Antonella

I could never stand watching Antonella hosting a show. I am sure she is a lovely and sweet person but I just could not stand all that cackling and laughing that she would do constantly and for no reason. Well, today I wanted to watch the Clarks show and she was hosting. I was so amazed at the turn-around she has made. It was actually a pleasure to watch her. She was low-key, no constant laughing and cackling, let Jamie talk about the shoes without interrupting. Wow - Antonella was a class act today and I was so pleasantly surprised. I hope she keeps it up.

i find that she's more animated and laughs a lot when she does jewelry shows, but i think it's because her love of jewelry gets her all excited and giddy. when she does fashion, that's where i like her style of hosting. it's honest and down to earth and i just enjoy it.

I enjoy Antonella hosting fashion she is honest about her sizing and makes informative comments. And she does let the vendor speak. She was also very good when paired with Valerie Parr Hill, she let Valerie share her tips....and was genuinely enthusiastic about the decor pieces. She has done a good job on many shows.....

I actually sat thru the Clarks 2 hour show today - hosted by Antonella and Amy (Clarks). I found it relaxing and enjoyable. Unfortunately, Clarks shoes need a total makeover --- the sizing is way off, they keep showing the same old, same old, and many of their shoes get BAD reviews. Tired of Clarks - although I have many pairs - from the past.

I recently ordered 2 pairs - one from the Q and the other from Zappos --- both went back. What's going on????? Clarks need to move their manufacturing back to England - using the sizing as in the past - like 20 yrs ago.

And I'd like to add to your post -- she's very truthful about what size she wears -- which I appreciate because then I can tell if that clothing item is cut well for me a plus sized (1x) woman!!!

@kivah

You are 100% right about Clarks!!! I ordered my normal size 10 - love the shoe but I need to wear a sock well I can barely get them on let alone try with a sock. I'm trying to wear them around the house to see if they'll stretch a bit (wanted them for a trip in October up North where can't wear my flip flops😉)

I was at Clark store today - same thing. So went to Ecco and love their shoes are European sizing (of course more money) I bought a "41" = 10-10.5 their shoes fit great!!!

@homedecor1

shoes have to fit me properly as soon as try them on --- or back they go. You can't make them fit and be comfortable. Send them back - and it's good that u went to a store to get the right fit. Clarks sizing is unreal -- can't imagine Amy from Clarks practically swearing about the fit and comfort.

I have around 75 pairs of shoes - mostly Clarks, Rykas and Birkenstocks - most of them OLD!!!!. So - I really don't need any more shoes. If I did, I would head to a store in my area.

I wear 6-1/2 or 7 wide -- and most of the time, stores don't carry many wides.

@kivah

since I've worn vionic flip flops so long (rarely closed shoes living in FL) my feet have become wider! Reason: no support I'm sure!

anyway, I have Clarks from many moons ago & they fit fine - you are right about that!

yes, probably dumb thinking they would stretch out a bit😲 I just love the look Sadly, I'm thinking better head to your advice ...hate cost me $15 to "try on"! Ugh.....😤😤😤😤

I love her happy go lucky attitude and spirit! She just seems to be the most joyful, easygoing person around!! The vendors seems to enjoy working with her. I loved her show with the Copper Chef guy.....so amusing!

She is the real deal. Enjoyed watching her with Susan Graver last night. She jokingly told Susan on several occasions to let her go through the colors and give information, to stay on track, and to keep her bit short as they were going through clearance items very quickly. She did a good job and Susan seemed to appreciate her.

@Daysdee Yes, she was on In The Kitchen With Mary today, and I really enjoyed her questions. Not everyone is a foodie, so her questions are helpful. Also, she is willing to jump in to taste or use whatever is being demonstrated. I enjoy her reactions and find them helpful. My DH isn't crazy about her, however. But he can always check the insides of his eyelids

@Catch71

I saw that show and that was funny how Antonella reeled Susan in because it was clearance and limited so the producer only gave them so much time to present an item ...too funny A very difficult task indeed and Antonella did it with warmth and humor and Susan didnt seem to mind on bit..........although on anothr item she squealed a bit and had to hold back

It's still better to return the shoes and pay $15 than to get stuck with uncomfortable shoes or shoes that are too big or small. Today I'm wearing a pair of Clarks clogs (accordion heel) that I purchased from the Q around 8 yrs ago. They're 7 wide and fit perfectly. They don't make their shoes like they used to. Maybe one day, Clarks will wake up and go back to being the "go-to shoe company" again.

Antonella is one of the few hosts I enjoy. Her laughter and smiling face doesn't bother me at all and in fact I think it uplifting. Growing up in an Italian family (my fathers side) I had a few Antonella's sitting around the kitchen table talking about life, laughing and sharing a tear or two. I'm sure Antonella would have fit it and experiences the same in her family. She brings me down family memory lane!!!
