Vest Weather...

For those of my readers on the West coast, you know what I mean when I say that it's "definitely vest weather" ... Don't get me wrong I do not envy my friends in the Mid West or the East Coast either. I only wish there was a balance between our heat wave and your rain. Trust me California could use some rain. 

With that being said... Here are some vests you can wear when it's too hot to go full blinging jacket in the ring. 

The Heavy Metal Coral Vest 2x/3x 

This vest was made with my plus size riders in mind. Feel ever so stylish in this chic yet heavy metal looking western vest. The material used makes it comfortable enough to be worn in and out of the ring.

The Peacock

We have quite a few peacock inspired jackets in store right now so we thought we would shed a little insight on peacock symbolism.

The peacock is a possessor of some of the most admired human characteristics, and is a symbol of integrity and the beauty we can achieve when we endeavor to show our true colors.

Peacock Perfect

In history, myth, legend and lore, the Peacock symbolism carries portents of: nobility, holiness, guidance, protection and watchfulness.

Contemplate the powers of the peacock when you need more vibrancy and vitality in your life. 

Peacock Feathers

The peacock can rejuvenate self-esteem levels too. If you're feeling "blah" and blue, imagine the glorious, techno-color display the Peacock provides. 

Cappuccino Peacock

Channel your inner peacock in one of these lovely showmanship items. In no time, you'll be walking tall and proud as a Peacock too!

Fall heat wave!?

If you live in California then you know what I'm talking about when I say Fall heat wave. Its October and the rest of the week is going to be in the high 90's. 

Last I checked Summer was over....So with that in mind we designed two new beautiful showmanship vests that will look great and feel great in this weather. 

Blushing Black Beauty

 The Blushing Black Beauty vest is definitely one-of-a-kind. Take your black chaps to another level with this updated vest. Wear with a black shirt and you've got a completely different look!

Native Feathers

Unsurpassed style in the ring…and oh so flattering. This vest has been embellished with our metal squares and crystals in several colors. We have used our signature base fabric in black. It’s comfortable, high end, washable and has a structured stretch that gives an incredibly flattering look.

How to wear a Lisa Nelle favorite

The Dream Catcher vest has been an office favorite ever since we first debuted it. Customers are always asking me to recommend a color that would look good underneath this vest. 

 I recommend wearing this vest with a simple long sleeve, stretch cotton top or basic fitted collar-less t-shirt. You’ll ride comfortable all day and the look is tailored and flattering. You can pair this vest with a black, white, or any color in the design shirt. Love purple? Match with a purple shirt and saddle pad. You can really pull any color! I love black for horsemanship and either white or colored for trail, pleasure, reining or western riding.

This vest has been accented with a rainbow dream catcher screen print, Swarovski crystals, pearls and other high end elements. This top is stunning in person and the sparkle is breathtaking. We have used our signature base fabric in black. It’s comfortable, high end, washable and has a structured stretch that gives an incredibly flattering look.

Yes to FAUX and no to FUR!

I've noticed a lot of animal cruelty posts on Twitter lately and it literally makes me sick to my stomach. Here in the fashion world there are plenty ways to be fashionable without being cruel. 

Below you'll find some faux inspired showmanship outfits that you'll find extremely fashionable without being harmful to the animals they were inspired by. 

Shine On Leopard Shirt

Be fierce in this Leopard Shine On showmanship shirt. The body has an electric purple applique in a perfectly symmetrically tribal design. Flattering and slimming. We have outlined the collar in black ultra suede filled in with clear Swarovski crystals.

Blue Snake Shirt

No need to feel slimy in this one-of-a-kind faux snakeskin showmanship shirt. This bold riding shirt is all about the incredible print, light blue, black and gray. The collar has been outlined in black Ultrasuede and filled in with silver metal domes and clear Swarovski crystals.

Call of the Wild

Be bold in this black & white zebra snakeskin inspired showmanship shirt. This versatile shirt is all about the bold print and the insanely pretty collar. The collar has been outlined in black Ultrasuede and filled in with clear Swarovski crystals.

You'll find that all of these inspired prints are completely animal friendly.

Hot New Showmanship Vests!

Let's face it, this heat isn't going anywhere so we decided to make some hot new showmanship vests that will help keep you feeling cool and looking sharp.

Palm Springs

I designed this one while on a weekend getaway with a couple of friends in Palm Springs. The desert is like nothing else and I wanted this vest to be the same. This vest has been hand embellished in the most incredible design. We’ve used shimmering blue and coral applique, Swarovski crystals and other high end elements. This vest is definitely one of my new favorites and it's sure to go fast.

Mocha

I recommend wearing this vest with a simple long sleeve, stretch cotton top or basic fitted collar-less t-shirt. You’ll ride comfortable all day and the look is tailored and flattering. You can pair this vest with a black, white, or any color in the design shirt. Love Teal? Match with a teal shirt and saddle pad. I love black for horsemanship and either white or teal for trail, pleasure, reining or western riding.

We didn't forget about our plus size customers when designing our new vests. This vest has been accented with a rich, pretty tulip screen print, Swarovski crystals, pearls and other high end elements. This top is stunning in person and the sparkle is breathtaking. Look chic and fashionable in the ring while also keeping cool.

Picking the right showmanship jacket for you

First things first: There is no such thing as wearing the wrong showmanship jacket for an event.

When picking your jacket you should always think about style and comfort.

You can find the most blingtastic jacket that looks like a dream come true but if it doesn't fit you right it will affect your performance.

Sizing is everything.

If it doesn't fit don't wear it!

You can always alter your showmanship jacket and if you can't then it isn't the one for you.

Be colorful. Be bold. Be you.

Money can make the difference between a quality jacket that will last you for years to come and a jacket that will fall apart at the seams mid ride.

Know your designer.

Be original.

Get your BLING on in the ring!

This week we have stunning new jackets that will definitely get you noticed in the ring.
