My Precious with CG Arte
They were just picked for the World Gold Council as a candidate for the annual new designers’ catalog for 2012.
Below is a pic of earrings from their new collection for Fall 2012 IDRISSA – 18 kt. gold and diamonds – suggested retail is $2000. Handmade in NY. Ring and pendants also in the collection.
The name Idrissa means immortal – celebrated through all time – and so the collection celebrates the timeless values of elegance and minimalism, bold, beautiful design statements made feminine.

Love me some @BurtsBees
I’d never used anything by Burt’s Bees, but after trying their facial cleansing towelettes, it’s safe to say that I’m a die-hard fan! My face just feels sooooo GOOD during and after using them, that I end up using like two or three at time just to pro-long that fresh and clean feeling! The pre-moistened towelettes are infused with powerful antioxidant White Tea Extract that removes dirt, oil and make-up, no rinsing required! It’s also non-comedogenic, petrochemical free, phthalates free, paraben and sodium lauryl free, and it’s not tested on animals… WINNER!

@MadMen_AMC Beauty Looks By Julie Hewett
If you didn’t get a chance to catch Mad Men’s season 5 premiere, at least get caught up on the latest spring trend — 60’s nostalgia. Makeup artist Julie Hewett created a Spring Essentials Makeup Kit and re-created three looks of our favorite Mad Men girls!
Peggy: The no-makeup makeup look never goes out of style. Just the slightest tease of blush might get you that promotion you’ve been slaving for.
Betty: I love this naughty little look! Bat your pretty lashes with this soft cat-eye and you’ll get any man crawling on his knees for you.
Joan: What’s living in a man’s world without a woman like this? Command the room with a strong smouldering smokey eye and blood-red lips.
The absolute master of classic makeup looks, Julie Hewett has worked on famous faces from Nicole Kidman to Evan Rachel Wood, and her exclusive and impressively versatile Spring Essentials kit features five products we wouldn’t face the season without: Rouge Noir Lipstick (the perfect shade of red—finally!), Destiny Cheekie Pot, Cheekie Brush, Eyeshadow Quad (featuring Bellini, Pearl, Siren, and Noir), and Mini Liner Brush.
Get the kit here and create your own Mad Men makeup look for your next hot date!
Xoxo, @missamandachen

Witnessing history in the BREAKING @LoblawsMLG
A number of us gathered in the President’s Choice cooking school of the new Loblaws Maple Leaf Gardens store, to celebrate the Loblaws world breaking attempt (cracking an 80 lb wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano). An Italian cheese expert taught us all about the history of Parmigiano-Reggiano, and Chef Tom Filippou treated us to a delicious lunch afterwards!
A yummy salad served in a crunchy (tasty) Parmigiano-Reggiano cup
