Q: What are your top three tips on how to look “hot” in Hollywood?
A:
1. Confidence is key. Even if a celebrity isn’t the best dressed at an event, if she knows how to work it, she’ll get good press. So make sure you’re comfortable in what you’re wearing so you can strut your stuff like a star walking the red carpet.
2. Accessories. Most of us don’t have the luxury of borrowing a dress whenever we need to go to an event. So we have to make the most of what we have in our closet. Accessories can instantly update a look and add a glam factor to any outfit.
3. Don’t forget about hair and makeup! Even if you’re wearing the hottest look straight from the runway, if your hair and makeup is a disaster, that’s all anyone will remember.
Q: What’s the biggest fashion mistake you see celebrities make?
A: Trying to be too trendy. I’m all about following trends but you need to have your own sense of style. If you just wear whatever you see in a fashion magazine, you’ll just look like a walking mannequin. It’s boring. I’m not going to name names but there are a few reality stars who commit this mistake on a regular basis. You have to take the trends and make them your own.

Q: What are your top three tips on how to look “hot” in Hollywood?
A: My top three tips for looking ‘hot in Hollywood’ are to wear your confidence on your sleeve! Whatever you wear-own it and have fun with it and it will look great!
When following trends-be sure to incorporate only the ones that are right for you- We all come in different shapes and sizes and trends are not one size fits all.
Have fun with fashion-it is an extension of your personality and is meant to be a creative form of expression.
Q: What’s the biggest fashion mistake you see celebrities make?
A: The biggest mistake I see celebrities make is problems with fit- This element is one of the most important pieces of the process and is sometimes overlooked.
Q: What’s one trend you think will be huge for spring?
A: One of the biggest trends for Spring continues to be unusual shapes and patterns in clothing such as fun cutouts and pronounced shoulder pads.
Dear Laurie. Please let us know when you will be back with your new Spring fashions on HSN. I thought I heard, when you were on in Feb., that you would be back in May. Is that correct?
Thank you,
Laurie
item 691-490 i tried to get it but the customer service person kept telling me i didn’t have paypal on my acct. i purchased some of your other fashion and would dearly love an opportunity to get the animal print top that sold out so very quickly. will you be repeating that any time soon?
Dear Laurie, I have purchased many of your lovely things. There has been one important piece that I bought that I wear every day. It’s the charm bracelet with all of the beautiful pictures of our Lord and Saviour. I have a serious illness, and it brings me peace and comfort, reminding me that He is always with me. I have a friend who has ovarian cancer, and I am hoping that you will bring this bracelet back, especially in blue (color for that cancer)or any color. Thank you, Bette
Dear Laurie,
Please bring back the gold sequin handbag. I have a friend who has one, and I would like to have one too. It is gorgeous. Thanks!
Laurie I missed out on your Little Bright Collection, I would love if you brought them back in the earrings, I will purchased the bangles online but want the matching earrings.
PLEASE
Denise in Ohio
Laurie, Please bring back the dress you had I think in Feb. Not sure what it was called but it came in turquoise, pink, yellow. Maybe a jersey knit. I waited too long to order and it was gone. Should have known.
DEAR LAURIE PLEASE BRING BACK THE LBD EARRINGS THAT MATCH THE HINGED BRACELET!! I HAVE THE BRACELET IN 3 COLORS AND WOULD LOVE THE MATCHING EARRINGS!!!
Hi Laurie
I love the concept of your picking a few key items to add to a wardrobe to stay on trend.
I do have a request…..can you PLEASE AD XL to your sizing.
There is such a huge jump in size from the measurements in a large to a 1X. Things that rely on bust measurements make it very very difficult to fit. A jump in size by 6-8 inches is huge.
I love your products, they are lots of fun. I would like to buy more than accessories
If only you sold my size:(
Thanks for listening
Dear Laurie, Please send HSN more stock of the guitar bag…your fans will love this bag.I sure do, I bought 2 and would like one more. The hardware and tassels are just wonderful with the best use of bling I have seen in ages. Who ever did this bag for you is a master…probably Sharif, that’s my best guess. Love, love thus handbag!!!

I do not comment on blogs EVER or even on the items I order & do not like, but I have to say this….I watched you during the Spring Sale & made several purchases from HOH for my 1st time and I will NOT return one single thing…the clothes & shoes are comfy and really fit my gymnist like figure + a couple of extra pounds, and no other line at HSN has offered me this experience…I will be buying many more of your products!! THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME THOUGHT YOU PUT BEHIND YOUR NAME!
I was watching Hot in Hollywood on HSN the other day and would like to know How I can become a story model. I love the fashions, clothes,shoes and jewelry. and would love to become a story model. Thank you Susan from Chatsworth Ca.
Hot in Hollywood has quickly become my brand of choice. I just recently bought my first product and fell in love with it instantly. I am a 26 year old full time on the go stay at home mom. I spend my time doing the mommy thing. I would love to be a model for such an awesome line. I love Hot in Hollywood because it gives me the look I want without making me choose between putting food on the table or a cute new purse on my shoulder. I get it all! Do you have any idea how great that feels?
I also was watching Hot in Hollywood when Laurie mentioned the story models. Boy did i ever
get excited. A person can never get enough Hot in Hollywood products.Please can you direct me through the proper channels to apply to become a story model. I am 40 yrs old married with three children and work full time for our lovely state of California. I actually live in the central valley with all kinds of weather except snow,that is about an hour away. I feel the my life is prime example of what you
I would love to be considered as a story model. I am 39,mother of two kids(11 & 6) & a business owner. Many days are spent, running kids to school, lessons, & work errands. That leaves very little time for shopping. I love to be able to look like a million bucks but be very budget friendly. Time isnt always on my side. I dont have many moments to shop for up to date looks. This opportunity would be a wonderful experience to share with all the other mothers/business owners that I network with.

I would love to become a story model. Hoping to hear from you,
I would love to become a Hot in Hollywood story Model. I buy a lot of clothing from HSN and am constantly approached, complimenting me on my choice of clothing. While watching Hot in Hollywood today I heard about being a story model. I live in Indiana, although I am formally a California girl. Any help you can give me in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
I am interested in becoming a model for the products. How do I go about that?
