So Much Red Carpet, So Little Time!

     Hello and what a week!! I hope you had as much fun as I did while we were out in Los Angeles.  Simply put; I am exhausted in the most wonderful way.  It seemed like I didn’t ever stop to take a breath while I was in town but to tell you the truth, I like my life that way.  Here is a week in review with some photos {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}.


 


     Lisa and I about to take off.  Here’s a fun fact you might not have known… everyone was really nervous I was going to miss my flight.  I actually arrived at the airport early, but I thought that since we were flying out US AIR, I was in the C terminal…. Well I was wrong.  Thanks to their merger, we were in A and there was only one security line open at C.  Yes I did look at my ticket, but my only option was to take both heavy bags and walk outside.  Needless to say once through security I ran towards A and somehow made it as they were boarding zone 3.  YIKES!!



 


     My BFF Farah lives in Los Angeles and every year that QVC is there I pretty much make her move in with me.  Farah and I had lunch at one of our fav places, Lemonade and headed over to Mark Zunino’s to try on my Red Carpet dress.  While we were there, Farah found her bridesmaids dress… hahah what do you think? Subtle right?!



 


     #DinnerForTwo at Wolfgang Puck’s CUT.  I think it says a lot about someone who owns a restaurant that goes to every table in the room to make sure everyone was having a nice time.  What a gentlemen.  I think this is the best salad I have ever eaten. 



 


     Huge Shout out to Sarah Pomtempa and Tarte doing my hair and makeup.  It took a village and these girls made me feel like a princess! For hair inspiration Sarah took the headband and made it a tiara which was all kinds of fun.  Based off my dress I went to Tarte’s Instragram and found an artist’s work and went from there.  Cool right?!



 


     This was the first year we have ever had a preshow and I was so lucky to be able to host it… but I was also very nervous!  Still to this day, a lot of people don’t realize we are like 24 hours a day, and we didn’t really know how the preshow was going to end up…. We just thought we would see where it would go.  It was such a thrill! We don’t use teleprompters at all here at the Q… so here his is a behind the scenes photo of our producer trying to tell me something.  Ha!



 


 


     Celeb Crush, Nick Canon.  He was so nice and a snazzy dresser!  I stopped dead in my footsteps when Miss Piggy walked by me.  I don’t think I’ll ever be the same.  Yes, she’s even more beautiful in person!




 


     Great way to end the night.   Sandra, Lisa, and I really did think this was the best Red Carpet Style event yet.  Here is a photo of me telling a funny story about George and I didn't realize we were out of time.  We have so many monitors and I thought we had a few minutes remaining in our broadcast, but I was looking at the wrong clock! Oops!!  The last picture is with my girlfriends.  Some traveled far and near to be with me on this special night and I am beyond happy to have them in my life.  Cheers to a great show {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}.



 


 


PM STYLE:


     When I was out in Cali I was really inspired by the easy sense of style I saw out there.  Two options for tonight.  Lori Goldstein’s TSV with knit top in Spring Colors OR the Susan Graver Maxi worn as a dress with a jean jacket.  Decisions, decisions.  See you tonight!!
