Colleen’s Favorite Things – Slimming Holiday Style!
Let’s face it, this time of year most of us find we end up putting on a couple extra pounds. With all of the delicious foods and treats that tempt us at every turn, it’s hard to resist! It usually starts at Thanksgiving (stuffing is my biggest weakness) and continues right through to New Year. The good news is that with the right clothing, you can have your cake (or stuffing) and eat it too!
The new Colleen Lopez Collection is filled with fabulous figure-flattering pieces that will take you from “Work-to-Wow” and have you looking 5 pounds thinner without hitting the gym.
TIP 1: Divide and conquer! Our Colleen Lopez “Dusk ’til Dawn” dress tricks the eye by narrowing your body thanks to the strategic placement of color. The soft rushing and ruffle detail provides instant tummy flattery and the rich colors of magenta, tan and charcoal paired with black will look beautiful with your favorite jewelry pieces. Just add black tights and booties for day or sheer black stockings and pointy toe pumps for evening – Insta-slim!
TIP 2: If you carry weight through your midsection, you’ll want to ban baggy, shapeless tops and boxy sweaters – they only add pounds. Opt instead for our Colleen Lopez “That’s so French” Poncho! The asymmetrical hemline will narrow your hips and thighs while the soft ruffles will hide the tummy area and flatter your upper arms. Pair this gorgeous poncho with dark leggings or jeans and matching boots for a sleek slenderizing effect – Tres Chic!
Tip 3: One of the most versatile and slimming separates for most body types is a pencil skirt. Thanks to renowned designer, Herve Leger, bandage skirts are all the rage! Our new Colleen Lopez Bandage Skirt is like a skirt and shape wear in one – it slims you down while holding you in! Pair this slim skirt with our Mademoiselle Coco Jacket to nip in your waist, or if you’re pear shaped wear a longer blazer or sweater and scarf for casual ease. Depending on the styling, this skirt can go from your desk to the dance floor – catch bandage skirt fever!
Tip 4: When heading out to a holiday party, dinner or open house, there’s nothing more unflattering than a bulky coat. Our new Colleen Lopez Eiffel In Love Trench Coat is sleek, elegant and sophisticted. With dress-maker styling and exquisite tailoring, this coat takes the classic trench to a whole new level of style and glamour! The contrast lace panels create a figure flattering effect and you’ll get so many compliments you won’t want to check your coat when you arrive at your holiday gathering!
Who says we can’t indulge a little over the holidays? You’ll be looking slim and sensational in our new Work-to-Wow collection. Cheers!
Hello Colleen – I’m currently viewing you with Lancome La Vie Est Belle Parfum – your outfit is stunning.
Every time I see you on tv, besides your outfit, jewelry and makeup always being dead on, my eyes are drawn to your nails and the color polish!! The polish compliments your skin tone and looks so pretty on you. Would you be able to share the brand/name of the polish you use? Thank you and wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.
Hi Colleen, my husband and I noticed that you have lost sooooooo much weight or inches, can you please let me know how you did it?
You looked so stunning in the gray dress on 11/25.
Thank you,
Darlene
Collen,
I loved the cold shoulder fushia colored top you wore tonight on Air. It looked great on you. Does HSN sell this top?
Collen,
I so enjoy what you bring to HSN. I love your jewelry boxes and have 8 right now. The earring cubes are awesome will be coming back for my third soon. At one time you offered a three drawer box. This is the only design that holds my Jay King pieces. Will you every be bring that design back? If not a deep box with no dividers that that large stone necklaces will lay in.
Please bring back the necklace box

Hi Colleen,
I enjoy your shows on HSN and wanted to take a moment to make a suggestion…
In the movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Judi Dench wears a necklace that is small with dangling tiny beads all the way around it.
If you get a chance take a look at it…I just know it would sell like crazy ! I have not been able to find anything like it anywhere and would love to have one.
Keep up the good work !
Hi Agurl! I will be sure to check out the necklace – I haven’t seen the movie and I love Judi Dench so thanks for the tip! Take care and Happy Thanksgiving! Colleen

Hello Colleen,
I am finding that I can no longer leave posts on your fb page because I get spam emails from “Colleen HSN” after posting. I will leave a very happy review of your trench coat as soon as possible, as it is magnificent and I am thrilled that you chose to share it with us. Fondly, Elissa in St. Paul.
Hi Zookswife – Hopefully you can post on my Facebook – it should be working! So glad you love the Paris trench – please be sure to leave a review on HSN.com!
Take care and Happy Thanksgiving! Colleen
Hi Colleen, it is always an inspiration to review the new fashions and I really enjoyed your Work-to-Wow collection. Born and raised in the Mid-West trench coats were in style every year, sweet memories. Colleen how can someone like myself actually share some great ideas with nice fashion designers like yourself?
