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.

Hi everyone,
A big part of presenting on QVC is working with the models. All our models are lovely and I caught up with the bubbly Sally Rom (right) to find out what it's like to be a QVC model...
What's it like being a model here at QVC?
It's great fun. I work hard but thoroughly enjoy the job. I enjoy live TV because you never know what's going to happen next.
What's your favourite part of the job?
Coming to work at QVC is a real pleasure. I have so many favourite bits but the great family atmosphere and warm friendly people I work with have to be the best parts.
Tell us about a normal day at work...
I arrive at QVC an hour before the live show. In that time I normally get my cuppa and sit in the model room and finalise my hair and make-up. There's usually another model on air with me so a good catch-up happens about now too!

Hi fashion lovers,
With our fabulous Get Gorgeous event starting tonight at 10pm, I had a chat with top stylist Nicky Hambleton-Jones to get her fashion and style tips. Nicky is most well known for presenting the hit show 10 Years Younger, and she now runs her own personal styling business.
What are your top tips for being confident and stylish?
1. Understand your shape - Instead of trying to create a look that will never work you need to accept your shape and really make the most of it.
2. Choose pieces to emphasise your waistline - Create a focal point to balance your figure, making you look taller, slimmer and sexier.
3. Don’t over complicate things - Magazines tend to give you complex end looks and if you try to replicate these you can end up as a fashion victim. Instead make sure your wardrobe features plenty of good well-cut basics, strong colours and statement accessories.

Hi fashion lovers,
Kim Parrish is coming to visit us again this Saturday, so I caught up with her to get her top tips for updating your wardrobe for autumn, the colours you should look out for and what she'll be wearing this season...
1. With autumn just around the corner, what tips do you have for getting our wardrobes ready?
I love autumn fashions and each season I enjoy scheduling a 'date with my wardrobe' for taking stock of what I already own, purging those worn-out and washed-out items and making a list of what I need.
With my wardrobe thinned out, it’s much easier to shop without spending too much or buying a duplicate of something I already own. I would encourage everyone to check their calendars and schedule a date with their wardrobes, making it easier to pull together your autumn shopping list!!

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.

As I've hurt my back and can't host the Pre-Season Autumn Fashion event, we are lucky enough to have Genevieve Redmond joining us. I had a chat with her and found out all about her love of fashion...
G: Are you looking forward to coming to QVC?
I absolutely love coming to QVC, it's like a home from home to me. There is always a great atmosphere, both on set and behind the scenes. I love working on the fashion events as they're great fun and can really inspire everyone to try different styles or wear colours they haven't tried before.

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.

Hi everyone,
We're well into holiday season, and if you're lucky enough to be jetting off you'll have the dreaded packing to face first. Here are a few of my top tips for sensible packing, so you're not struggling with a heavy case.
Lightweight summer dresses are a must as you can wear them during the day and in the evening too. One-piece dressing takes the stress out of choosing what to wear, so dresses are just perfect for summer holidays. Tiana B does a great selection of colourful and on-trend dresses that are great for holidays.
