My outerwear picks for autumn and winter

Hi fashion fans,

Ever had the problem of buying a jacket for autumn and then having to get a warmer one for winter? Well we have the solution - don't miss our Today's Special Value on Friday 18th September.

I can't say too much, but it has a snug and cosy faux-fur lining that can be removed when the weather is a little warmer - perfect for autumn and winter!

As it seems that summer is well and truly behind us, I've started to think about this season's outerwear. I've chosen my top picks here, and there are styles to suit all shapes and tastes...

Worried about baring your legs this summer?

OK its official, summer time began last week as the school holidays started! This means quieter roads, relaxed lazy days sitting in the garden watching the little ones play, taking trips to the park and the all-important fun day out by the seaside.

In terms of fashion it’s definitely the sandals' time to shine. We have over 100 styles for you to choose from, check out our range and treat your tootsies to some glorious sunshine.

How to dress for the garden party season

Hi all,

With Wimbledon in full swing and the garden party under way, it’s all about looking chic and stylish while being comfortable and relaxed at the same time. Florals are just perfect for this time of year as they are pretty, feminine and are suitable for all occasions.

I like the Kim & Co Magnolia Print Dress - it’s fresh and vibrant whilst still being extremely comfortable - perfect for sitting down on a picnic rug as it holds its shape all day long.

As we can’t guarantee the weather is going to be fantastic all day long you will definitely need some sort of cover up. Take a look at the Kim Parish Edge to Edge Cardigan - it’s chic, elegant and won’t be crumpled when you take it out of your summer tote bag. Take a look at our tote bag collection there's a good few to choose from, and great for carrying those summer essentials.

Style spy: Claudia Sylvester

Hello everyone,

Earlier this week I ran into the lovely Claudia. She was sporting a very on-trend animal-print dress (right), so I took a few snaps to show you.

Her sleek and simple black dress has a subtle animal print, which is still making its mark this summer, but in more muted and neutral tones.

Clever dressing is key...

Claudia is a busy working woman, and she believes the trick is in 'clever dressing'. One-piece outfits are quick and hassle free, and can be easier to accessorise than a two-piece outfit.

"The only worry is the all-important shoes," Claudia added. Claudia chose kitten heels giving the outfit a smart and professional look.

Accessories make an outfit...

Claudia has finished her outfit perfectly with Honora pearl jewellery (left). Pearls give the outfit a chic and elegant look without looking as if she has tried too hard. Claudia informed me that no girl is ready to face the day without her lipgloss, and I spied a Bare Escentuals gloss in her stylish Stone Mountain bag.

My time in the BAFTA Style Suite

Hi fashion lovers,

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.

Recreate Michelle Obama's chic style

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.

Style spy: Alison Keenan

Hi all,

I bumped into Alison K catching up on some work and running a few errands around QVC Towers. As she was looking rather chic, I snapped a few sneaky pics to show you how you can recreate Alison's laid-back look.

Alison is wearing a chic, longer-length black jumper paired with  faded black jeans. But what makes the outfit special are her accessories - Ali has paired the jeans with high-heeled, black knee-length boots which not only add height and give the illusion of longer legs, but also give the outfit a sassy twist.

To give the jumper some shape, Alison has popped a wide belt on - a good trick for accentuating your waist.

Finally Alison has finished the look with a string of Honora pearls and a Diamonique bracelet.

Alison has kept her make-up simple

A slick of mascara and a dusting of blush give her a fresh-faced glow. Alison recommends using Tova mascara as it doesn't flake and Smashbox blush as the colours are nice and natural.

To recreate Alison's look... go for a longer-length top like this one (right) from Beth Terrell. Pair it with your favourite jeans and knee-high boots. Have a look at Rockport's Archmount boots, as they will give you height as well as being comfy to wear.

Accessorise with a pearl necklace, but go for a steel grey, blue or other dark pearl for a modern twist on classic pearls - have a look at the Honora range. Alison is also wearing an expandable Diamonique bracelet  - perfect for adding a touch of glamour to your outfit,

I'm always on the look out for stylish presenters, so keep an eye out for more style spy coming soon...

Spring fashion trends

Hi fashion fans,

This spring is bursting with lots of fabulous trends, and there's something to suit everyone. Here are the main trends and how to wear them...

Bold colour and asymmetric patterns
Block colours are a big story this spring and summer. They were all over the fashion shows and they're great for getting rid of the dull and dreary winter blues. Influenced by the '60s, the asymmetric trend features bold blocks of colour and striking colour combinations.

How to wear this trend... check out Tiana B's range of dresses. They're all very on trend, as well as being flattering and easy to wear.

Style Spy: Pipa Vanderburg

Hi everyone,

I spotted Pipa catching up on some work recently, looking super stylish. Check out her relaxed winter look. She's sporting some uber-cool Emu boots that not only look fab, but keep her feet snug in the colder weather.

Accessory-wise, Pip's chosen a chunky cocktail ring and a gorgeous Kathy Van Zeeland bag. I'm a big fan of Kathy Van Zeeland bags, they're good quality and always have lovely detailing.

Pip's finished her chilled-out look with a fluffy Dennis Basso shawl. This is a great tip for adding a little glam to an outfit - drape a scarf or shawl around your shoulders for a chic winter look.

I'm always on the look out for well-dressed presenters, so keep your eyes peeled for more Style Spy soon...

Instant winter outfit idea...

If you're looking for an instant winter outfit, look no further…

• Pair this wool-mix cardigan from Modern Soul with this chic Kim & Co skirt for a super-chic, yet practical look.

The cardigan is very versatile and will go with most things in your wardrobe. It's great for keeping away the chills on a cold day, without being too chunky.

A stylish skirt is a winter wardrobe essential, and this Kim & Co number is a winner!
