Re: Jessica Simpson, A Disaster On QVC, Comes To HSN

I must agree with @CatsyCline... I'm not a JS fan, but her line does have some cute shoes on the cheap.  I have and love her Acadia pumps in the cobalt blue suede, and they were only $80.  They have worn well and are very comfortable.  I'm not sure if they're still available, but I highly recommend.  The blue is a bit deeper in person.  I often wear them with a black pencil skirt and white chiffon blouse for a pop of color.  Very nice!  Woman Happy

I saw Serena in the very beginning. She had just started out. Very rough. Haven't seen her lately though.

 

She is more known for tennis,  That's what I think of first. Not fashion.

 

It's just the idea that they pick celebrities and develop a line around the name. Suzanne Somers is another one.

It's all just celebrity merchandising.

Good luck to her, I think she has come a long way from her newlywed days with Nick Lachey and their silly show.....She seems to be quite the business woman and is worth quite a bit of money.....I think she seems very sweet and I think she is very very pretty as well......I will watch and see what she has, her winter coats sold at one of the big department stores here are adorable and reasonably priced too!

Re: Jessica Simpson, A Disaster On QVC, Comes To HSN

I watched one of her presentations a few years back and she was a train wreck.She was showing her shoes and her purses. She did not have a clue about any of her product line. Her mother came rushing out and literally took over the rest of the presentation. If it wasn't so painful to watch it would have been funny. Almost like a SNL skit. She has to have someone running the business for her. Luckily the business is doing well. I have never purchased anything from her line and doubt if I ever will.

I used to buy her shoes, but after I discovered Ivanka Trump pumps, I never looked back.

Ivanka's are much better made and more comfortable for me too.

I feel Jessica held her own next to Nicole Richie and John Varvatos on Fashion Star.  Her label is sold in the Bon Ton department stores and I find the quality good--I recently purchased a pair of her joggers. Her style leans toward bohemian  and fits well with my aesthetic.

  • That 'disaster' at 150 million is laughing all of the way to the bank.  That being said.. She must have wise and savvy people running that mega-million business. 

I I think most of her shoes, as of late, look incredibly tacky.  I have a pair or two of her boots from seasons past and some ballet flats that I love.  The newer offerings look dreadful.

I wish her well !

ITA!   It's a mighty big honor for HSN to have her.   Considering her fashion line net worth, I would guess there's never been a guest of this magnitude on either QVC/HSN.  

 

Wonder why she would go the route of telemarketing when her line is so successful within the B&M world...?


 

 

She wants both b and m and shopping networks.

Re: Jessica Simpson, A Disaster On QVC, Comes To HSN

I think Jessica Simpson is an incredibly beautiful woman, just gorgeous.  She may have performance anxiety, she can be  all over the place in person. I think he clothes and shoes are really cute.  I can't wear them, but they are cute.  Her shoes have a distinctive look about them, like you don't see your self coming and going.  I have never seen her items on TV, only in the stores.  That said, I do not like celebrity labels in my shoes or on my clothes.  I do not like her name written on the sole of shoe.

Those blue pumps are hawt!  She has a nice offering of handbags as well.  The 'disastrous' presentation was almost a decade ago, I think she's rebounded pretty well since then.
