My top bag picks

2010-02-02T12:04:59+00:00

Hi fashion lovers,

As we've launched our new-look bag and purse department, I had a look through and chose some of my favourite pieces for you to have a look at...

Fortuna Valentino fold-over clutch

This is my favourite! Ruffles are bang-on-trend for spring and summer, and so is the clutch shape. And with three fresh spring colours to choose from, you just can't go wrong with this gorgeous piece! Choose from Blue, Coral or Yellow.

Butler & Wilson snake-effect bag

Great for evenings out, this B&W bag is a great size for storing your bits and pieces (lippie and hairbrush!) and is glam too, with its snakeskin effect design. Its shape is fashion forward, and will bring your evening wear right up to date.

Kathy Van Zeeland shopper

This is a great bag for glamming up your day wear! It's such a gorgeous shape, really modern. And the clean hardware adds to its on-trend look. Wear it with jeans, pumps, a tee and a blazer for a casual, but fashionable look.

Butler & Wilson patchwork animal-print bag

If you really want to up the glam factor, then this fabulous Butler & Wilson bag is for you. Animal print is set to be big through spring and summer, and this little tiger - sorry excuse the pun!, packs a glamorous punch. It will add a zing to your evening wear, and make your outfits purr!

If you like any of these, or want to check out the rest of our gorgeous handbags, have a look at our new-look bag and purse department. But be warned, it is filled with irresistible pieces!

Happy shopping!

Carla from Tignanello talks bags...

2010-02-01T23:50:00+00:00

We've had some great accessory TSVs lately haven't we?! And today's Tignanello bag is no exception. I love it, so I had a chat with Carla Laszlo (the Tignanello guest) to see what she could tell us...

Tell us a little about Today's Special Value.

It's a real winner for everyone, no matter what you age or style! It has a modern slouchy hobo shape with a classic edge, and it comes in some real eye popping colours too!

It's made from pebble leather (which Tignanello is known for) which is so durable, and stands the test of time, plus of course it features our very distinctive lining. Function and organization is standard with our designs, and in my opinion, this particular bag will tick all your boxes!

What outfits can you wear it with?

This Tignanello design is so versatile - with its casual style, and high gloss silver hardware it would suit jeans and a t-shirt, and it would also add elegance to a smarter outfit too! Perfect!

What bag trends are going to be big in spring and summer?

With spring and summer fast approaching, although I know it doesn't feel like it... we welcome back bright fresh colours. The TSV is bang on trend, as you will be able to accessorize by adding that splash of colour to any outfit!

Can you tell us a little about the Tignanello brand?

Tignanello was launched in the United States in 1989 where organisation and functionality were always a big part of Tignanello’s appeal.

Today the brand has evolved into a modern classic handbag range where the relatively new design team have spent months redesigning and perfecting the collection. They have used fine supple leathers in smooth and signature pebble-grain finishes as well as high-quality microfibres, but have remained true to the ‘Tig’ heritage.

Tignanello bags are designed to fit into every woman’s lifestyle, remaining practical, yet modern with the updated clean metallic hardware. This range is truly stylish and completely affordable. Perfect for work, travel or play!

You can check out Today's Special Value online now, or catch Carla on one of the shows throughout the day. Also, if you fancy winning a Tignanello bag, check out our competition.

Happy shopping!

I chat to Emu guest Sam Simmons

2010-01-28T23:55:00+00:00

Hi fashion fans,

We've got an unmissable Today's Special Value today, and I caught up with Emu guest Sam Simmons to have a chat about all things Emu! (I also bumped into Ali K wearing the Today's Special Value boots, so I got you a snap! See below)

Tell us what makes Emu boots special.

They look stunning, they feel amazing to wear and they last for years! Emu only use the best premium Australian sheepskin which feels so sumptuous against your skin and is a natural insulator too - keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. Every detail of an Emu boot is created for your comfort, wearability and durability. I wear mine every single day!

We've heard celebs are Emu fans, who's been spotted wearing them?

Celebs LOVE Emu! To name a few papped in theirs - Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Katie Holmes, The Gossip Girls, Hilary Duff, Peaches Geldof and even royalty - Princess Beatrice!

What do you think about our Today's Special Value Quest boots?

I just love the Quest boots. On the outside they're refined and elegant - like a stylised cowboy boot. On the inside they have a gorgeous tactile sheepskin lining. If, like me, you've been looking for a flat boot to add to your wardrobe then your quest is over with the Quest!

I'd tried vintage boots and lots of high street styles but I couldn't find any flat boots that were warm, comfortable and looked glamorous. With the weather we've been having lately I didn't think any boot would prise my Emu Stingers off my tootsies but the Quests have.

What can you wear with them?

On QVC you'll see me wearing mine with little dresses, smart jeans and leggings. What I love about Quests are that they have a versatile style that can be dressed up or down.

You can create a relaxed casual look wearing the Chestnut option with a long cardigan and denim jeans; or a more elegant evening look wearing the Black Quests with a flowing skirt or dress. Or take a leaf out of Alison's book (left), and wear them when you're wrapped up in a cosy coat and jeans.

You can buy your Emu Quests online, or join Sam on our live shows at 12am - 2am, 9am, 1pm, 5pm, 7pm and 9pm.

Happy shopping!

Two minutes with... Lenny Feinberg from Nina Leonard

2010-01-26T09:29:39+00:00

Hi fashion fans,

We've got some great Nina Leonard shows coming up tomorrow and Thursday, so I had a quick chat with the legendary Nina Leonard guest Lenny Feinberg about all things fashion...

What can we expect from the shows on Tuesday and Wednesday?

A combination of fun and fashion!

Tell us a little about the Nina Leonard brand.

It's designed to make a lady always feel like a lady... while providing comfort, quality and easy care!

What are your three wardrobe essentials for every woman?

A great dress that works day into evening, a great trouser that works for the office as well as casual, and a shawl that works day and night.

What's your favourite part of coming to present on QVC?

I love the people at QVC UK and above all else… the viewers!

What trends are going to be big for spring?

The dress, the knitted shrug as an accessory and to cover bare arms, and colour!

You can check out the Nina Leonard collection on Wednesday at 12pm, 4pm and 8pm and on Thursday at 10am and 5pm.

My new-year fitness regime

2010-01-21T10:09:16+00:00

Hi fashion fans,

No more excuses for me!!! It was time for me to start my 2010 fitness regime this week - I haven’t been able to exercise for the past six months due to my fall and then an ongoing chest infection. But whoopee this week all the snow is gone and it was time for me to don my running shoes. I started off on Monday with a very modest 2 ¼ mile run and was pleasantly surprised I managed to complete it in just under 17 minutes.

Wednesday was my next run, albeit a little bit harder, I still managed the same time. If I've inspired you to kick-start your own fitness regime, why don't you treat yourself to a pair of New Balance running or walking shoes and enjoy the open road! It’s one of the best ways to get fit as well as a good start to get you in shape for the summer months. Let’s do it together.

Ps. Join me if you can later today to take a look at some Centigrade Outerwear that will keep you warm and cosy as well as stylish through the rest of winter.

Lots of love,

Glen

Catherine's winter warmer tips

2010-01-12T23:43:00+00:00

Hi fashion fans,

Our Winter Warmer event couldn't have come at a better time, what with the weather being as bad as it is! I caught up with Catherine Huntley to find out how she keeps warm (and stylish) in the cold, and does she go out and play in the snow or not?

What do you think of the Cashmasoft Today's Special Value?

I love it! The set is really chic and so soft and cosy to wear! Plus you can mix and match the pieces into your wardrobe and create lots of different looks.

What are your favourite pieces of clothing or accessories that keep you snug in the cold?

I wasn't a fan of the 'ugly boot' but since trying Emu boots I have taken to them 110%! I wore some when this photo was taken in Bruges when I went out to the Christmas markets. My Centigrade coat also came in very handy too! It was freezing, but I had a lovely time.

I am one of those people who gets very cold so I always need socks. My mum has always knitted and I have several pairs of her fantastic handmade knitted slipper socks which keep my tootsies toasty!

When it's cold outside are you a go-out-and-play-in-the-snow girl? Or are you more likely to snuggle up on the sofa?

I'm both! Maybe I'm more a sofa snuggler but I simply have to get out in the snow with the kids and Steve - catch snowflakes in my mouth, throw snowballs, make snowmen (and women… this year's has a voluptuous bosom!) and lie down and make snow angels. Check out the pics of me in the snow!

I love a good movie and you can't beat being wrapped up watching a feel-good film like 'Elf' or a super silly one like 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'!

Do you have any tips for looking stylish in the cold weather?

Sparkle! Wear a brooch on your coat or scarf. Remember, your earrings are about the only jewellery that will be seen when you're all gloved up so show off some of your favourite pairs.

Also… colour! Today I am wearing a black knitted dress with a gray jumper underneath, probably sounds quite dull? Well, I've injected a bright teal green by wearing opaque tights. I have gloves which are the same colour and I've even lined my eyes with a very similar shade so it looks like I've made an effort.

Couldn't not mention handbags! Have a bag that makes a statement rather than blending in with the winter coat and shoes. Maybe a patent leather or even a winter white?

How do you keep your bedroom snug and warm in the cold?

I love my Northern Nights down duvet. It's as light as air but insulates so I never have to freeze in bed like I used to! Their flannel is great for the cosy factor too.

The other way I keep warm and snug in bed is by being a mummy to four cats who quite like my Northern Nights bedding too! Dinkycat sits on my chest in the morning to let me know it's breakfast time.

And the new year begins...

2010-01-12T12:54:26+00:00

Hi fashion lovers,

What a start to 2010! New Years Eve was a blast - lovely food, lovely company, one or two drinks and beautiful Chinese lanterns released at midnight. Then came the snow, the flu, the coughs and the sniffles.

My lovely wife Sue received a pair of running shoes from Santa and has only managed to hit the roads once. I just remembered I spotted a demo of the anti-slip shoe covers a few months ago and have realised that these are a must to have in the bottom of the cupboard whether you are keen to keep your outdoor fitness regime going or to take the dog for its regular exercise.

They fit on training shoes, walking shoes and your wellies - we all know wellies keep your feet dry but they can still be slippy on the ice. I am just about to place my order right now for a couple of sets of Get a Grip Ultra Slim traction Shoe straps and spikes.

Hopefully you haven't been tempted to head out in the deep snow in your new EMU boots - they are great for keeping your feet warm and cosy but the snow may leave the dreaded salt-mark stains which are a real nightmare to get out.

Tomorrow you must tune in for our Winter Warmer event, with shows dedicated to keeping warm in the cold, both in the house and outside too. Plus we have a stylish Today's Special Value that will keep you cosy and looking chic too.

Keep warm!

Love Glen x

Merry Christmas everyone!

2009-12-23T14:54:37+00:00

Hi fashion lovers,

Hoping your festive preparations are going to plan. I am on the last leg of food shopping now which starts Christmas Eve morning. This year I will have a little helper - Holly my 21 year old daughter (left) who enjoys supermarket shopping as much as I do.

A little fashion tip - plan ahead for the next couple of days when it comes to your fashion outfits. Have them pressed, steamed and ready so there’s no running round screaming ''have you seen my red dress!!?'' ''Where are my shoes!?'' I think you get the gist. It's all about being calm and relaxed while you have 101 things to do.

I would just like to say a very merry Christmas and happy holidays to all you fashion lovers, if you get a chance drop me a line and let me know how your Christmas outfits went down.

Eat cake and be merry!

Lots of Love Glen x

Look your best this Christmas...

2009-12-18T15:36:18+00:00

Hi everyone,

The big day is getting closer and closer and I know that this is the time we all start to worry about all those extra treats - lovely big roast dinners and one or two glasses of sherry!

But now is the time to eat and be merry and not worry about your extra calories. It’s easy for me to say that though because I don’t have to slip into a little party number for Christmas Eve - all I need to do is pop on a tuxedo which can hide a multitude of sins!

But not to worry you still have time to order your rescue remedy from QVC and that comes in the form of super shapewear! We have a full range of control underwear ranging from Spanx, Magic Dream and Slim 'N' Lift.

So grab yourself some shape wear and have them in your top draw to avoid any stress while getting dressed on New Year’s Eve.

Eat cake and be merry!

Yuletide Greetings and festive love,

Glen

Don't miss the last Centigrade TSV of the year!

2009-12-10T09:25:31+00:00

Fashion lovers, holidays a' coming!

I am getting more and more excited as each day goes by. Tomorrow is my last Centigrade TSV of 2009 and it’s a great one - think après ski in Aspen, think energizing and refreshing post-Christmas walks.

This TSV is all about keeping warm and cosy as well as staying nice and dry. Throw into the mix a fabulous faux-fur trimmed detachable hood and you'll be bang-on-trend too. It comes in a choice of classic Black and Gun Metal as well as fashion-forward Red and Green.

When worn with your EMU boots and cosy knits it gives you a chic Italian vibe, and for less than £45! This coat is a winner - perfect for a Christmas gift or even better, a winter warming treat for you. Join me throughout the day for my Centigrade hours.

Lots of Love,

Glen X

Dennis Basso talks Christmas

2009-12-07T23:55:00+00:00

Hi fashion fans,

As we have a fabulous Today's Special Value coat from Dennis Basso, I had a chat with the man himself and asked him about his Christmas...

How do you like to spend Christmas?

We usually spend Christmas with our whole family, either in our New York City apartment or my house in Southampton (USA, that is). We fill the house with friends and family and cook and eat for two whole days!

Tell us about the most glamorous Christmas you've ever had?

Once, several years ago, my most glamorous Christmas was on a 200 foot yacht that cruised the Caribbean, making stops at St. Barts and all of the other wonderful islands, from Christmas to New Year's Day. Not traditional or especially my favourite Christmas, but definitely the most glamorous.
What's on your Christmas wish list this year?

Definitely for Christmas I'd like to have a couple of new V-neck cashmere sweaters and I'd love to get a new set of luggage. I'm also always happy to get the newest gadget for the kitchen and pots and pans for when I'm playing chef.

Are there any American Christmas traditions you can tell us about that might differ from ours in the UK?
Well, we celebrate our Christmas with a little bit of Italy thrown in. Being Italian-American, we celebrate Christmas Eve with a big feast of seafood. This is all home-cooked and can include tomato sauce with fresh crabmeat served over linguini, shrimp scampi, stuffed lobster tail, calamari, and the list goes on and on.

And I shouldn't forget to mention the dessert of wonderful Italian pastries. We've been known to sit down at the table at 7:30 and still be there at midnight - nibbling on nuts, figs, fresh fruit and lots of delicious wine. Christmas day we tend to be a bit more American with the traditional turkey and ham along with all the delicious side dishes that go with that kind of dinner. Dessert is the ubiquitous fruitcake that we all seem to get gifted with every year.

Do you have any top tips for staying stylish in the cold winter months?

The most important thing for staying stylish is having a couple of great Dennis Basso winter coats! Then you can mix and match various scarves, gloves and hats. By changing accessories, it helps to bring in some bright colour and gives you a fresh new look every time you go out the door.

You can check out Dennis' chic outerwear range online, or catch him on QVCTV today at 1pm, 4pm, 6pm and 9pm.

Don't miss the Yong Kim premiere show tonight!

2009-12-02T12:29:41+00:00

Hi fashion lovers,

The countdown for Christmas has truly begun and the clock is ticking quickly in terms of sorting everything out. So, I thought I would give you a helping hand with your holiday wardrobe.

First off, don't miss the premiere of Yong Kim fashion Designs tonight at 7pm. This is a range that I have been very excited about since the beginning of the year - the fashion buyers presented a couple of pieces for my opinion and I instantly loved them.
For example, the Yong Kim convertible dress skirt is a really useful piece - when worn as a dress your shoulders are bare, so to give you an extra layer try the crinkle tissue-knit cocoon top, add a fabulous piece of jewellery and you're ready to go.
There’s also an easy wear angel-sleeved dress that comes in fashion forward plum and uber-chic charcoal. This is a throw-on piece that will be great throughout the festive season for that smart-casual soiree at home.

That’s just a taste of this easy wear collection that has bags of style. I suggest you get ahead of the crowd and check out Yong Kim's collection now, and then tune in for the show this evening.

I will be back in touch with a few more hot tips to help you sort out your holiday wardrobe.

Celebrating one of my favourite ranges

2009-11-25T11:45:22+00:00

Hi fashion lovers,

How exciting, it’s my 4th Anniversary... well not actually mine it’s Centigrade’s 4th Anniversary. I took Centigrade under my wing and called it my own from day 1. I love this range of outerwear and it’s proved extremely popular with lots of our QVC shoppers. The price point is key, they are always affordable, have bags of style and there’s versatility throughout the collection.

Join me this week from Thursday through to Friday as I have a handful of shows with lots of Anniversary surprises. So, if you like the idea of giving a fab faux-shearling winter coat as a Christmas gift or you fancy treating yourself to a winter warmer, join me for the 4th Anniversary shows for Centigrade - they will be lots of fun.

Happy shopping!

Love Glen x

Two minutes with... Lulu Guinness

2009-11-19T23:45:00+00:00

Hi fashion fans,

To celebrate Designer Day today and a Today's Special Value from one of our most fabulous designers, I caught up with the lovely Lulu Guinness to talk handbags and more...

Tell us about your inspiration for Today's Special Value bag

Today's Special Value boasts our new best-selling shape - the Romilly. I've created it in a new fabric and in new colours that are just for QVC customers!

What would you choose to wear it with? And which celeb would you like to see wearing it?

I would wear my black Moschino dress with it - classic and simple so the bag really makes a statement. Lauren Laverne always looks great and is a huge Lulu fan so I could definitely see her wearing it!

What types of bags will we be seeing this season?

The theme for our current collection is London Calling and features lots of Union Jack bags and British themed-designs, so the perfect accessory for the party season would be one of my bags that incorporate this, with a touch of added sparkle.

Which is your favourite bag from your own collection?

I have two favourites - the Pollyanna handbag and the shiny patent black leather Hillary bag. They go with most outfits and can accommodate all my daily essentials!

What are your favourite QVC brands?

I love all the Elemis beauty products - they're definitely on my Christmas list!

View the full Lulu Guinness range.

For more style advice from Lulu, tune in on Friday 20th November at 12am - 2am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm and 8pm.

My first black tie event of the party season

2009-11-19T14:11:42+00:00

Hi all you fashion lovers,

I've just attended my first black tie event leading up to the party season and I was very pleased to meet Maureen Bramham, one of our regular customers, who I must say was turned out beautifully.

All the ladies at the event had made a special effort for this glamorous occasion. The trend for the men seemed to be dinner jackets with coloured bow ties, all very daring indeed. I opted for a classic slim black tie.

One accessory that I think would have been very useful for some of the ladies would have been a shawl or wrap, giving them an extra layer to wrap around their shoulders on arrival and adding an extra splash of glamour. My favourite has to be the Pure & Simple pashmina with beaded fringing.

Plus, also check out Dream Keeper's beautifully embellished shawls. They have a vintage feel to them which will allow you to arrive at your festive celebrations looking fabulous and also avoid any cloakroom queue when it comes to carriages home.

My Christmas food preparations continue...

2009-11-16T16:23:34+00:00

Hi all you food lovers,

My first love is fashion but I also have a passion for food and cooking, so on the back of last weekend I just thought I would let you know how my prep and sample recipes are going for the Christmas period. I prepared these mussels (below) on Saturday evening with a view to serving them for family and friends on Christmas Eve.

Here’s my recipe...

Sautée one banana shallot in unsalted butter. Once soft and translucent add a diced knuckle of ginger, half a chopped chilli and one chopped clove of garlic.

After a couple of minutes add a glass of crisp dry white wine, bring to the boil add your scrubbed and de-bearded mussels (make sure they are all closed before you put them in) put the lid on and steam until all the mussels are open. This should take around four to five minutes.
Remove mussels from liquor, discarding any that have not opened. Add a tin or carton of coconut cream, half a tablespoon of mild curry powder, one squeezed fresh lime and bring to a rapid boil for one minute. Then reduce the heat, add mussels and stir gently to combine the mussels and sauce.
Add a good handful of chopped coriander and then put your mussels into a serving bowl adding more fresh coriander and half a chopped red chilli. Serve with coriander and garlic naan bread for soaking up all those lovely juices.

This dish has definitely made the Christmas recipe list, the whole family loved them!

How are your Christmas preparations coming along?

Love Glen x

The presenters talk Christmas fashion...

2009-11-13T23:00:00+00:00

Hi fashion fans,

As you know I've really been getting into the Christmas spirit, and so I asked some of the presenters about what they'll be wearing on Christmas day and if they've made any funny festive fashion mistakes…

So what will you be wearing on Christmas day this year?

Debbie F: Oh hopefully something smaller than I’m wearing right now! Diet Chef is on the horizon!!

Jilly: Hopefully PJs until at least 1pm!

Debbie G: An apron as I spend so much time cooking!

Alison Y: I don't dress up on Christmas Day - I'm running round like crazy. So I start in jodhpurs and pretty much stay in jodhpurs. I'll also be wearing odd socks with holes in guaranteed, unless someone has bought me new socks and then I'll be wearing those.
It will be a pretty natural make-up day too, though just before everyone comes round I'll add a quick little slick of Laura Geller or a little lipgloss so I don't look quite as flustered as I feel.
Have you made any festive fashion mistakes you'd rather forget?

Alison K: I couldn't possibly comment as they've been while wearing 'gifts' from various members of my family!

Claudia: Most years! I always over dress for Christmas. No one ever says anything but they probably think 'Oh my, here comes the bauble' - I love Christmas!

Anthony: No - I'm a style guru!

Catherine: I don’t think so but then again I’m rather partial to the odd fashion faux pas! I have made many in my time. Back in my dancing days I escaped having to wear the most embarrassing costume ever., but some of my friends weren't so lucky - they had to dress as Christmas puddings... we still laugh about it to this day!

The costumes were huge, several feet wide, and the dancers were made to puff their cheeks out whilst tap dancing. It was for a Christmas Spectacular show at Thursford Steam Museum. Funniest thing!

Simon: Many I'm sure but none that I care to mention - and all the photos seem to have been destroyed! Haha.

Anne: Probably, but you'd have to ask my family, and 'Chez Dawson' is not noted for its sense of fashion (which is probably just as well). I do however remember having long flouncy sleeves which caught fire when I was cooking one year!

Your questions answered...

2009-11-10T10:13:53+00:00

Hi there,

A few of you posted questions on the blog, I hope my answers help!

This question is from Alison Crawford and is quite a common issue for larger women...

I am a size 20 (22 - 24 in coats and dresses) and I would like to buy a dress for myself but am a good old-fashioned 'apple' with a large chest. I like the look of the Tiana B range but am not sure which dress would be suitable for me, also being a big girl patterns and striped frighten me, and I don't want to look too old fashioned which is what usually happens if I buy from high street stores.

I am so pleased that you like the look of the Tiana B range, I love these dresses. With the dress being a key look this season its well worth buying into this trend, as far as being a full figured girl you shouldn’t be afraid of prints.

What I would suggest is, if you would like to dip your toes into the Tiana B range you could opt for the Tiana B pleated dress (right). It has a splash of colour in the form of embroidery around the neckline which gives you the option to pull out one of the colours to work with your accessories. I suggest you try the 2XL which should be a relaxed comfortable shape on you whilst still being flattering.

Another suggestion would be to bite the bullet and try the Tiana B paisley printed dress. It's a combination of red and black paisley with a black trim around the v-neck, cuffs and hem and will look great teamed with opaque black tights, or to dress it up opt for sheer ones.

Do let me know how you get on Alison.

I have ordered a Centigrade faux fur coat from Monday's evening show on special offer (124613), but unfortunately when it came in a medium it was like a tent on me, even though I am usually a size 14. Would the smallest size fit me or would it be too big? I'm 5ft 7", 35DD, have a 27" waist and 35" hips. Lesley.

Unfortunately I think the small size in the Centigrade coat will still be too big which is a shame as it’s a fab winter warmer. I normally recommend adding around five - six inches to your normal bust size to achieve a good silhouette, so with that in mind I think you should take a look at faux shearling coat (left) - this is one of my favourite Centigrade coats.

It’s a shorter length than the one you initially ordered but will still do the job of keeping you as warm as toast. On the plus side this coat is unbelievably chic and looks extremely expensive especially in the Taupe and Chocolate. Hope this is of help to you.

I'm really getting into the Christmas spirit!

2009-11-02T15:52:23+00:00

Hi fashion lovers,

After my first Christmas gift show last Saturday, I'm really getting into the Christmas spirit! On the train home I started to think about our Christmas menu and decided that when I got home I would start to experiment with the starter….

Here’s what I came up with - a gazpacho base with a white crab meat centre, topped with avocado guacamole and deep-fried Japanese bread-crumbed king prawns. It's then finished with a drizzle of mango vinaigrette with groundnut oil, ginger, chilli and lime juice. What do you think?! There's a photo on the right, but it's not that clear sorry!I tested the recipe out on my son Ali who gave the thumbs up. I'll let you know how the menu progresses!

In the meantime if you fancy a fashion fix catch the Fashion Gift show at 12 o’clock tomorrow - I'll be with you with some Style Inc and also Deerstag slippers. Also look out for the Pure & Simple Pashminas as they make fabulous Christmas gifts for loved ones.

I'd love to know what you'll be cooking over the festive period, let me know what you're doing and we can inspire each other!

Nab yourself an Indigo Moon bargain!

2009-10-30T16:53:12+00:00

Hi fashion lovers,

Exciting news! We have some great Indigo Moon shows coming up today and tomorrow (2nd and 3rd November), and as it's their 7th anniversary, everything is going to be at Anniversary Price! So you can pick up some fab pieces for Christmas at a bargain price!

I caught up with our Indigo Moon guest, Denise, to have a chat about the fashion range and about the lady herself...

What's your favourite part about coming to QVC and do you have a favourite presenter you like to work with?

The best bit about coming to QVC is that it's like a home-coming - it's just one big family. The sense of belonging is overwhelming. All the presenters are fab! I particularly like the fact I can chat to all of them, have a moan and have a laugh, which we do, often!
Have you got any style tips for the festive party season?
First and foremost choose a colour you love and feel empowered in - it is most important. Red is an obvious choice, closely followed by purples and teals - any jewel colour is really good and very rich and Christmassy.

What do you want to be under your Christmas tree this year?

How lovely it is on Christmas morning to wake up and finally open gifts that have been tantalising you for days! This year we shall be 'Down Under' so who knows? Maybe a bikini!

What can we expect from the collections on Monday and Tuesday?

The range has really developed since I came on board, I can't believe I am saying that because Indigo Moon is so varied anyway. But Julia continues to surprise us with such gorgeous fabrics and spectacular colours and embellishments. The Monday and Tuesday shows are full of exquisite jackets and must-have jersey wear.

Tell us a little about what makes Indigo Moon special

Indigo Moon has the X factor. It somehow has that edge over other brands. I think it's to do with the fact that Julia (the designer) was an artist and that gives us a unique slant on fashion that you simply can't get on the high street.

I hope you can join me for the shows today at 11am, 4pm and 9pm and Tuesday at 10am and 6pm.

Love Denise AKA 'Miss Moon' xx
