I was involved in the Style Suite for the BAFTAs, and knew you'd love to know how it went.
For those of you that don't know, the Style Suite is where celebs, producers and directors come in and borrow jewellery, or else get some styling advice for the big night.
All of the jewellery was from 'The Collection' by QVC, and I must say there were some fabulous pieces on offer.
Last week Rose left a comment asking about how to dress her figure. She has a large bust and a smaller bottom half. This is a common issue for women, so I thought I'd give you some tips and tricks on how to flatter your figure.
The essentials…
Most importantly, a good supportive bra is your number one essential. Without this clothes will not work as well.
Next you need clothes that separate and define your waist from your bust. This will instantly make a difference, and will show off your womanly shape.
Hi all,
As promised here are some more answers to your questions, I hope they are of some help.
I need to know if item number 137336 (IM jacket winter white) would work with item number 137841 and 128691 (Kim & Co top and trousers in the Praline colour.
Linda
Hi Linda,
The colours will work beautifully together - with the neutral tones of the Kim & Co jersey top and trousers and the statement detail of the Indigo Moon jacket. Is this outfit for a special occasion? Do let me know.

Hi there,
If you're a fan of Kim & Co you will probably know that there is a TSV coming up on Friday. If you're new to QVC, Kim & Co is one of our most popular ranges and features stylish and affordable fashion.
Friday's TSV is a bold, colourful, abstract-print top that's perfect for a relaxed smart-casual look. There's also a pair of cropped trousers that you can purchase to complete your outfit. They're available in solid colours to complement the top and are perfect for all you petite ladies who I know have trouble with full-length trousers.
Happy Shopping!

Hi everybody,
Sometimes it can be overwhelming when all the new fashion trends start at the beginning of the season. But one of the easiest ways to buy into a trend and update your look is the all-important IT bag. A bag is an easy way to bring an outfit up to date.
With that in mind you must check out the brand new and exciting range of handbags by Maxx New York. I went through the collection on Monday and loved the look and vibe of this fun new range.
So come and join Daniel and myself at 3pm tomorrow for the premier show, and see if you love the bags as much as I do.

Hi everyone,
Hope you're all well. If you've posted a question on the blog recently, check out my answers below. If yours isn't here, don't worry, I'll be answering more next week.
Will you ask all the lovely presenters to give the sizes of garments ASAP especially when there is a one time only.
Norma Peters
We do try our best to give the sizes as soon as we can, but sometimes it isn't possible. But I will pass on your comments to the rest of the presenters.
I am enjoying my faux sherling coat by centigrade item no 141349 so much I wondered if Glen would think it was possible if I bought another one to cut it to make it into a thigh length jacket?
Gay Codd
Yes you could probably take off about 38cm - 43cm (15" - 17") if you're good with a sewing machine. But to be safe, it would be a good idea to get it professionally altered. You'd get great results and it wouldn't be too expensive.
I am having great difficulty in finding jeans to fit me, even though I would say I am average height and build, being 5ft 7inch and between sizes 14 and 16. I find that jeans that say they fit the natural waist don't in my case, and they're never high enough in the rise and therefore too small around the hips. Would the Diane Gilman range be suitable for me, and if so do these jeans sit on the waist?
Yes, I think the Diane Gilman range would be good for you. Her jeans do sit on the waist, and they're great as they have a fashion edge. The pockets on Diane's jeans are placed very well too, so they will flatter your bottom.
When oh when are you going to start mens clothing shows?
Can I suggest that shirts, leisure wear, outdoor and jackets would be a good start.
I understand that QVC USA offer mens clothing, why not here?
I've desperately wanted to do a menswear range here at QVC for a long time! It's something I'm pushing for, so I will keep you updated.
Am very pleased to hear that petite ranges may be on their way. Meanwhile, I understand that 7/8th trousers are hot for this summer. Can I wear them as full length given am only 5' 2"? Or would it spoil the design cos they would look like 7/8ths on a very short person? Am size 14 so not a skinny petite (wish I was lol).
You could absolutely wear these trousers - they would look like a great pair of full-length, tailored trousers on you.
I love to be trendy and like the bold colours and patterns of the Tiana B dresses, but at 73 years old I haven't the legs now to wear short clothes. What can I do about the bottom half??
Aren't Tiana B dresses fabulous! Opaque tights are a good solution for you, or you could always wear the dress as a tunic with some 7/8th trousers (the latest trouser look for spring and summer) and a belt to cinch in your waist.
Can you tell me why there is such a big difference between large and XL in measurements sometimes? It makes it impossible to purchase many items as one is too small and the next too big because there can be as much as 5" difference. When I first started buying fashion a garment went up by just 2", which was great.
With XS - L sizes there's generally a 2" difference between them, however with the larger sizes there does seem to be a trend for a bigger difference between the two. Have a look at the Kim & Co range as I believe there isn't such a big difference in the larger sizes.
Hiya,
Did you have a nice weekend?
Wednesday 8th April is Best of British Day on QVC and to celebrate we have a really special Today's Special Value that I just had to tell you about.
It's a Lulu Guinness bag that's been designed especially for QVC. I love it, it's bang on trend and comes in three fabulous colours. I can't tell you too much more, but Lulu's previous shows have been very popular, so make sure you join us on Wednesday to check it out.
We're also showcasing a gorgeous Nails Inc set to coordinate with the bag, so you can get an uber-chic matching look.
If you don't know, Lulu Guinness is a top British designer whose bags are carried by celebrities the world over. Her bags are very glamorous and can transform an outfit! Have a look at her range of bags and purses and you'll see what I mean.

If you've been watching the news recently you will have spotted the uber-cool and relaxed style of Michelle Obama. Michelle is really rocking the cardi on her visit to the UK. She teams them with A-line skirts and camisole tops or 'column of colour' dresses topped off with the all-important pearl necklace.
To recreate her style check out our cardigan department, in particular look at Cashmasoft's three-piece top and cardi set, or Charlotte Tarantola's kitten-print cardi or the Dolce Carbo beaded cardigan.
Michelle Obama knows how to flatter her figure, and she often opts for a slimming A-line skirt. Take a look at Susan Graver's Lustra-Knit skirt or George Simonton's take on the A-line - the Fit & Flare skirt.
To complete the look it has to be set a Honora pearls. Pearls are chic and elegant as well as being relaxed and comfortable. If they're good enough for the Palace and No.10, pearls will take you anywhere.
Who's style do you admire? Let me know by leaving a comment below.

I know many of you have asked about QVC offering a petite range, so I spoke to the buyers on your behalf about this, and they told me that they are aware of the need for a petite range and are looking into it for you.
I will keep you updated on any progress.
