Home Shopping Fun! - Joan Rivers jewelry on QVC (on sale)

Sometimes you forget about good ol' Joan's line of jewelry, accessories and clothing on QVC.  In my opinion you can thank Joan for the bevy of celeb lines on the home shopping networks.  Her line was really one of the first and it's been incredibly successful, it allowed her to sort of "reinvent" herself after the falling out with Johnny Carson and her talk show went off the air (not to mention the suicide of her husband).  Heavy stuff right?  Love her or hate her she has managed to hang in there year after year and her tongue is as sharp as ever (but her face almost unrecognizable, please Joan stop with the surgery).  A side note, when my Mom and I were in London in 1998 we actually ran into her on Portobello Road buying vintage jewelry as inspiration for her line.  I was too shy to say hello, but my Mom chatted with her a bit and she could not have been sweeter. 

Anyway, the point of all of this is that there are some good deals on her jewelry to be had over at QVC.  Check out my picks!

Graduated Faceted Bead 30"Necklace - $24.96 (sale)

Hammered Bezel & Stone Stretch Bracelet - $23.23 (sale)

Crystal Cut-Out Rose Pin - $23.93 (sale)

Chic & Simple Chain Link 36" Necklace - $21.75 (sale) - the clear version of this looks amazing!

Faceted Teardrop 16" Necklace - $19.83 (sale)

"As Is" Look of Agate 18" Necklace - $22.11 (sale)

Socialite Swag 16" Necklace - $19.80 (sale)

"As Is" Celebrity Roast Faceted Stretch Bracelet - $14.08 (sale)

"As Is" Bold Fresh Stretch Bracelet - $10.11 (sale)

"As Is" Pretty Petal Flower Earrings - $10.95 (sale)

"As Is" Faceted Mixed Bead 30" Necklace - $16.72 (sale)

From what I understand, if anything says "As Is" that means that it's a sample, return or something that was shown on air, it's not in the original packaging, not in original condition (whatever that means).  The trade off is that the prices are much lower.

I want this! - Louboutin Croc-Sequined Platform Pump

Don't forget that I posted my new-to-me recipe of the week on my Facebook page - check it out here. 

I just saw these pumps and fell in L-O-V-E.  They are very reminiscent of these Louboutins I posted about early last year - but I think I adore these more.  Silver+Animal Pattern=Goodness!

Here's another view of them actually on the feet.

And to think that only just a few days ago I was thinking how tired I am of this particular shoe style - you know, the peep-toe, platform pump.  It's been around for a few years and while they are most certainly a classic, I'm ready for something new.  Although maybe just adding some pattern, texture and/or unique color to this style may just be the way to go to make it fresh!  Now if I can only scrounge up $1400 to drop on some shoes - ha!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and if you are interested Rachel Zoe will be on QVC tonight at 11pm and midnight, then tomorrow at 1pm and 6pm.   She'll be presenting her revamped line for QVC called Luxe Rachel Zoe.  Should be interesting...

Home Shopping Fun! - Lilly & Van on QVC

Well, this is the first time I've seen this collection and it's cute (very Palm Beach vibe) .  It's not a perfect assortment of items, much seems to be geared towards older ladies, in my opinion.  But here are a few things that have potential:

Mosaic Print Scoop Neck Knit top - $27.38 (clearance price)

Printed Stretch Cotton Tunic - $29.98 (clearance price)

Short Sleeve Knit Top with Ruffle Detail - $32.48 (introductory price)

Printed Scoop Neck Short Sleeve Knit Top - $23.46 (clearance price)

Yes, THAT Twiggy.  The legendary 1960's supermodel/icon has a new line of clothing and accessories for HSN, it premiered earlier this month.  Well, overall there are some cute things, but not much that's my style.  However, there are a few cute items that caught my eye.  I sort of wish I saw the show itself, maybe next time.  Here are my picks (sorry for the small pictures):

Patent Union Tote - $79.90 (available in black, chocolate, hot pink, pistachio and navy - pictured)

Home Shopping Fun! - Rachel Zoe on QVC

Well, admittedly I didn't get to watch her when she was on, I did go and check out some of the new items.  The collection is okay, not great, not horrible - just okay.  But I did find myself really liking the scarves, they look like they are good quality.  What do you think?

Navajo Jacquard Scarf - $35 (this is my personal favorite)

Paisley & Flower Print Oversized Scarf - $39.50

Paisley Border Crinkle Scarf - $39.50

Animal Print Oblong Scarf - $40

Home Shopping Fun! - American Glamour by Badgley Mischka

Badgley Mischka's "American Glamour" HSN line has finally premiered on HSN.  There seemed to be more emphasis on accessories, personally I would like to see a little more clothing (a nice embellished tank or something sparkly that makes us think of their high end line).  But I digress.  Here are some of my favorites:

5-Stone Station 15 1/2" necklace - $79

Large Satchel with Cage Detail - $229.90

Maltese Cross Stretch Bracelet - $79

Stone Hinged Cuff Bracelet - $99

Drama Star 17" Bib Necklace - $139

Home Shopping Fun! - Grayce by Molly Sims

Grayce is a new jewelry collection on HSN designed by Molly Sims (actress, former model).  The collection is inspired, in part, by her mother's vintage jewelry.  She's profiled in November's InStyle as their "Celebrity Designer" too, if you want to check it out.

The collection isn't really me, but here are a few interesting pieces that I thought I would share:

"Lovely Layered" ball station graduated 33" necklace - $98.95

"Grayceful Glamour" cuff bracelet - $89.95 (this would be my one pick from the whole collection)

Home Shopping Fun! - Loulou de la Falaise

Well, I got a pleasant surprise a few minutes ago when I flipped over to HSN and the amazing Loulou de la Falaise was on presenting some new items. Her collection really is fun! Here are some of my favorites:
colorblock knit poncho - $49.90 (event price) - don't let the "poncho" description fool you, it's more of a long knit wrap. I'm very tempted...


adjustable drop 36" necklace - $29.95 (event price) - this is big and bold!


2 row beaded 28" necklace - $59.95 (it's so much more stunning on air than this picture shows)


Reversible suede and leather tie bag - $89.90 (event price) - the black is beautiful, very rich looking
