The models are all beautiful, but like the other reviewer said, what about us, petite gals? Please consider having petite models in all of your shows.
Hi. I have got to know when the Bohemian dusters are coming back to buy. I want atleast 3! I can not find them anywhere. i love them! The really long ones.
I ordered two of the wonderful ruffled sweater you had as a TS….but please don’t add a magazine subscription to the mix!! That opens up a whole arena of problems! Keep bringing us great things!
I forgot to mention to PLEASE bring back more of the essential suede belts in the black and brown size small. I keep missing out on them. The belts would be nice in charcoal as well! Also, LOVE my fring boots. I have them in brown…SO Adorable!! Thanks Laurie!!
laurie i love all the jewelry-but could you please bring the clip-on-earrings??? as i do-not have pierced ears, and i’m 66-yrs. young..i love the earrings, as they are so classy..thank-you..
The models are all lovely! It is fun to hear about them. I would love to see a petite model.
Laurie, What beautiful items today! I love the Todays Special ruffle sweater! I ordered a black and beige. I also having been anxiously waiting for the ruffle coat, which I ordered in purple, as soon as it became available. Love the booties…I have them in black with the spats, and would love to see more spats! I also thought the Gator pin was fabulous! Looking forward to October!
Thank you, Laurie and models that we have gotten to know and admire! I would love to know the height and what size the models, show hosts, and yes even you Laurie are wearing. I catch that info whenever you disclose it, but… your TSV and TDO goes so fast! If you could state critical info like that from the get go- it would be great! I really enjoy getting ideas for accessorizing and putting new outfits together just by watching your shows! I tell my friends- I liken your shows to day-trading!
Hi Laurie,
I really like your items that you bring to us. I would love to be able to wear the bootie; however, being physically challenged, I cannot wear a heal. It is so hard to find sharp looking boots or ankle boots without a heal. Could the bootie be made; perhaps in the future, without a heal? I think I would buy in every color and pattern!
Hi Laurie ~ Thanks so much for interviewing some of the beautiful HSN models who are great stars and professionals!
Learned great things about them as I always thought Natalie was from Pittsburgh, Pa. and Cara was a beautiful California blonde.
The next time Tyra Banks is looking for model judges I would love it if she invited someone like Natalie to be a perm. judge on America’s Next Top Model!
HSN please hire Latina models too.
Laurie please keep coming back. Love you and your fashions
i love all of your things laurie, but could you please come-up with a leather pencil skirt in white??? i have looked and looked and cannot find a skirt in white leather….thank-you so much….
just want to say i LOVE the style a flair of the hsn model Sonja she is great! i usually look at her becuz she looks to be about my size and height she wears all the fashions perfectl=ally good job Sonja
It’s good to see a plus size model, a size 1x would even be better.
We all know the items will look good on the size smalls.
Dear Laurie ,on HSN you said about becomming a shoper at home and giving you feed back on the things that you sail I would love to do that .
Laurie… I live in California, so it’s nice to be able to buy California style fashions at an affordable price point. One question: can you make some shoes with lower heels? I recently shattered my leg all the way to the knee joint and am afraid that I will not be able to wear high, slim heels ever again. (boo hoo). I have taken my other shoes from your line and had the heels cut off. But, it would be nice to have some options straight out of the box! Thanks again for your fabulous fashions…
I have to say that i admire so much all of these ladies. Is very nice to know their personality by reading a little bit about them. Recenly i have not seen a plus size model on Hsn and i know that modeling requires a certain size but lets face it that a lot of the ladies that buy from Hsn are ladies from size 10 and up.Plese try not to include any magazine subscription with the today specials. They are useless and hard for us to get our refund.Thats what stopped me today from getting the TS.
