Name: Amanda Liptock

Age: 27

Hometown: Yardley, PA  

Years at QVC: 3.5! Time flies

What other QVC shows do you work(ed) on?:  

The Thursday 9am Susan Graver show & the Friday 1pm IML Show are my static shows. I have also worked on LOGO, D&CO, Fashion's Night Out, Spring Designer Preview. I also style the models for jewelry event days. Needless to say, there is never a dull moment here at the Q.

Styling with Susan Graver

What is your favorite color for spring/summer 2015?:

Yellow! It makes such a bold statement & there are so many great shades of color to play with. It also makes me happy.

What is your favorite fashion trend for 2015?:
I am loving the active wear trend! I love the idea of pairing a sporty looking jacket or top with a skinny, more feminine jean & strappy heel or sandal. I am also big on being fashionable, yet comfortable! Active wear is my go to attire, even when I am not working out.  

What is your least favorite fashion trend of 2015?:

I’ve never really been a fan of a wide leg jean/trousers. It covers the shoe! A shoe should never be covered… especially a good shoe!

What is your style philosophy?:

It is all about experimenting! I love playing with different patterns, textures & prints. Styling is like creating artwork. It’s fun to try different things and break some rules. When all is said and done, it’s about confidence. I feel a woman can make any outfit work as long as she is confident.

All fancy with my boyfriend, Matt

What designers inspire you?:
I love the creativity behind Marc Jacobs, the classic American designs of Michael Kors & the feminie yet sexy styles of Stella McCartney

What are your top three current favorite QVC fashion/accessory items?:

I love Sole Society, orYANY bags & LOGO. I am a sucker for detail and all 3 of these brands add little touches to simple designs that make them stand out.

What are your favorite tv shows?:

I don’t watch a ton of TV, but Project Runway always holds my interest. I recently got into 'Game of Thrones' & I can always count on 'The Tonight Show' for a good laugh.

What is your guilty pleasure?:

Cheese and Wine…  and chocolate!

What do you like to do when you are not styling for QVC?:
I love spending time with the people that matter most to me; my family, my friends and my boyfriend. I am the happiest when I am with them. I have an extremely loving and supportive family and my friends are like a second family to me. I also love going to concerts, working out and I love to cook! I love to travel too! I have been fortunate within the past two years as I have been to Italy, Paris & London.

My first time in Paris

My brother, me, my sister and my Dad

If you could dress any celebrity, who would it be?:
This is a tough one…I love a challenge so I would have to say Christina Aguilera. But for a celebrity that will look good in anything, I’d say Kate Hudson or Jennifer Lawrence.

What was your first job?:

I was a grocery bagger at our local food store. I guess I was destined to be around bags Ha!

What is your favorite food?
Anyone that knows me, knows I love to eat! I love seafood, especially when my step-dad cooks it!

Indulging with girlfriends

What is your favorite quote?:
“Surround yourself with people who make you laugh” – my mom. She has been telling me this for as long as I can remember.

My best friend, my Mom

What is your hidden talent and/or something most people don't know about you?:

I am ambidextrous! I write with my right hand but throw with my left… I guess that’s cool, right?! I also have quite the blended family; stepparents, step siblings, along with my own siblings. I am pretty fortunate that I am close with all “4” of my parents and my siblings mean the world to me.

What is your dream vacation?:

Somewhere in the Greek Isles. I would want to stay in one of those cute little white houses surrounded by the bluest water like you see in the pictures.

Three words to describe yourself:

Creative, Ambitious, Curious

What would you be doing if you weren't a QVC fashion stylist?:

I would have to be in the creative field .... either designing, freelance styling, or I would own my own boutique. I really cannot see myself in any other industry.

What's your favorite thing in your closet right now?:

I bought this skirt last year from Express. I was hesitant at first but I am so glad I did. I love pairing it with a more casual tank/tee for an everyday look, or dressing it up with a black top so it looks like a dress 

Isn't Amanda just tot' adorbs?!
