SAG Jewelry Hits and Misses

The 2010 Screen Actors Guild Awards shined a light on some unique red carpet jewelry choices for a change – some stunning, some, well, notsomuch. The winners in my book were Diane Kruger ( see my earlier post for more ), Kate Hudson in over $1 million of Cartier diamonds Marion Cotillard in over $1 million of Chopard in her hair alone (!), Christina Hendricks in another teardrop triumph (by Irit), and a glowing Christina Applegate in Lorraine Schwartz diamonds – including this unique diamond hair piece. Love it

Diane Kruger’s Tangerine Dream

SAG Awards jewelry is still dancing in my head, but before I get to my overall impressions (will post tomorrow), can I just take a moment to applaud Diane Kruger for once again killing it on the red carpet? Taking a cue from Michelle Obama’s penchant for young designer Jason Wu , Kruger stunned the crowd with a Wu (is it mustard-yellow, burnt-sienna, rustic-orange?) off-the shoulder gown accessorized with Harry Winston gold and ruby drop earrings and a series of ruby and diamond bracelets and bangles. It’s the perfect mix of ‘make an impression’ meets ‘taste’ in my book.

Lindt Milk Chocolate Gold Bunny

I think Cat summed the Lindt Milk Chocolate Gold Bunny perfectly when she insisted that she didn’t believe that “Lindt lives up to the hype”. The little bunny looks gorgeous, But the flavours don’t match the initial impression given by the packaging. Yes it may have a pretty little red ribbon on it

Sensational Sesame Treats

I’m habituated to nibbling on sweet something after a meal.Slice of orange is best in terms of nutrition.Or may be a dried fruit like date ,figs or piece of dark chocolate.If not I might even grab a cookie,even though its a less healthier choice.That’s how desperately I crave for a sweet after a meal. Having a nutty ,gooey,finger licking good treats like these in stock relieves of any guilt pangs later. Brown sesame seeds are unhulled sesame seeds,its richer source of B vitamins than the hulled white sesame seeds.Sesame seeds are excellent source of minerals like copper and manganese.They are also a good source of magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1 and zinc.Read more at WHFoods .
