In Fashion Talk, All About Accessories, All About Handbags The weather is finally warming up! One of my favorite things about spring style is the introduction to pops of color.

It’s the season of the illusion. The unexpected illusion of seeing through fabric or an unexpected cut out. Of course, you don't really want to sho...

(March 8, to be specific!) However, I think we're finishing with a bang. The show this week could be titled, "Leather & Lace," (move over Stevie Nicks). And, with these being two of the biggest trends for the fall season, we're definitely covering them in this show.
One thing I think every woman would love to have in her wardrobe is luxury leather. Not your basic good value, but a real splurge. There's a reason that high-end European designers make them a sta...

I started collecting Vera before they were offered at the Q. My daughters, Lauren and Chelsea, and I have quite a collection of wristlets, totes, weekenders, and handbags. We've also enjoyed giving them as gifts. I think a handbag is more than just a way to carry your stuff. It expresses your mood, style, and attitude.

Mark Zunino, Wendy Williams, Camila Alves, gosh...I’m still pinching myself. While some were old friends, most were new faces, and as a result, I have a few new favorite designers…one of whom is Rachel Pally.
Rachel has this incredible way of fusing simplicity and glamour, which makes virtually all of her pieces perfect for everyday or dressy occasions. Perhaps it’s that she’s a true California girl with inherent style savvy. But she says her inspiration actually came from her days ...

I think sometimes we think we have to choose. And I think sometimes "strong" can be confused with not looking feminine, but I disagree. When I think with the fashion of today, we can be both, and if we want to be our best, we should embrace it.
They say you never have a second chance to make a first impression, and a lot of that first impression is the visual of how we "carry" ourselves, and what we wear.

As is the story I'm about to tell you.
When QVC approached me and asked to do a blog about Dooney & Bourke, I thought to myself, "Oh, no. Barbie X." That's what I'll call she who shall not be named for the duration of this blog entry.

These gentleman took the European concept of luxury as a starting point and went on to infuse it with an energy and point of view that makesit uniquely American. I like to think of Ralph Lauren as creating the design heritage, and Michael Kors as making it look like it just got off a private plane. Their looks are a mix of elements: always elegant, a little unexpected, and never "paint by number." I like to study them, whether I'm wearing them or ...

The right summer dress is much more flattering than shorts, covers a multitude of sins in the "cellulite and/or I didn't have time to shave today" categories, and draws attention to the upper body, where most women are naturally leaner.
There are some good rules to remember when choosing a great summer dress.
Do:
Find a style that works with a traditional bra if you're not comfortable wearing a strapless bra on long, hot summer days.
Find a good convertible bra to give you as many options on necklines as ...

The "red lip look" from last week, takes a number of steps, and there were a lot of questions on how to do a quick lip, if you still want visual impact. So in this week's video, Albany and I discuss a quick, out-the-door look that you can do at a stop light if you have to!
I will not be surprised if I see Albany trying lip stain. She seemed genuinely interested. I used It Cosmetics’ “Love Story” in the video, just in case you were wondering. I like it becau...

And, while I may not get to answer all your questions here or on Facebook, I promise I'm doing my best. Lately, I've had a lot of questions on the red lip color I've been wearing. It's a combination of Napoleon Perdis and Bare Minerals. I usually start with the Bare Minerals Natural lip liner, apply a few dots of the Napoleon Perdis red gloss, blend it over the entire lip, blot, then apply a sheer Buxom in the center. Sometimes, I use one of the...

This is a crucial part of my job at QVC, but I rarely, if ever, take the “it’s my job” approach.

Hope you are all doing well. It's so cold here in PA at the moment that I'm having a snack of chocolate oatmeal to keep me warm and satisfied as I type. Did you have fun watching the show Monday? These two-hour shows certainly have a different pace about them. Maybe it’s just me, but I felt like I had to read and write faster on Facebook so I could try and get to as many comments as possible since I had an hour less to work with.
