Throughout the day we are going to be featuring brands and products that you are not able to find anywhere else such as fashion by Dannii Minogue, items for the home from Bundleberry by Amanda Holden and K by Kelly Hoppen. You’ll also be seeing other brands such as Ahuhu, Kim & Co and Judith Williams – so lots to be looking forward to! The star of the day will be this fabulous top (pictured above) by Dannii Minogue in gorgeous colours and both petite and regular sizes.

Enjoy!

Much love,

The post Only at QVC appeared first on Stories.

And while I’m blown away by the colour in the garden and regularly bringing in fresh cut flowers for inside, I did my very first Bloom show last week and fell in love with some of the designs. The photos on the website really don’t do them justice, as you can see here in the photo. I’ve got the wild flower display one side (currently sold out) and the incredible red sunflowers on the other – but there are many to choose from if you look at the whole range. I’m wearing Marla Wynne turtle neck top,  which surprisingly has only one review which gives it just one star, but I love it. The trousers are Kim & Co wide leg in hot pink, available in petite and regular, and the trainers are from Rieker.

Finally, we have more coming from Kim & Co with a new Today’s Special Value on Thursday this week: the very popular harem trousers in all sorts of colours, which I will be launching on Wednesday evening, so hopefully see you there.

Much love as always,

The post I’m bloomin’ loving colour this year! appeared first on Stories.

If you follow me on Instagram, you might know that just before going away at Easter, I found an amazing linen dress, with a hood and pockets! Obviously, it was love at first sight and I snapped it up. Since then, I’ve been finding myself a little more comfortable with the idea of wearing dresses. The great thing with QVC is that there is something for everyone. I hosted ‘The Dress Shop‘ over the weekend and have another one coming up this week, which will be featuring the Monsoon TSV – a dress that I honestly didn’t want to take off after trying on.

So, if you’re stuck in a style rut or, like me, have always been a trouser gal, we’ve got some particularly gorgeous dresses this year. I still can’t really do mid-length, so if you’re like me, perhaps try the maxi instead?

Much love,

We have loads going on across the entire four days, great TSVs including this gorgeous top from Ruth Langsford and this Innovators double cocoon chair, each of them will be on five Easy Pays and we also have a voucher code to make everything else on four.

Click here to take a look at all the special offers in store, and I hope you can join us for some of the festivities as you weave it in with your own.

It really doesn’t seem that long ago that we celebrated the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee does it? I hope you have a great weekend, whatever you will be up to.

Much love and cheers!

The post Jubilant! appeared first on Stories.

I’m so proud of who Myles has become during his school years, he’s a caring and confident young man now and I’m so looking forward to seeing him live through this next chapter. He’s going to take a year out and then head off to university to study International Development with French. Exciting times and a new beginning ahead!

The endings don’t stop though do they? We are talking a lot about menopause now – thankfully! And with that comes a whole host of awareness that helps us embrace ‘the change’ as it was elusively referred to in the past. It is a change though and a pretty rough one at times! We are doing loads on QVC this year so keep your eyes open for new shows coming your way. This picture is of me being interviewed earlier this week about my menopause journey, which started in my early 40s. That’s the other thing we now know, it starts way earlier than we ever realised.

We are also bringing in more products to help with the hormonal transition. I have found HRT and testosterone to be life-changing and whether or not we are on medication, changes to our diet and some of our habits are also crucial to supporting ourselves during these years. We have a range called ‘Health and Her’ launching this week, which contains supplements and a beautiful sleep balm – don’t get me started on how my sleep has changed, HRT doesn’t help a huge amount with that so I’ve always got my eyes open for additional options!

The other thing that I’ve found therapeutic of late is my garden – I never thought I’d be one to say that either so it just goes to show, never say never: anything could happen!

Have a great weekend

Love as always

The post Endings and beginnings appeared first on Stories.

From the crazy souks of Cairo to the peace of watching the sunset while sailing up the Nile on a Felucca, we experienced it all. We then went out into the desert for a couple of days where we visited more ancient sights, did some hair-raising off-roading, sandboarded down dunes and even camped under the stars. You know me, I love camping so I jumped at this. We were far out in the middle of the desert with nothing but sand and desert wolves, under a full moon too! (No, not even a portaloo.)

I’m sure you can imagine that by the time we came back to England, I was ready for a deep clean! It took a few goes to feel squeaky again but thanks to QVC I have lots of products to play with.

Speaking of which, we have a wonderful TSV coming from L’Occitane this weekend. It has the all-important hand wash, plus refill, the beautiful shower oil and hand cream to match – which I am using in spades now that the weather has picked up and I’m outside getting the garden in order.

In the meantime, I hope you are keeping well and equally glad to see the signs of summer finally appearing.

Love as always

…and it was super easy to clean! In fact, it was left on the stove accidentally after the kids finished cleaning up as they thought it was already done – how about that?! I’m hosting a very exciting family reunion later this week and am deciding on what to cook. I’m thinking of a warm beef salad, or Nigel Slater’s marmalade chicken. It needs to be quick as I’m short on time, but I want it to be lovely. I haven’t seen my aunt and cousin in nearly 40 years and recently we got back in touch so I want them to feel loved and welcome, but I don’t want to be slaving over the stove – there’s MUCH to catch up on!

Anyhoo, I hope you’re well and look forward to catching up with you too either here, on air, or somewhere in the ether! By the way, the pink jumper is Phase Eight.

Much love,

The post J’adore ma famille et Le Creuset! appeared first on Stories.

I am so looking forward to spring. I don’t know about you, but I bought a few exciting pieces during our gardening event last weekend. I’ve done loads of pruning and tidying in the garden and can’t wait to see all the plants and bulbs come to life. Although, behind me, I’ve got a hideous bramble that I fight every year to keep away from the rose. I’ve got tulips popping up everywhere in beds, and other shoots that I can’t even remember what they were, so that will be a lovely surprise too. We have decided to grow passion flower up the back of the house and so I popped them into this planter (here’s a similar one) along with a few flowers I picked up in the garden centre and some daff bulbs that I found sprouting in a plastic bag that I had forgotten about. The flowers were already out, so fingers crossed they survive!

So, a little bit more gardening for me today as my planters from the garden event have just arrived and then tomorrow I’m back in for the Laura Geller Springtime Essentials TSV, so I look forward to seeing you then. In the meantime, I hope you get kissed by some sunshine over the next few days.

Love as always,

Pipa xx

I won’t ruin the answer here, but they say that on average, we carry seven lip products in our bags. ‘Seven?’ I hear you say. ‘Surely not!’ Well, go and check yours, I’d love to know how many you have. It’s a beautiful bag, the leather is super soft and we have lots of colours to choose from. I’m not one to change my bags often, I tend to have one main bag for at least 6 months, which everything gets chucked into, and this is an ideal “chuck it all in bag”, without being too big at the same time.

Brian and I went for a walk along the Malvern Hills last weekend, the weather was absolutely gorgeous, albeit a tad windy! Thankfully, I had my Badgley Mishka coat to keep me warm. Speaking of which, I must tell you about my outfit on the first picture as I’m in love with all three pieces!

The jacket is from Phase Eight, fully lined and perfect for spring. The trousers – oh my, how I love these trousers, I get comments on them all the time! They look like the most expensive leather and feel gorgeous to wear, are from Badgley Mishka but be quick if you want the black, and the boots, again, get loads of compliments, are from Vionic. Interestingly they have two two star reviews saying they are uncomfortable, but I have to say, I have lived in mine since I got them and love them. It is important to note, you need to go up a whole size though, as they are a tad narrow. As long as you do that, I am sure they really will become favourites for you too.

One other thing to mention is the L’Occitane TSV coming toward the end of the week. It’s perfect for those of you who want to try their top selling Immortelle regime and is highly rated online.

That’s it from me this week, take care, stay safe and much love to all.

So, we kick off the event on Sunday evening at 9pm with a TSV from Skechers. We have a super comfy slip-on shoe with all of that wonderful technology beneath our feet that will bounce you through your day whether you are at home, work or somewhere in between.

And then MarlaWynne brings us a fantastic bold statement piece on Tuesday, which will be the perfect replacement for coats and cardigans as the sun begins to shine – and boy after Eunice, on top of everything else, I think we deserve a good bout of sunshine!

So I hope you enjoy the shows that we have ahead for you.

Much love,
