We've chosen a color each month that we're absolutely obsessed with and now it's YOUR turn! Vote for which color you think should be the March Color of the Month in our poll below and we'll feature the color with the most votes!
What is your best advice for someone who wants to be as famous as you someday?
Surround yourself with people whose only mission in life is to see you succeed, and who know enough not to get between you and the camera.
How does it feel to be the biggest star of Muppets Most Wanted?
I wouldn’t say I was the biggest star, but I certainly am the most admired, talented, famous and beloved star of Muppets Most Wanted, opening in theatres nationwide on March 21, 2014
What’s the best part of being a famous movie star?
Having a publicist who answers most of these questions for me. Oh, and of course, moi’s fans. I adore you all!
Secret to being a fashion icon?
Don’t worry about inner beauty, concentrate on the outside—that’s what people look at first.
Can’t-leave-home-without beauty product?
A mirror. Without that, what’s the point of all the other stuff, n’est ce pas?!
If you could trade lives with ANOTHER ACTOR who would it be?
Barbra Streisand. I’ve always wanted to do a Farewell Tour and she seems to do them every couple of years. Sounds like fun!
Celebrity crush?
Besides Kermie? I tend to gravitate towards people who are comfortable sharing the spotlight with moi—but not the check for dinner
Describe your perfect date night
A frog. A box of chocolate. A blackout.
Favorite quote
I think it was the legendary Coco Chanel who said: “I don’t care what you think about me, I don’t think about you at all.” It’s very similar to my own motto: “I don’t care what you think about me, as long as you think about me and go see my new movie Muppets Most Wanted, opening in theatres nationwide on March 21, 2014”
Beauty icon
Audrey Hepburn and Katherine Hepburn. Something about those Hepburns; when it comes to beauty, they really cook.
Tell us—do blondes really have more fun?
Real, dyed or extensions? In any case, the answer is “yes” – unless it happens to be a day I’ve decided to go ginger.
What’s your latest iTunes download?/music?
In this order: Muppet soundtracks, romantic ballads, and “Songs to Woo Frogs By”: The Box Set
Favorite movie?
I would say Muppets Most Wanted but that sounds too self-serving. But it is fabulous and you must see it. Otherwise, I adore romantic comedies where the pig gets the frog .
Red Carpet mantra
My go-to mantra is: Hey, buddy! Get out of my key light.
I never leave home without my _____
My sense of style and breath mints.
Three words to describe me are:
Talented, beautiful, humble
Super power you wish you possessed
I am a super power. I don’t need one.
Proudest moment
Giving Tina Fey career advice. It was moi who told her to stick to comedy and forget catering. (Though I must say, she does make a fabulous tuna casserole.).
Guilty pleasures:
If it’s a pleasure, I don’t feel guilty about it.
Woman I admire most
Any woman who goes after her dream and never gives up. And I’m not just talking about famous people; I mean every woman who makes the effort no matter what others tell her. I know what that’s like. Hard to believe now, but when I got started some people thought I wouldn’t succeed. To which I say “HA!”

Lori has done it again! Yes, we're talking about Today's Special Value, the LOGO V-neck Vest! Because this layer is so versatile, it can be worn with your casual day look, or add to the an elegant night on the town!!
This piece brings life to many different looks as well as many different body types. Lori, Jayne, and Sharon caught up for a one-on-one styling date. Check out how Lori styled the TSV on these two lovely ladies!
For Jayne it was all about the layering! Underneath the vest, is the black LOGO cardigan, and the yellow LOGO scoop neck top. Lori had a blast mixing and matching these layers with Jayne’s Blossom Pink vest. How Lori of her!
Here the Blossom Pink is worn solely with the Black Cardigan.
Lori takes it down a couple buttons from the top of the cardigan to show some of the yellow color on the top!
And she does the exact same from the bottom of Jayne's cardigan to unleash some yellow into the look!
It's been a long and tough winter, which makes sense as to why Sharon was ready to take this TSV into Spring and Summer mode. Sharon layered the Seaglass colored vest over a tank top and Lori added to the look by creating some fun accessories out of a scarf!
Typically we wouldn't use one of our favorite scarves as a belt, right? Well now that Lori Goldstein has, maybe we should give it a shot!
What a fun way to add to this casual Spring outfit!
Whomever says that scarves are not spring/summer appropriate, has clearly never been styled by Lori Goldstein!
Lori ties the look together perfectly by tying the scarf for Sharon bringing an entire new level of sophistication to Sharon's original look!
So there you have it! You can you wear like THIS, or you can wear like THAT! How will you wear the LOGO TSV and incorporate it into your spring and summer wardrobe?

The QVC Social Team had a blast attending Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, CA! The red carpet was star-studded with Muppets Most Wanted stars Tina Fey, Ty Burrell and Ricky Gervais—just to name a few! And of course the biggest stars of the night—the Muppets themselves! The movie was hysterical and full of lots of great music! We are definitely going to have to watch it again!
We hope you enjoy our photos from the premiere!
The red carpet all set up!
Kermit and the super-glam Miss Piggy made their big debut on the red carpet!

On Sunday, March 16, in celebration of Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted movie, the Muppets came to QVC’s Studio Park here in West Chester, PA—and we had NO idea the adventure we were in for! From a marriage proposal (that surprisingly didn’t include Miss Piggy & Kermit!) to one too many chefs in David’s kitchen, we had a blast with the some of our favorites from the gang! Take a peek at some of the behind-the-scenes photos we captured below.
If you shake that camera one more time Animal!
An adorable repost from Mally! (Her daughter made the Muppets a cute little card!)
Selfie time!
It's going to be a long day, isn't it Miss Piggy?!
No way these two ever agree on anything, huh?
Hey man, is it my turn to play some tunes?
Pepe & Rizzo stole the studio—and Mary’s heart!
Who better than moi (and maybe Mally!) to spend an afternoon of Beauty's Most Wanted with?!
Twinsies?
Pepe just asked Josie to marry her?! She's taken! Ay dios mio!
Kermit introduces QVC’s Most Wanted show (and lets everyone know Joan Rivers would be making an appearance!) Uh-oh!
Gonzo & Rizzo certainly had fun with Joe Zee, Mally, Jill Martin & Dennis Basso!
No caption necessary, Pepe. (Looks like someone has a little crush on Amy Stran!)
We're thrilled that Miss Piggy & Joan Rivers decided to share the spotlight. They're both superstars!
We loved our day with the Muppets—thanks Miss Piggy, Kermit & the whole gang!

Recently, Quirky took over QVC for an entire hour to sell Quirky inventions live on air—reaching 106 million homes across the country.
Quirky’s A-team loaded up the pink van and drove from the Big Apple to QVC Headquarters in West Chester, PA. The video takes you behind-the-scenes for a look at just how much work went into our live television appearance and how our team hustles every day for the community.
Working with QVC, we got to share the unique story behind our products in a whole new way. A mighty thanks to Tracie Beer, the inventor of Contour, who joined us to demonstrate her form-fitting hanger. Also, a big shout out to Chad Hetherington, Quirky’s head of business development. He made co-hosting a QVC segment look easy! And finally, thanks to all of our everyday inventors, whose amazing products stole the show once again.

Shop your favorite beauty items and help make a difference in the lives of people living and working with cancer. Eighty Percent of your purchase price of donated merchandise benefits the Cancer and Careers program of the CEW Foundation! Take a peek at a few questions and answers from three of the event’s leading ladies: Claudia Lucas, Carlotta Jacobson, and Tiffani Thiessen!
Claudia Lucas, QVC beauty merchandising director
What is Beauty with Benefits?
Beauty with Benefits is a concerted effort of the beauty industry to come together and combine its resources to present a compelling fund-raising event that will benefit so many. We know that we have very passionate beauty customers who shop at QVC and we are delighted to offer them the opportunity to get great beauty items from leading brands while being part of an event that will support and help so many men and women affected by cancer.
What are some of the beauty brands customers can expect to see?

Carlotta Jacobson, president of Cosmetic Executive Women, creator of Cancer and Careers, and on-air guest during Beauty with Benefits
What does Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) provide for the community?
CEW is a nonprofit professional organization for women and men in the beauty, cosmetics, and fragrance industries. Our mission is to develop the leadership potential of our members (over 5,700 executives strong!) through knowledge sharing, access, and networking opportunities. In 2001, the CEW Foundation launched Cancer and Careers, a groundbreaking initiative that helps cancer survivors thrive in the workplace. It is the enthusiasm of the beauty industry that makes Cancer and Careers’ free support system possible for over 250,000 people annually. The only organization of its kind, the program addresses all aspects of balancing cancer and work, with essential advice from experts and fellow survivors alike, interactive tools, and educational events. Eighty percent of the top cancer centers use our services and publications.
What was the inspiration for CEW to start Cancer and Careers?
During a period of two years, five out of 40 CEW board members were diagnosed with cancer. All five women continued to work during or after treatment, and encountered similar problems. They were courageous. They had to be—there were really no resources to help them address their work-related challenges—namely, how to manage a career and cancer at the same time. CEW is committed to filling that void. We are here to eliminate fear and uncertainty and to support those in a key position to help, including healthcare providers, managers, and co-workers. Our everyday work is helping survivors work through it.
Tiffani Thiessen, actress, and Beauty with Benefits spokesperson
How does it feel to be a part of Beauty with Benefits and help a great cause like Cancer and Careers?
I am extremely honored to be a part of this amazing cause that brings confidence to people who have battled cancer. Cancer hits close to home for me—from family members to very dear friends in my life.
Since we’re talking about beauty, do you have any beauty secrets?
Yes—confidence is key to feeling beautiful inside and out!
And now for the age-old question—if you’re running out the door and can only grab one beauty product, what would it be and why?
Mascara. Your eyes are what everyone looks at the most!
