The Presenter’s Gift Lounge, produced by On3, at the Emmy’s this past weekend was the place to be for many a star (and me!). For each celebrity that visited the lounge, Bertolli made a donation to two charities, Dreamstreet and Girls Inc., and they were able to donate $50,000! So what was at this illustrious gift lounge? I told you about Oprah’s favorite, TrueJeans.com, yesterday and that is Nicolette Sheridan checking out the denim above. D’Annuzio Diamonds had a beautiful array necklaces and earrings to offer, which Christina Applegate is checking out in the mirror. Jo Anne Worley loved her necklace so much that she actually wore it during the show in her Laugh-In bit. Carlos Falchi had one-of-a-kind handbags, including some of the cutest clutches, that Vanessa Williams is displaying above. What stood out most about the Carlos Falchi bags were the bright colors - not one bag was black. Having a bright bag is the easiest way to liven up your outfit! David Boreanaz couldn’t resist a hand massage at the Phyto Universe, which featured Lierac and Phyto products. I’ll be bringing you reviews on all those goodies - hair products, skincare and more - in the weeks to come and I’ll also show you the goody bag that the celebs received soon. And I absolutely love this picture of Marcia Cross trying on her Koolaburra boots, in her gorgeous gown. Koolaburra also had these great boots with fringe that I was coveting. Sarah Paulson took a pair of those and you can see them, along with tons more pics, over at the Access Hollywood Gallery. And this is just a sampling of the goodies the stars received. There were also LeSportsac bags that Stella McCartney designed, Aquaswiss watches, Nespresso machines (that makes the best espresso I’ve ever tasted), AMC year-long movie passes, custom Palm phones, and more. It was an exciting event and I can’t wait until I’m an actual guest that gets to "shop" the lounge…next year, maybe? In the meantime, it’s fun to know the "latest" that the stars will be sporting around town. Keep your eyes peeled for the stars wearing their gifts all around town!
