Hey Beauties. I stopped by the HSN Studios yesterday to attend a blogger event with the retail giant. I have always been a fan of HSN and when I was presented with the opportunity to visit their studios, I was uber excited. Located in St. Petersburg FL, the iconic retailer hosted myself and a couple other bloggers from the Tampa Bay Area. I had the pleasure of meeting the President, VP of Public Relations and other members of the HSN team. The visit consisted of a tour of the grounds, which provided an indebted and behind the scenes look at what started as an on-air radio program selling can openers to a brand that has revolutionized the home shopping experience. Yup, that’s right. Can openers. How is that for an inspirational story? Thirty plus years later and HSN is still at the forefront of revolutionizing the interactive home shopping experience for millions of consumers.
It was truly fascinating to witness the ins and outs of the corporate, studio and broadcasting operations. Prior to my tour, I had always envisioned that the on-air programming was a scripted process. I was wrong. Designers, hosts and models are always live and never scripted. The amount of work that it takes to prep the set, wardrobes, etc was quite fascinating. As a style and interior design enthusiast, I was blown away by the style and interior design elements throughout the spaces. Read along and check out some of the images captured of this fabulous event.
I met fellow bloggers and handbag designers Tina Craig and Kelly Cook of Snob Essentials. Their handbag collection is so fabulous. The green bag I am holding was a sample that I absolutely fell in love with. Sadly, it wasn’t available for purchase. Check out their fabulous HSN line here.
HSN debuted their annual fall fashion series, The Fashion Edit. They’ve curated an exciting collection of brands to enhance the customer’s experience as they transition from summer to fall. One of the brands on board is G by by Giuliana. A line designed by the E! News TV personality and Journalist.
Our gracious host of the evening. I learned a great deal during our tour.

You guys know that style & decor is my thing. I’ve gotta tell you, I was so in awe of how fabulous and well styled all of the sets and spaces were.
I got to play around in the closet.
Giuliana Rancic showcased her fabulous moto inspired jackets. Which are fabulous by the way. You can check out Giuliana’s line G by Giuliana on HSN

I got to hang out in the beauty bar. It was fun times. I’m sure the look on my face tells it all.
