design-ing. what amazing opportunities have opened up for you recently! cute kids and hubs count for something too. nice to see you keeping them both in proper priority :)

A favorite simple pleasure is being in nature, watching a sun rise and set, watching my kids run barefoot through the grass, just a simple moment to sit and take in the beauty of God's creation.

Nicole @ one half world said...

My simple pleasure is lounging on the couch with a good book, while my dog naps beside me. A cup of coffee on the side table doesn't hurt either!

joanne said...

Ohhh, so many sweet things to choose from. Life is full of them! But maybe at this phase in my life, being in my garden digging, planting and admiring, simply because I have so little time to do it now. Before kids it was so much easier to take the time. Now it's just one big smilefest when I'm getting dirty. My how times change.

Oooooh. Beautiful giveaway. She IS inspirational.

Simple pleasure...waking up in the earliest of dawn...when everyone in the house(and much of the world) is sleeping, and safe...and slipping away, maybe to the ocean (with a friend)for a walk on the beach...and sometimes just to sit with a warm cup of Joe outside.

All feels right with the world when I do this...

Lucy said...

Riding my bike to work. It's a short ride. But those ten minutes are all mine.

Taking a nap in the middle of the day, walking our puppy just before sundown, and talking to my children while they take a bath.

swedeepea said...

Oh my gosh, those boots, i looooove!!

It gives me great pleasure when i wake up in the morning to a text from my daughter who is away at college. It often reads "hello mooma". Mooma I used to think, really? I would ask her to call me something else. Now, it brings me such joy and I am so grateful that I am in her thoughts when she wakes up in the morning!

Unknown said...

How fun, Lauren!! I love that your husband brought you a picnic. A true romantic!

A simple pleasure for me is snuggling with each of my boys and talking about their day before they go to sleep.

I love been in the mountain at our Idaho cabin where I was raise with the view of the lake, the smell of green grass freshly mowed, grilling our meals outside on the deck with all our extended family there.
It's amazing listening and laughing to all the old stories of my six sibling! Family and nature is a true gift

Market Decor said...

Hi! You know, when my kids were little, I just loved laying on the "big" bed (in our master bedroom) with them - playing, reading, cuddles, sleeping...such a precious time. I was feeling all sad - can't do that anymore - but then, our beautiful grandson came!!! Just precious time with the people I love!

Allison Stasney said...

I love to read design magazines in the bathtub... such a simple thing, but it relaxes me, allows my creative juices to flow, and gets me clean! Especially while I've been pregnant, those baths are some of the final moments of quiet that I know I'll cherish once are precious baby arrives!

eotoy said...

A simple pleasure of mine is to walk my dog to the river to watch her swim. Watching her bound joyfully into the water and stand at attention waiting for the stick to be thrown brings me great delight!

Unknown said...

My son...4 years old ...coming into our room to snuggle...and his sweet little habits...so innocent

Caroline said...

I love an early morning shower before everyone wakes up, usually right about the time the sun is coming up too. It's so peaceful and quiet, and I open the little window to let the cool morning air in. Just perfect.

Oh my.... What a totally fabulous giveaway. Please enter my name too! :-)

Simple pleasure? Every Tuesday I pick up my grandson from school. He's nearly 11 now, but we started when he was just five. I take him wherever he wants to go. He loves animals, so sometimes it's just as simple as the pet store....sometimes the book store, toy store, library..... movie. Whatever his little heart desires. Then we go to dinner and I take him home. He calls it his special day and doesn't like anything to interfere. I look forward to it all week too. Just some time for the two of us. I'm over the moon about this little guy.

Warm blessings,
Spencer

I absolutely love when my sweet hubby is able to call & Skype us from Afghanistan ... he has been deployed there for almost a year and everytime the computer sings that he's online, my heart flutters :) What a great giveaway, thank you!

jessica said...

One of my favorite things that brings a smile to my face is when my 3 and 5 year old {{girls}} get along and play sweetly together. They are polar opposites, so when they 'play' it's mostly fighting. They do have a sweet side, and when it comes out...it's super cute and....sweet!
Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway!

HI Lauren, thank you so much for turning me on to Tracy, I can already tell we are going to be great "friends"!!

One of my newfound simple pleasures is a yoga class I take on Fridays. I homeschool, go to school full time and raise my wonderful 3 children (5 & under) while my husband travels M-F, so a little escape and some soothing stretching has been my idea of heaven.

That perfect drive to work song. You know, when you just aren't feeling up for another day at the office and then the best car-dancing, carefree song comes on the radio and you can't help but change you're mood. For me, it's Footloose. Love that song.

Life is full of simple pleasures. A clean and cushy run underfoot in the morning, the cat's morning greeting, the sounds of coffee brewing and knowing my husband woke up a few minutes early to start it for me. The first gush of cool air when leaving for work. The smell of peppermint growing. Ah...I love spring. In and of itself, it is a simple pleasure. Logging on to Pure Style Home and finding relatable articles presented in beautiful ways. Thanks! These are a few simple pleasures in my life!

I love to sit in the morning sun and have a cup of tea. As a Senior I often wake up with lots of aches and pains and that wonderful morning sun seems to just soothe them away.

I love to take a cat nap on our sofa with the warmth of the sun shining on me. Those few moments of sleep are really revitalizing! Thanks for the giveaway.

I love to walk my dog in the park and watch people smile at him. He has a huge, adorable head that just seems to amuse other walkers. Often they stop and ask what kind of dog he his and where he got his oversized head--and they leave laughing!

One of my favorite simple pleasures is reading your blog! It's a nice little respite from whatever else I have going on and I always leave feeling inspired. Add my first morning cup of coffee to the experience and I know my day is off to a good start!

I have two simple pleasures that when combined are a huge win. I adore getting dressed up in the day time. For no reason, just to go shopping, or eat lunch, just cuz I can.

And the other. Is a good sandwich. Lovely fresh bread, some sort of pest smear, fresh veg, delicious cheese and meat. Nothing better.

There are so many simple things that I love....most of all a warm, lazy day just hanging out with my husband and the dogs....

My boys are teenagers now and I savor the evenings when they are both home and want to play board games with me. We add our own silly twists to the rules and nothing is better than all of us laughing together.

I love Tracy's, well most everything...the boots above are great!!
My my little slice of happiness is when I am riding my motorcycle on a road I have never been on, no time crunch, and can just soak it all in...Gods creation, the scenery, birds flying above and little critters off to the side of the road...ahh Happy Place!

My simple pleasure is sitting on my deck at sunset, watching the clouds and sky change, listening to the frogs chatter and catching a glimpse of the deer as they nibble their way through our meadow. Signs of summer!
Love all things TP...great giveaway!

I love surprises. . . especially if they involve being outside and frozen yogurt.

A simple pleasure for me is sipping hot cocoa while reading a favorite magazine or blog. I heart chocolate and I am addicted to fashion and home magazines.

My simple pleasure is having a bit of time before I turn the lights off to read. Just a couple minutes can be such a treat after a day of chasing kiddos.

relaxing on our screened in porch with our dogs after a long day at work!

Simple pleasure: reading outside on my deck at night by candlelight.

I love curling up with a book and my puppies, and relaxing while they fall asleep in my lap

For me it's a cup of coffee---by myself. Yet, with three kiddos and a full-time job (and a husband on the road 5 days a week), the only time I can get this is in the wee hours of the morning. I make my coffee at 5am. Then if it's nice out---like it's starting to be---woo hoo---I sit on my front stoop and wait for the paper man. He's always a little freaked out to see me there---just sipping my cup o'joe and waiting for the days news. So lovely. So peaceful. Even if for only 20 minutes or so.
