Hi fashion fans,
To celebrate Designer Day today and a Today's Special Value from one of our most fabulous designers, I caught up with the lovely Lulu Guinness to talk handbags and more...
Tell us about your inspiration for Today's Special Value bag
Today's Special Value boasts our new best-selling shape - the Romilly. I've created it in a new fabric and in new colours that are just for QVC customers!
What would you choose to wear it with? And which celeb would you like to see wearing it?
I would wear my black Moschino dress with it - classic and simple so the bag really makes a statement. Lauren Laverne always looks great and is a huge Lulu fan so I could definitely see her wearing it!
What types of bags will we be seeing this season?
The theme for our current collection is London Calling and features lots of Union Jack bags and British themed-designs, so the perfect accessory for the party season would be one of my bags that incorporate this, with a touch of added sparkle.

Hi all you food lovers,
My first love is fashion but I also have a passion for food and cooking, so on the back of last weekend I just thought I would let you know how my prep and sample recipes are going for the Christmas period. I prepared these mussels (below) on Saturday evening with a view to serving them for family and friends on Christmas Eve.
Here’s my recipe...
Sautée one banana shallot in unsalted butter. Once soft and translucent add a diced knuckle of ginger, half a chopped chilli and one chopped clove of garlic.
After a couple of minutes add a glass of crisp dry white wine, bring to the boil add your scrubbed and de-bearded mussels (make sure they are all closed before you put them in) put the lid on and steam until all the mussels are open. This should take around four to five minutes.

Hi fashion fans,
As you know I've really been getting into the Christmas spirit, and so I asked some of the presenters about what they'll be wearing on Christmas day and if they've made any funny festive fashion mistakes…
So what will you be wearing on Christmas day this year?
Debbie F: Oh hopefully something smaller than I’m wearing right now! Diet Chef is on the horizon!!
Jilly: Hopefully PJs until at least 1pm!
Debbie G: An apron as I spend so much time cooking!
Alison Y: I don't dress up on Christmas Day - I'm running round like crazy. So I start in jodhpurs and pretty much stay in jodhpurs. I'll also be wearing odd socks with holes in guaranteed, unless someone has bought me new socks and then I'll be wearing those.

Hi there,
A few of you posted questions on the blog, I hope my answers help!
This question is from Alison Crawford and is quite a common issue for larger women...
I am a size 20 (22 - 24 in coats and dresses) and I would like to buy a dress for myself but am a good old-fashioned 'apple' with a large chest. I like the look of the Tiana B range but am not sure which dress would be suitable for me, also being a big girl patterns and striped frighten me, and I don't want to look too old fashioned which is what usually happens if I buy from high street stores.
I am so pleased that you like the look of the Tiana B range, I love these dresses. With the dress being a key look this season its well worth buying into this trend, as far as being a full figured girl you shouldn’t be afraid of prints.
