Ralph Lauren Blue Label
Sarah Jessica Parker has been named President and Chief Creative Officer of Halston. She’ll have an equity stake in the brand, partly owned by Harvey Weinstein who’s been trying to revive the brand for several years. Sarah had launched a low-priced line, Bitten, in 2007, which was successful until the parent company (Steve & Barry’s) went bankrupt in 2008. I believe Parker’s role in Halston will benefit the brand and we’ll see great things in the near future!
I like to look at what the new contemporary designers are doing. Sometimes the fashion is geared toward a specific age group, which is fine but limiting. Designers may have a target-market age group but if they attract a lot of “fringe” either way, they’re hitting a home run and it’s good business.
akiko Yasuda is quite impressive in my book. Her small apartment T-shirt company to a major contemporary label lends belief to her talent in bringing clothing that impresses a wide range of shoppers. I bet we’ll be seeing a lot more of her work down the road.
So we had to be ready for the Grammy Awards by 10:30 am. Get up and get ready to go! My Alice + Olivia dress with BCBG stockings; Prada bag; Dior shoes; jewelry and accessories were laid out the night before. We met Grammy nominee Ruthie Foster and entourage in the hotel lobby to board the shuttle to go to the Staples Center for the Red Carpet before the pre-telecast.
The pre-tel was exciting and Taylor Swift won a few Grammy awards, which she accepted in person. She changed her dress before she went to the telecast Grammy Awards. She is a talented young artist!
The Grammy Awards were amazing! I think Pink and Beyonce excelled in their performances!
From Grammy Awards to After-Grammy party. Kathy Lanser and I keep on rockin’ !
After Party a great experience. Ne-Yo performs for the enthusiastic crowd!
We attended a VIP Grammy party hosted by the Louisiana Visitor and Convention Bureau at the year-old Grammy Museum by the the Staples Center, NOKIA Plaza, LA Live, etc. It’s a happenin’ area!

I wore my tried-and-true Laundry dress, Juicy stockings and Dior shoes. It was a perfect dress to wear as it was cool on the rooftop for cocktails.
We were treated to a mini-concert with the Magnolia Sisters followed by Zachary Richard .
During intermission, we toured part of the museum. I could have spent hours there! Visit the Grammy Museum next time you’re in LA!
A few costumes from Michael Jackson’s collection.

A terrific evening!
The trip started out “just right” watching cutie Kiefer filming outside the hotel today. Hotel starting to rock as awards attendees arrive. Reservations at 9:00 tonight at Chateau Marmont on Sunset and then onward …..
I’ve decided on the outfit for this party. Worn it before and lots of compliments and it’s funky but not overdone. At the top of my Blog page, left click on About. There’s a picture of me wearing the outfit. You can also click on Contact if you have any questions or comments. More later ……….!
There’s a delay with traveling from Naples, Florida, to Los Angeles, California. More to come; keep posted! Sign up and you get an e-mail when there’s a new message.
Okay fans, it’s getting down to serious business. The outfits are tentatively put together with accessories and I have to go through the motions to think and pack. I’ve heard there are more surprises for me with Grammy nominees and I’m excited for the opportunity.
Keep posted! Sign up if you haven’t already!
Yours in excitement, Lisa Rae
I started on a project today and Grammy fever took over. Two hours later, I have outfits together, but my bedroom and dressing area look like I was hit by a hurricane!
The dress I’m wearing for Grammy night is from alice + olivia. Stacey Bendet started a great line and I find myself purchasing more and more of this NY native’s designs when I’m looking for something fun. I’ll wear this glamorous little black dress with sheer dot stockings by BCBG and Dior high heels. Accessories: Lori Bonn earrings; bracelets-one being a purple enameled cuff by Kara Ross; eggplant headband with a big rhinestone in the middle of 5” feathers; purple Prada evening bag. Nars makeup and Estee Lauder Black Amethyst nail polish will complete the outfit.
For the flight to LA and a lunch on Saturday, I’m wearing a fuchsia DVF dress with Stuart Weitzman bone heels. I’ll use the same shoes with a black sexy number from INC for Saturday night. Friday night I have a dress from Free People, wearing with patterned tights from Juicy Couture and Michael by Michael Kors Beverly Sandals in genuine snake. Earrings and bracelets by John Hardy.
I’ll be adding to the pile as I think of things the next few days. I’m determined to have one medium size bag. We’ll see!
Meanwhile, it’s stopped raining in Los Angeles. Let’s hope we have dry weather for the Red Carpet!
