Blogs

I wanted to share some photos with you from my time in Los Angeles. This is one of two blogs I’ll be posting to give you a glimpse into Red Carpet Week. This blog includes photos starting with my arrival in L.A. on Tuesday and goes through the Red Carpet Style event on Friday evening. Tomorrow, I’ll post photos from my visit to Chaz’s studio and new home, as well as Elton John’s viewing party with my fabulous date, Cameron Silver. It was a busy week, so we split it into two parts.

GOOD MORNING, LOS ANGELES! It was so nice to be able to wake up three hours later (according to my body clock) and still get to enjoy the sunrise.

Courtney and I are in love......with this amazing restaurant called "Lemonade.” It’s so good!!!! We found it right next to Mark Zunino's boutique on Beverly Boulevard. Have any of you ever been there? If you ever come to LA, you have to try it!

Mark Zunino sent me a picture of them working on the fabric for the dress. It’s breathtaking in its intricacy. This is the women doing beading, stitching, and ribbon for the body of it.

I had the best time at lunch. Courtney's friend Farrah lives in town and they were kind enough to let me tag along. You know people are nice when they have known each other for years, but they didn't make me feel like the “new person" in the group. We went to the "Ivy" on Robertson and the food was great too.

I had a meeting with Bradley Bayou on Wednesday. Love that guy! He’s such sweetheart and so talented!

I had the pleasure of meeting with Kate Somerville at her Medi-Skin Clinic. It’s beautiful. You can tell that she has a passion for interior decor as well as skincare. She has such beautiful taste in interiors.

Lori Goldstein and I attended a dinner with a gathering that included the QVC executive team.

I had the best time meeting with Lisa Rinna on Thursday. The only problem is that we had such a good time talking and hanging out that I was late for another meeting!

This is a photo of the racks of clothing for the show. Do you recognize anything?

Courtney, Amy, and I had a wonderful time together. I love them.

Courtney’s dress was beautiful and so were the accessories. She was styled by Jen Rade, a celebrity stylist who debuted her line of clothing on Friday night.

This is Jen Rade and Lisa Rinna posing for a photo. Love this shot!

After celebrities walked the red carpet, they had the chance to experience the “Instaglam” suite with our social media correspondent, Jeannie Mai. It’s pretty incredible to see how social media impacted the party. You can see tweets and Instagram posts live stream on this wall. 

Because of all of the “tweeting” and such, the social team brought their HALO chargers to refuel when their iPhones started to run low.

Here’s a view from the party.

Jill Martin was our red carpet correspondent. She interviewed celebrities on the red carpet for QVC. Here’s a photo of her and Courtney doing a live hit from inside the party. Did you see her tote bag in the show?

Here are Jill and Jeannie posing together at the Instaglam suite.

Here’s Courtney again in between her “duties.” Her boyfriend Aaron and friend Farrah were able to attend as well.

Don’t forget—another blog is coming tomorrow!
