Sara Blakley –  who is  the founder of Spanx and one of my mentors -  told me five years ago that I should go on QVC. She said that QVC really made her a brand name. It has always been my dream to make fashion more fun, versatile, and simple for women, and so the more people that know about the brand, the better.  You can imagine my excitement when QVC invited me on to share LP with an even larger audience of women looking for both style and comfort!

I flew up to Pennsylvania Sunday evening to film a 3:30  segment for Monday.  Yes, that’s AM!! ( One thing is for sure: It is not an easy job to be a host!) Like anything else in life it was an “unknown”, so I was nervous at first. Luckily for me, I had already flown up for an all-day course and training before hand, so I had an idea of what to expect. I’m not going to lie and say it was easy to stay up all night… It has taken me an entire day to get back to normal! But my excitement got me through it, and before I knew it I was filming the segment.

Here's where I got ready to go on set, complete with my gold Gwens :)

Many people ask me what it’s like to be on television.  I’m still trying to find the secret… the more I do it, the more comfortable I am. When you believe in something so much, it makes it easy. Once you get over those initial jitters, it’s very exhilarating to share your story and your products with so many people. I get such a thrill out of inspiring others to chase their dreams, so I feel like every time I get to share my own story of how LP was started, I am hopefully stirring passion, creativity, and inspiration in others.

Many ladies prefer to shop exclusively with QVC, so sharing our products with this fabulous network is a great way for more women to discover and fall in love with our products. I want our fans to feel like they have many LP outlets – whether that be our website, your favorite LP-carrying retailer, or television! LP is all about choices, so we are thrilled to add an additional one to the mix :) xoxo

Me with the panel of speakers...amazing ladies!

I had an absolute blast at the Orlando Women’s Conference last Friday, where I was asked to speak! It is so important to empower other women – we all need that extra push, and I believe in helping others. As part of my presentation, I shared the things that I have found essential to running LP: Don’t be afraid to fail, Ask others for advice, and Trust your gut! As women, we have such powerful intuition and we need to learn to tap into it more. But we also can’t be afraid to stumble or ask for input along the way…it’s all an integral part of the journey.

My absolute favorite part of this day was just seeing how truly amazing women really are. We do it all – Running fun businesses, giving birth, and keeping our families rolling forward. It’s so inspiring and energizing when we take a moment to observe all that we do. Everyday is a gift…enjoy! xoxo

What are your favorite toenail polish colors for this spring/summer?

There are a lot of great polish colors to choose from this spring –pastels are especially trendy. I’m really noticing a lot of minty green toes lately – so fun!! I find that it’s best to go for colors that you naturally wear a lot of, so I stick with pink and coral hues. If you’re unsure, go through your closet to assess what colors you wear the most,  and find a similar or compatible color for your toes.

Are you loyal to a particular brand?

I love OPI, Essie, or Deborah Lipman – these are all good-quality polishes that are bubble and chip proof :) I keep these on hand for in-between pedicure touch ups.

We actually have a fun pedicure kit at Lindsay-Phillips.com called the Pedi-Set-Go. I love it – You get a pair of Jordi flips flops and three mini bottles of polish – and it just happens to be on sale!

How important are pedicures?

Since I am in the shoe business, I am always looking down at my feet…..I think of it as part of my job. I’m constantly showing off my shoes, so my toes have to look great. But as much as I adore getting pedicures, they’re honestly not necessary all of the time if you really take care of your feet at home. Follow a good at-home system, and you’ll only need to go for a pedicure once every few months or so. And when you do go, splurge for the paraffin wax….It’s amazing what a difference it will make. If you’re on a budget, just get a polish change, which should be under $10.

What is your prescribed at-home regimen?

Using a good scrub and lotion is essential! I have been using Origins scrub for years. It’s great for your feet and even your legs. A good scrub will help slough away dead skin and keep those rough patches we all hate at bay. As for lotions, I am in love with Cuccio Milk and Honey Butter. I used this thought my entire pregnancy and I can’t live without it….It really helps my legs and feet. I use it everyday.  And once a week, I use Aquaphor Healing Ointment; I slather it on before bed, put on some socks, and let this miracle stuff go to work. This is like a masque for your feet…It really works!

Any pedi no-nos?

I really think it makes a difference to avoid walking around barefoot too much. At home, you’ll almost always see me in slippers or my black Kelli’s…They give me the arch support I need without being too fancy! xoxo

Lindsay had so much fun greeting fans last weekend at the all-new (and first of its kind) Lindsay Phillips Kiosk at South Park Mall in Charlotte, NC!! SO many LP enthusiasts…so many choices ;)

This past Saturday, Lindsay met fans at The Bronze Lady in Madeira Beach, Florida. Check out all these lovely ladies updating their spring wardrobes!!!

From Nicole to Gwen, we pride ourselves at LP on designing stylish wedge shoes that are both versatile and comfy. Belle - brought back by popular demand – is a core wedge  shoe for the woman who wants a “hip” lift as I call it. Belle is an also EVA wedge. EVA is a thick, environmentally-friendy foam with great shock absorption, which is part of the reason Belle is so super comfortable. So you get the height of a 2 1/2 “ heel, with the comfort of a flip flop. Genius, don’t you think? ;)

Belle’s signature strap this season features polka dots, and as I shared in my Spring Fashion Trends blog, polka dots are huge this season! With colored jeans and patterned pants being so popular this spring, the contrast of polka dots really helps you achieve that pop of color you’re going for.

Here I’ve paired Belle in black with pink straight leg jeans, rolled up so you can show off your wedges, and a simple white tee  matched with a spring-friendly neutral cardigan. I’m all about utilizing your closet staples, so any neutral-colored top and light-weight cardigan or jacket that you have will help achieve this look.  Add a whimsical scarf like the Sunburst Coral scarf shown above or even a funky pair of earrings in a different color family than your bottoms. If you’re really looking to experiment with color, pair Belle with a different strap – either one that brings out the color of your pants, or a complimentary color (Shown above are Celia & Sally). This look is fun, classy, and best of all –EASY!

I love this ensemble featuring our Brown Belle! This is a great example of how you can take a bright, spring-colored dress (like this season’s emerald green), pair it with a fun belt (I went with coral, but any other color or even neutral belt you have in your closet will look just as fab), add some funky, seasonal costume jewelry, and a wedge sandal like Belle.  The color palette that you choose is honestly up to you, but the idea is that you can create many different looks using the same dress and shoes! Keep Belle neutral with a strap like Cassandra OR, go for something more colorful like Lani.

If you haven’t used our mix and match feature @ www.lindsay-phillips.com, you’re really missing out. There are dozens of fun looks you can achieve, whether you’re going for a Classic, Glam, Urban, Sporty, or even Vintage look. Happy matching! xoxo

PS: If the Belle wedge is just a little too high for your taste, consider Taylor wedge, which features the same comfortable EVA footbed, with a smaller  1 1/2” heel.
