QVC - Chloe Dao & Rachel Zoe

During Fashion Week, Rachel Zoe was on QVC. I ended up watching almost the entire show. And buying a couple of things. While I was on the site, I saw some pieces from Chloe Dao, so we'll start there.

Simply.Chloe Dao faux leaopard fur - Size S - The faux fur felt nice. I wasn't fond of the colors. The tans & browns of faux fur have to be just right. I also didn't like the way the print came out. It looked fuzzy around the edges of the dark brown. It went back. I'm not sure I would order again, but would definitely look at her offerings. Chloe Dao won Season 2 of Project Runway.

Rachel Zoe Double Faced Belted Cape - Size XS - Camel. First of all, it's an orange based color, imo. I would not consider it camel. Not even camel with a tan. It was packaged in the box like this.

It was too big. Too awkward as well. I really wanted to like it because it's cozy. Unfortunately, I don't have that special something that might be required to complete the look (see right-hand side of photo). I tried it on again to see if I would consider exchanging it for black, but I couldn't stop laughing.And I'm coming back to add that it's like a reverse Snuggie. With a belt.

Rachel Zoe North/South satchel - It comes with a dust bag. It's not a smooth, brushed cotton. For lack of better description, it feels like a cotton, woven tarp. I appreciate the bag, though.

It's big.

And I like it. There are disappointed shoppers on QVC who say that it looks and feels fake. It doesn't, in my opinion. It's a pebbled leather and the sturdiness of it makes it not so precious. I think it feels sturdy due to structure, not nesc because the leather is poor. I'll feel good putting leather care/conditioner on and carrying it. I don't know if my expectations were low, but I felt and still feel it's very well made. Esp for the cost.

Jacket (4P): Talbots canvas jacket

Shoes: Similar here, here and here)

QVC is doing something right. I like it when I call & they answer right away. I imagine they lose no sales with this method. You don't have time to pause and reconsider before someone is on the line asking for your item number. I called twice today to ask questions about returning because I was not processing the crystal clear instructions online or in print. The 1st rep was awesome and I told her so. On the 2nd phone call, my number must have triggered something on the rep's screen because she addressed me by name. That can feel a bit like Big Brother, but I likes it. I likes it alot. I cannot stand these automated machines that want you to speak your request a zillion times before it will transfer you to a live person. Can. Not. Stand. Looking at you, Citibank. So yeah, love QVC for their shows & hosts (the concept is marvelously entertaining), Easy Pay and most excellent customer service. Remember, QVC has featured Clarisonic, so keep that in mind.

Have ever been sucked in by QVC?
