I'm never watching the X Factor again!

Hi all ,

Is it just me or is the X Factor meant to be a singing competition? I sat for the first time this weekend and watched both shows - it was a travesty that the great performers in the bottom two had to sing for their supper.  At the end of the show on Sunday evening I vowed never ever to sit through that again, how do you feel about it?

How do you manage your weekend viewing, do you surf between QVC and your other favourite channels or do you wait for breaks?

On a fashion point, I ordered a pair of black patent Clarks loafers for my lovely wife Sue last week, which by the way are adored by the girls at Grazia and Vogue (they've said that the Clarks loafer is one of the coolest around).

When Sue received her parcel she was very pleased and now a week later has decided to order another pair of the same for work, as they are unbelievably comfortable and work well with her cropped trousers, shift dresses and opaque tights.

The second pair is for the weekends with her skinny jeans and oversized knitwear.  I have always said if you find something you like don’t be afraid of buying more than one, for example I have at least eight navy blue cardigans all from the same shop and all exactly the same style.
Do you have more than one of the same item? Let me know.

Love Glen

Wrap up in cosy Modern Soul

Hi fashion lovers,

It's official - winter is here! The clocks go back this weekend which means dark mornings and cold frosty nights. Just in time for the change in conditions is Modern Soul’s 6th anniversary. Modern Soul knitwear is a great way to add an extra layer and give you a little extra heat in the colder months. 

As it’s their 6th anniversary, you'll be able to take advantage of Anniversary Prices on selected pieces, Easy Pay instalments, brand-new items as well as some Modern Soul classics. Join me at 1pm and 8pm tomorrow for two hours of fun fashion to help you deal with the winter blues. 

Let’s all get wrapped up for winter!

See you tomorrow,

Love Glen x

It's time to get gorgeous!

Hi fashion lovers,

Our Get Gorgeous event starts tonight at 10pm, and I will be joining you on Sunday morning at 9am with Max New York handbags. I'll also be popping in and out throughout the day with different ranges for you to see - it’s a great opportunity for all you style-conscious ladies to sit back and look forward to pampering yourselves to look fabulous throughout the winter.

I'm very excited about the Today’s Special Value launching midnight on Sunday into Monday. It’s my first centigrade TSV for the winter months - it's a faux shearling mid-length coat that comes in three fabulous colours. It has a great weight that will work right the way through the winter season as well as being chic, stylish and comfortable. You'll be able to throw it into the washing machine so no specialist dry cleaning bills! The price is a very affordable too - wow did you think I was going to spoil the surprise?!

Join me at midnight on Sunday and I’ll reveal all. In the meantime don’t forget to Get Gorgeous!

Don't miss Sunday's Fashion Day

Hi fashion lovers,

Fashion day this Sunday is going to be so exciting as we have Dennis Basso's TSV and I've already spotted 45 brand-new goodies that definitely deserve a place in your wardrobe! The day is going to be full of stylish separates and versatile pieces that will coordinate to create a fabulous winter wardrobe.

 Your feet are going to be as warm as toast in Emu footwear, as well as the Naturalizer shoe range. It was founded in 1927 - it’s a real heritage brand that’s massive in the States and set to be big over here.

It’s all about quality and comfort with a sprinkling of style. We also have the eclectic mix that Butler & Wilson brings to QVC, and a little bit of Parisian chic from Canisse - a fabulous boutique range that’s in its second season here at QVC (although the brand has been around for 25 years).

We also have some easy separates from Nina Leonard and great handbags from B Makowsky. As you can see there is a nice mix of strong designers to help you build that fabulous winter wardrobe.

Happy shopping, can’t wait to show you all the fab new looks.

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...

Kim Parrish shares her autumn fashion tips and tricks

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!!

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.

Meet Amy - our guest for the Pre-Season Autumn Fashion event

As I've hurt my back and can't host the Pre-Season Autumn Fashion event, we are lucky enough to have Amy Garcia joining us. I had a chat with her about her handbag must-haves and her fashion icons...

G: Are you looking forward to coming to QVC?

Yes I can't wait - I love working at QVC, it's such a great team. 

G: Have you been a guest before?

For five years I've been a guest for Kim & Co when the designer can't make it over from Canada, and most recently for Katherine Kirkwood. I always look forward to working with the stylists on new season trends, it's great fun.

Meet Genevieve - our guest for the Pre-Season Autumn Fashion event

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.

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.
