@SchonMagazine Pre-Olympic Fashion Party
The 2012 Olympic Games will be held in London town this year, and it looks like everyone is cruising in to town on some really high technology. The German embassy kicked off the festivities with a gorgeous party on their Deutschland boat.
Tonight’s lavish party was hosted by Schon Magazine‘s Editor-in-Chief, Raoul Keil. PS: he’s wearing a Hugo Boss suit. I can’t believe it!
And look who I found! Toronto’s own fashion beau Yossi Fisher looking cute as ever in that yellow bow-tie.
Although there’s definitely a lot of competition going on with the International attendants tonight. Check out these punk kids!
There was also a cute photo booth posted by Coco Photobooths with lots of hats and other accessories to play with. Here are some of my fave looks of the night.
Oh, and let’s not forget the very German food served. Can we say sausage and cheese? YUM!
Stay tuned for more Olympics madness by yours truly, in London!
Xoxo, @missamandachen

@DisneyPictures Does it Again!
As a child growing up Disney Movies were my life. I would sit there on the couch and watch all the movies over and over again. I loved how simple they are. To this day, when I just want to watch a movie and not have to think so hard about the plot, the first thing I go to is the Disney Movie Collection. My favorites being Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast.
Disney is known for their girly Princess movies. Well, contrary to what you might think, this next movie is actually perfect for both genders. The name is , Wreck-it Ralph. The main character, Ralph, a video game character is sick of being the bad guy next to Felix, the hero of the game. To try and prove he can be a hero he leaves the video game. He ventures off onto a journey through all the arcade games to just prove he is a hero too. But when he unleashes a deadly villain that threatens the entire Arcade, will he be able to be the hero he wants to be?
On his journey he meets different characters and joins them in their specific games. Some of the pictures are from different games Ralph travels too.
The voice of Wreck-it Ralph is played by John C. Reilly, the voice of Fix-it Felix is played by Jack McBrayer, the voice of Sergeant Calhoun is yours truly, Jane Lynch from glee. These are just few of the many voices of video game characters throughout the movie.
I’m so excited for this movie to come out in November. When I saw the WRECK-IT RAPLPH trailer I was amazed, Disney has done it again! This movie will be available in Disney Digital 3D too.
This movie is definitely going to be added to my Disney Movie Collection.

@EssieCanada Pop Up Nail Bar
Can you believe the girls at NKPR held a pop up nail bar in their office? So jelly. I had to pay a visit and get a little royal treatment of my own. After all, we know how exhausting looking fabulous for Fashion Week can be. This is a perfect way to unwind in the middle of the week!
Essie Weingarten was in town and showing off some blinging nail colors for the summer. After all the pops of color off the runway during Toronto’s World MasterCard Fashion Week, of course we’re seeing lights, camera, action and bazooka — the four fabulous neon shades in the Poppy Razzi Collection.
And what better way to get a manicure than with candied hearts? I think my pick of the day is the neon tangerine color, ‘action.’ They come out super bright and matte because there’s so much pigment in them. I can’t wait to put these colors on my toes for the summer!
Stay beautiful! @missamandachen -

Holidays in Brooklyn was amazing. No snow yet but this year sure went by fast. Spending with my boo and his family made it all the more special.
So this is my 2011… Wonder what is gonna happen in 2012?
Here is the book I recommend to kick start what you want. Love for Self is the most paramount thing for me this year.
