In answer to Jan's question...

Hi Glen,

It's good to get style tips for us top heavy girls Glen but can you suggest ways of getting round the restricted choice?  I have a wardrobe full of v necks. I would love to wear scarves but I just feel and look like a trussed turkey up top.  Any suggestions please?

Jan Kitching

Hi Jan,

For you and all other the top-heavy girls out there you can sometimes get stuck in a rut and stick with one style.  There isn’t a problem with V-neck tops but what I would suggest is you try layering in contrasting colours.

For example a red v-neck top underneath a black v-neck cardigan - you should fasten two or three buttons around your bust allowing a splash of red to come out at the top and bottom. The darker cardigan will reduce the bust while the splash of colour will draw the eye in.

You should also play around with cowl necks, boat necks or any other top that has detailing around the shoulders and neckline. Take a look at the Kim & Co range, she has over a hundred tops for you to look at.

As far as scarves go they are still a hot trend that you should work with.  As far as feeling trussed up you should be wrapping the scarf around your neck and tying it in a loose knot at the front. Once you have done that put your hand in the loop around your neck and give it a wiggle to loosen the effect so that you can see the length of your neck with the folds of fabric draping loosely.

Hope this helps Jan,

Love Glen x

I loved watching Fashion Day

Hi fashion lovers,

Did you enjoy fashion day as much as I did? It was fun to sit and watch at home for a change, just to see how the collections looked on screen. Drop me a line if it kick-started your autumn wardrobe last week. And what were your choice buys?

Kim Mendleson is in the UK right now and if you're relatively new to QVC I thought I better let you know that she is one of our most favourite - she brings versatility, ease of wear and comfort to the Kim & Co range.

On Monday we have two shows from B Makowsky at 11am and 8pm. The simple-chic and luxurious range of bags have a subtle elegance that is easy to wear and never ostentatious - true timeless classics.

Lastly I've posted a couple of my holiday pictures from the beautiful Cornwall (above and right).

Lots of love and see you soon,

Renee from Attitudes by Renee talks about today's TSV

Renee Greenstein, founder of Attitudes by Renee, designed Today's Special Value, and I caught up with her to find out about her inspiration and a little bit about the woman behind the fiesty brand...

G: What do you love about designing women's clothing?

R: I love to design comfortable and great fitting clothes - when you feel good you look good… and you have ATTITUDE!

G: Do you have any top style tips for us?

R: My formula is that you are the canvas and your clothes should enhance your beauty.

G: How did you get into fashion design?

R: We all have our childhood dreams and I was lucky enough to be able to live mine. My dreams of the fashion industry led me to New York City where I started my career as a fittings model in the apparel industry.

Countless hours and fittings gave me a front row seat experiencing how designers and patternmakers turn out a product. I took this knowledge and worked all aspects in the industry to hone my skills. It was at this time that I realised a lot of manufacturers were not giving customers what they actually wanted. This idea struck me as extremely profound and became the underlying theme behind my goals in the industry.

G: Describe yourself in three words.

R: Diva with Attitude, confident and spiritual.

G: What inspired you when designing Today's Special Value?

R: My inspiration for all of my collections is versatility and comfort! And of course… attitude!

G: When can you wear it?

R: This is a 12 month, 24/7 garment. Imagine this over our Women with Control cami and a great pair of trousers to wear to the office. You can team it with a T-shirt and jeans for a more casual look, or layer over a turtle neck when its cold for a pop of colour! Or imagine you're on holiday and you step off the beach in this wonderful cover up. And lastly you can wear it over your little dress when going out on the town!

G: Tell us about the Woman with Control camisole that you can buy with the TSV.

R: The Women with Control cami is the perfect garment for that smooth look under your jacket or under your new long shirt. The smooth liner gives you great figure control - like I always say, every woman wants control!

You can check out today's TSV on the web, or join Renee at 12am, 11am and 2pm on QVC TV.

Tomorrow is Autumn Fashion Day!

Hi fashion lovers,

I’m back in lovely Yorkshire after a fab break in Cornwall (see the photo on the right), I will post some more holiday snaps in the next few days. Its Fashion Day tomorrow and it's the first one I will miss in seven years (still waiting for the all-clear from my back man), but I'm looking forward to watching the day from your perspective.

A catch up with Diane Gilman - our Fashion Day guest

We're lucky enough to have leading fashion designer Diane Gilman joining us for Autumn Fashion Day and sharing her DG2 collection. I had a chat with her to find out a little about the woman behind the brand and the HUGE rock stars she's designed for...

G: We heard you've designed for some big rock and roll stars.. tell us about them?

I was part of Woodstock and the Monterey Jazz/Rock Festival. I designed for Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Cher, Deep Purple and many more. It was a very exciting time both for music and fashion.

G: Are you looking forward to our Autumn Fashion Day?

I'm so looking forward to it and I feel so honoured to be working with such talented people. Autumn is my most favourite season of the year. A change of season is always exciting, but especially autumn - I just love the sunny but cool crisp days.
