Saturday night marked our third runway show from the tents at Bryant Park, and by all accounts it was a fabulous success. I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to go backstage to watch the designers, models, and stylists gear up for the event, and I even had a seat in the audience to watch each look as it came down the runway. I think with each Fashion Week, our runway shows just get better and better!

Unfortunately, being a member of the audience, I couldn't order the outfits I wanted as I saw them, so I sat there willing items to not sell out as I pined for the most coveted styles--Lori Goldstein's Ruffled Handbag, Cynthia Steffe's Ava Rose Ruched Dress, the Chloe Dao Vest, and, of course, Rachel Zoe's Snake-embossed Hobo Bag, which was totally “bananas.”



Of course, everything flew out the door as soon as it was on the air! I think I need to sign up for QVC Mobile before our next runway on Wednesday so I don't have to sit it out on waitlist!


Following the show was a cocktail party which ended up being quite the swanky, celebrity-studded affair! Mingling in the crowd with designers like Marc Bouwer, Chloe Dao, Gretta Monahan, and Isaac Mizrahi were television stars including Hilary and Haylie Duff, Weeds star Justin Kirk, actress Amanda Bynes, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub, actress Joanna Garcia, and many more. Lance Bass (formerly of *NSYNC) socialized with friends and fans, and at one point I realized I was waiting for champagne standing behind Saved by the Bell's Mark-Paul Gosselaar--he's the cute one.

I hope you enjoyed watching the show as much as I did. And the fun's just begun! In just a day we'll have a whole new lineup of more fabulous fall fashions from even more top designer names. Erin Fetherston, anybody? Don't miss it!
