I hope everyone is ok and hasn’t melted away over the last couple of days!!

I hate to complain about the sunshine as it’s been a long wait, but I do think when that heatwave arrives we need to be prepared.

If it’s a fan you’re after, you need to grab one while you can as stocks are depleting rapidly. We have a great choice at the moment from the Dyson cooling tower right down to the Fan U fan offered in three brilliantly priced colours! Also, if you are looking for something somewhere in between check out the Meaco range of fans.

We have both pedestal fans and table top fans, all of which have incredible cooling power to create the perfect temperature inside your home.

Once you get outside however, we have everything you need to create your perfect outdoor living space, including some amazing garden furniture deals. If it’s a little bit of your own space you are after then why not invest in your own garden chair? It’s not as silly as it sounds, as many garden designers will create the family hub garden area but also a zen area with some personal seating, to allow that little bit of escapism in the garden.

The Hanoi swivel seat would be the perfect solution to your quest for a little bit of me time in your very own pod-like creation, giving you maximum comfort whilst adding a contemporary look to your garden, check out the Today’s Special Value price tonight at 9pm or whilst stocks last throughout the day tomorrow.

Now, once you have had your time outdoors, what better way to continue your rockstar existence than stepping inside to be entertained by a brand-new telly?!

If you are looking to upgrade your old television seriously consider Hisense as we highly recommend the brand.

Our Today’s Special Value this weekend, delivers all of the Hisense technology at a sensational price plus you have a choice of either a 50 or 55 inch screen.

You deserve to watch your entertainment in the very best quality and Hisense HD Smart TV technology puts picture and sound first, offering vivid colours, complete clarity and fabulous depth of sound to give you the most immersive experience yet.

With a sleek, bezel-less display, you have all your favourite streaming services and boxsets built right in, giving you quick access to shows, movies, games and much more at the touch of a button.

You might even want to bring your cocoon chair indoors, switch on your Hisense and have the best of both worlds!

Enjoy,

I hope you have all had a fantastic jubilee few days and relaxed into the bank holiday break, however you chose to celebrate it. We had a delightful street party and thoroughly enjoyed touching base with friends and neighbours and catching up on lost time. I know unfortunately the weather wasn’t as good as expected, but apparently the summer sunshine is on its way, so definitely a good time to stock up on some Ultrasun.

If you haven’t tried this incredible sun care range yet, there’s an amazing Ultrasun discovery collection at the moment which gets you a six-piece collection for both face and body for less than £20 (plus P&P)!

Now, if it’s your summer face you are trying to perfect at the moment, then look no further than our stunning Today’s Special Value collection from Laura Geller. The offer runs all day Saturday, or while stocks last, and it’s your complete summer complexion collection!

This five-piece kit covers face, eyes and lips and is designed to give you the perfect summer glowing makeover in just a few simple steps. Join myself and professional make-up artist Sarah Jagger at midninght on Saturday for all the tricks of the trade.

Laura Geller began her make-up career in theatre and television and has been giving women confidence in there makeup now for over 20 years. Laura has a huge following in the make-up industry and has really paved the way with some of her iconic products liked her baked formula’s ‘balance and brighten’ for example and her hero primer Spackle! So don’t miss the opportunity to get your hands on a TSV from one of the best.

Of course, once we have our summer face on, we next turn our attention to hair and I don’t know if you have noticed but the hairdryer market literally has been blown away recently with the arrival of new technology.

I think we have more haircare education now than ever before and understand that the one thing that can do the most damage to our hair is, without a doubt, our  hairdryer. The vast majority of us have been burning our hair for years in an attempt to get a quick blow dry and all we do is ruin our hair and create frizz.

So now in the arena we have the Style iQ from Shark, proving that modern day blow drying is so vital to healthy hair and, no matter what products we go on to use, unless we are willing to invest in our dryers we’ll always be fighting a losing battle, and they can can dry our hair safely in pretty much half the time. I managed the perfect blow dry on my long hair in less than 15 mins! So hotter isn’t always better: it’s all about the airflow.

So the Shark iQ is an outstanding dryer with intelligent heat technology ensuring that burnt, over-dried hair is a thing of the past and, best of all, it’s offered at a price that gives many more people a chance to really see the difference in what investing in great hair care equipment can have on our hair.

Shark’s iQ engineering combines rapid air power with next-generation intelligence, generating high-velocity, heated, ionised air for fast drying with no heat damage.

Effortlessly dry and style all hair types. Enjoy smooth results that feel as good as they look, getting that professional blow dry finish every time at home.

Definitely give it a try, especially at our TSV price, and you can count on QVC to ensure we’ve wrapped up the best Shark deal around, and with our 60-day money-back guarantee you’ll really get a chance to see the difference that the latest advancement in dryers can make to your hair – you’ve nothing to lose but the frizz!

Happy shopping,

The post So long, Jubilee. Hello, Ultrasun, Laura Geller and Shark offers! appeared first on Stories.

Well the sun has been out, half term is on its way and the plans for street parties for the Jubilee weekend are certainly gathering momentum, so there’s no better time to say yes to a dress!

Many of our beloved fashion ranges have some stunning dresses up for grabs, but one of the newer ranges to hit your screens is Finery London. Definitely a range with statement dresses at the forefront, Finery was born back in 2015 but has recently undergone a bit of a re-launch under the guidance of Touker Suleyman of Dragons Den fame.

The fresh re-launch has enabled QVC to be able to offer these superbly designed garments from Finery London at an incredibly competitive price and yet keeping all the quality and finishing of such a premium brand.

A great way to try Finery London would be with our fabulous Today’s Special Value dress running all day on Tuesday at an exquisite price. Offered in stunning contemporary prints, our TSV is designed to fit and flatter, with a beautiful simplistic shape that accentuates the natural waistline and skims the body. Elegantly feminine, the sleeve detail adds that premium finishing touch without being overly fussy, and the overall look is classic but with a modern twist.

It’s the perfect go-to dress for pretty much any occasion. I think sometimes we can overuse the dress it up dress it down scenario, but I actually think that the Finery London TSV design would look great as your summer run-around dress, with a sporty angle if worn with pumps or trainers, but equally teamed with some heels and a fascinator it would take you to the poshest of Jubilee celebrations or even a wedding.

Now if there is a wedding on the horizon amongst your realm of family and friends, take a look at the QVC Wedding Shop. There’s a whole host of occasion wear including many offerings from Finery London, plus all the shoes and accessories you can handle, including an outstanding array of jewellery to add a little sparkle to the big day.

Plus, if it’s the ultimate wedding gift you are after we have lots of gorgeous and glamorous present ideas to suit every budget too. You might call us your ‘one stop wedding planning shop!’

Have a great day!

Just wanted to drop in and wish everyone well for the Bank Holiday weekend! I always think Bank Holidays are a bit like buses: none for ages and then they all come at once!

I’ll be back with you on Monday, as always, however it’s going to be the best of Bank Holiday days as we set out to Discover QVC!

Maybe you are a new viewer or perhaps you are always talking about us to family and friends? Well, Monday is the day to get everyone watching, as every hour we’ll be discovering a different aspect of QVC and all that we have to offer.

Not only is it the perfect day to ponder over lots of goodies, and maybe treat yourself, but I’m sure there’ll be some sneaky peeks behind the scenes along the way and maybe even some QVC gossip too as we introduce you to some of our favourite brands. Lots of your favourite guests will be popping in throughout the day too.

I have to say though, one thing I’ve been discovering more and more over the last few weeks, is how to make the most of our outdoor spaces. Check out all the amazing garden furniture, lighting, and ornaments we have this year not to mention the incredible selection of plants. In fact, QVC is simply one endless discovery that’s just full of surprises, and never fails to brighten our day. So dive in, take a look and I’ll see you on Monday.

Here’s to a great weekend!

The post Lots to discover this spring at QVC appeared first on Stories.

Hope you have had an amazing Easter and have enjoyed all our incredible Bank Holiday weekend offers. However, our super offers continue as we launch one of our biggest deals yet from the utterly fabulous Margaret Dabbs!

I’ve been a huge fan of the Margaret Dabbs London range ever since my visit to one of Margaret’s foot clinics, several years ago, and this collection is going to get you spring-ready in next to no time. Not only are we addressing the feet in this collection but also the hands, and we are looking to firm up those legs too!

Margaret herself is a fully fledged podiatrist and, as well as her prestigious UK clinics, now has  a global following with her specialist clinics around the world. The great thing about QVC is that we can now bring you those exceptionally high performance products straight to your door and at outstanding value too. In fact the savings on Today’s Special Value offer from Margaret Dabbs London are off the scale. The 3-piece collection, which are all supersized, represents a saving of over £180 compared to buying directly from Margaret Dabbs London!!!

The Treatment Trio Supersized Collection includes the Firming Leg Serum, getting those legs looking and feeling more confident this summer; the Foot Hygiene Cream, one of Margaret’s most iconic products for fresher healthier-looking feet; and the brand-new Exfoliating Hand Wash, working on those visible signs of ageing on the hands. A truly luxurious collection at an astonishingly affordable price. There’s also an Easy Pay option too, so you can spread the cost over four instalments!!!

Now that’s not all: to complete your hand and foot care this week, check out Thursday’s TSV from Spa-Rific! A hand and nail, manicure and pedicure set giving you the tools of the trade to keep your digits looking immaculate all summer long!

Enjoy,

As always, I’m chasing my tail and not really understanding how the months are just flying by. So as March quickly draws to a close, I just thought I’d drop in with a few reminders of things you really don’t want to miss, and remember our current Beauty Pick of the Month and Supersize of the Month will soon be no more!

In fact, if you are after that whopping litre size of the Golden Glow Gradual Tan from Gatineau, you need to be snappy. It’s been a massive hit this month and is seriously the easiest way to get your glow on, with a fool-proof buildable faux-tan that looks so natural, and no fake smell either!

Another beauty must-have you won’t want to miss is the new Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, not only a huge size but also a brand new option. The Serenity fragrance has just launched this month and has been so popular. Not only a fabulous anti-ageing cleanser, the Serenity turns your cleansing chore into the perfect cleansing ritual treat for your skin that you really look forward to at the end of the day. However, you’ll need to hurry as both offers end this month!

While we are on the subject of beauty… drum roll!!!!!!!

If you love your Elemis, you are in for a treat this weekend as we launch an incredible Today’s Special Value collection that Elemis dreams are made of.

A six-piece ‘Truth in Beauty’ collection in a choice of either Warm Tonka and Vanilla or Sea Lavender and Sapphire, which both include a brand new product called Pro-Collagen Morning Matrix, designed to help banish the look of those fine lines and wrinkles  and everyday stress that takes its toll on the skin! I can’t wait to try it, plus you get five further products for face and body, including eyes, and the value is simply insane!

But why wait ’til the weekend when you can get your hands on this not to be missed offer right now.

Happy shopping and don’t miss out!

Now if you have seen me, over the years in the kitchen, you’ll know how much I love our QVC kitchen hours and how much I devour all our gorgeous food offerings. But you’ll also know I’m not a huge fan of cooking and although I’ve had to step up and cook for the family over the years I’m a kind of a get-it-over-and-done-with kind of cook without much finesse.

However, I then discovered air frying which works with my ‘get it all done quickly’ theory but you get much healthier and much much more tastier results each and every time. Now if you are thinking of investing in an air fryer, why not go for one that gives you a wealth of cooking options? Our TSV is from Cook’s Essentials, a brand that is at the heart of our QVC kitchen. A true QVC brand born and bred, Cook’s Essentials are innovators that really listen to our everyday cooking needs and respond accordingly, inventing products that fit into today’s busy lifestyles and this 5-in-1 offer is something no modern-day kitchen should be without.

So yes we have an air fryer, but we also have a conventional oven, a fan oven, a grill, a dehydrate function and an amazing rotisserie! A whole chicken tastes incredible and just falls off the bone, it is so succulent!
It’s a neat looking machine and takes up roughly the same footprint as a microwave, but has a whopping 22 litre capacity making it perfect for family-sized cooking. It has a 60-minute timer and a temperature of up to 230 degrees so a fast cooking machine that really means business.

I always say with an air fryer you get the best chip results ever (even shop-bought straight from the freezer chips) and, if you only ever cooked chips it would still be worth it just for the taste, but with this machine you get to do so much more. All you need to do is choose your colour – Black, White or a funky Dark Blue. Also, don’t forget with QVC you get your 60-day money back guarantee, so plenty of time to put this versatile helping hand through its paces and make it a welcome addition to your home.

Talking of home, did you know we are featuring a fabulous home event this week with lots of our top homemakers taking part like Julien Macdonald, Alison Cork and Kelly Hoppen as well as huge brands like Dyson, Acer and BundleBerry. We love an event day a QVC, I always think it’s a great excuse to treat yourself, which you might want to do on Friday too as that’s Fashion Day with a stunning peplum jacket TSV offer from Kim & Co. Or if you are in the mood for some great outdoors why not join us on Sunday for a superb day of gardening hints, tips and advice and an incredible Fuschia TSV collection, you blooming well don’t want to miss!

Happy shopping,

Just had to drop by and let you know about a fantastic Today’s Special Value from Moda in Pelle this Friday!

You may have seen me sporting these snazzy TSV trainers last week, as honestly I’ve had so many comments. Not only do they look sensational, I just had to jump in and shout about the comfort factor too! Anyone who knows me knows that my old dancers feet are very fussy when it comes to footwear, especially when it comes to something like a trainer that I’d be wearing for a certain amount of time. These trainers are sumptuously soft and have workable zips as well as true laces, so are fully adjustable.

They come in five stunning colours Lilac, White, Camo, Silver and Navy and are seriously stylish. I went for the Silver, which I think really works as an alternative to a neutral as I actually haven’t found anything yet that they don’t go with! Plus, they are the perfect transition out of your winter boots without leaping straight into a sandal, which, let’s face it, weather-wise we are not quite there yet.

If you haven’t ever tried Moda’s range before, they have been crafting beautiful shoes for over 40 years and are a very prestigious brand that we love to celebrate at QVC. They truly believe in creating affordable luxury when it comes to footwear and are all about innovation and design, but quality and comfort too. Staunchly proud of their Yorkshire heritage, Moda excels in combining stunning British design with gorgeous Italian leathers and with our buying power, QVC can offer outstanding prices on the best that Moda has to offer!

So what are you waiting for? Grab yours today.

Your feet will thank you for it!

Hope all is well with you all as we fast forward into the depths of February! However, fear not as it’s not all doom and gloom and February blues, there’s some exciting news on the fashion front at QVC. You may have noticed some gorgeous new designs from all of our incredible fashion brands gracing our screens of late, well, stand by those wardrobes it’s about to go fashion crazy!!

Next week (Monday 21st Feb) sees the start of our Fashion extravaganza bonanza! Our 2-day fashion event, Reset Your Style is set not only to re-vamp our wardrobes but also give us a well needed boost. It’s true, February is a bit of a dull month and there’s nothing that cheers me up more than seeing that influx of stunning new fashion options that not only brightens our style but more importantly lifts our mood.

As always, our experts will be on hand with all their styling advice. Not only do we have our fashion stylists and designers on screen for you, but we also have our team of stylists working hard for you backstage too, putting all the looks together.

I don’t know about you, but I love seeing all the outfits on our catwalks, it gives me loads of ideas of how to put things together. Sometimes I see a look and think, I would never dream of wearing that with that? But it works and when you try it, you get that fresh modern update to your wardrobe. What’s clever is, that you don’t need to buy a whole new wardrobe either, just a couple of key pieces and some old things worn in a different way, can seriously re-vamp your whole clothing collection.

Our 2-day event covers as many ranges as we could pack into our live on-screen hours including Kim & Co, White Stuff, Seasalt, Helene Berman and Ruth Langsford to name but a few with sensational Today’s Special Value offers from both Skechers and MarlaWynne! (more on those in a moment).

Plus, there are lots of accessory hours too, making sure you have the right shoes, handbags and jewellery items to complete your look.

One of my all-time favourite QVC designer brands is the very glamorous Frank Usher brought to us by the equally glamorous June Poster. The Frank Usher range, with all of its couture heritage, has been with QVC for many years and never ceases to delight me. It’s always my default, my go-to. If in doubt reach for a Frank Usher piece and add a little glamour to the occasion even if it’s just a coffee. (I incidentally, had a lovely coffee this week, on the river Thames, with a great view!)

I always say it during every Frank Usher hour, that in all my years of wearing the collection, both at home and in the studio, I’ve never lost a sparkle or embellishment! I always wash on 30 degrees and turn the garments inside out mind you, but they are so well made, they wash brilliantly, and our prices are so affordable.

June will be with you on Monday at 8pm with the collection with the lovely Craig and I’ll be joining you straight after at 9pm for the launch of Tuesday’s fashion event TSV from MarlaWynne!

Now definitely not one to be missed, our Marla TSV is a statement in fashion, a completer piece and a true fashion warrior that will update your whole wardrobe in an instant. MarlaWynne has become a force to be reckoned with in the fashion industry and her toppers are now somewhat iconic.

The Marla TSV for our fashion event is a stunning Drama Topper with an infusion of floral which is so chic. In true Marla style the floral patterning is bold but never fussy and appears tonal on the Sea Mist Grey, contrasting in ecru on the lnky Blue, Wood Rose and the Prairie Sand and boldly standing out in black on the Ecru/Black, offering that true monochromatic story. The floral look is one of an abstract design and appears on the one side off the topper which is such a flattering finishing layer.

If you’ve never tried a Topper before, it’s a really versatile piece, lending itself to pretty much all seasons. Perfect for now with a turtleneck under but you can also throw it over a T-shirt and it always looks stylish. By the way there’s matching tops and trousers too, in the fashion event from Marla, so you can shop the whole look should it take your fancy!

Now if you are wanting to add that sporty edge to your new MarlaWynne styling, or are in need of a fashionable yet comfortable alternative to a trainer, check out the Skechers TSV that kicks off our 2 days of fashion.

Launching on Sunday night at 9pm and running all day Monday We will be bringing you one of Skechers most prominent styles at a sensational price. I’m always checking out the prices of Skechers wherever I go and I’m always amazed at the price points we are able to achieve. But hey, that’s QVC’s buying power for you and that makes us the best place to buy your Skechers by far.

Our TSV is the Classic slip-on trainer from the, now very famous, Go Walk range. With comfort straight out the box and a look that would work with almost any outfit, these shoes are a must in your footwear collection. Offered in 6 great colours, Black, Light Grey, Blue, Navy, Taupe and light Pink, there really is something for everyone with the renowned comfort and Skechers technology underfoot, guaranteed in each and every step.

So do enjoy our big fashion event, it’s going to be so exciting seeing so many new designs coming right to your living room like a breath of fresh air, and don’t forget you can let us know what you think by using our WhatsApp messaging service and really feel part of the action.

Throughout the Reset Your Style event we’ll be visiting our Stylist corner and getting our on-trend experts to answer all your fashion questions. So don’t hesitate to get involved and pose your questions and comments on WhatsApp using QOnAir.
