CMT Awards Red Carpet for Southern Living

I had such a great time on the red carpet covering the CMT Awards for Southern Living last night!  What a blast.  I had two career highlights - A fun conversation with Lady Antebellum and being the recipient of an improptu serenade by Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard.  I promise that the video highlight reel is coming up soon!

In the Southern Suite Green Room backstage.

I loved meeting Jennie Garth!

Are you feeling the American Idol love?

I'll post a link for the highlight video as soon as I have it!  Can't wait!

Bottega Veneta Party Tonight!

I am so honored to be hosting a party at Bottega Veneta tonight.  We are honoring the North Texas Food Bank Food 4 Kids program that I am co-chairing again this year.

This season is full of bright colors, wide corset belts and fabulous platform shoes with a surprise punch of color.  Here are a few of my favorite looks from Bottega...

Snap Button Front Gown

Chocolate and Pink Platform Sandal

Pink and Nude Heel

Ruffled Silk Dress - so lady like!

and their classic Veneta Minaudière - I have one from ten years ago that I still carry often!
