New Year’s Eve Hostess Gift: Champagne Truffles from Teuscher Beverly Hills

So along with everyone else in the world, I’ve decided to try and get in shape this January as part of the “new, healthy Jamie” plan 2010.  We’ll see how it goes…but for now, I’m pretty obsessed with my latest guilty find- Champagne Truffles from Teuscher Beverly Hills.  Each chocolate is a delicate truffle blend of fresh cream, butter and chocolate with a champagne (um, Dom Perignon, btw) cream center surrounded by a dark chocolate ganache, enrobed in milk chocolate and dusted with sugar.  It’s pretty much heaven in your mouth.  I stumbled upon Teuscher Beverly Hills when I attended an event on Rodeo Drive a few weeks back and I could literally smell the chocolate from down the street…I was being called in.  It was fate.  These truffles also happen to make the perfect hostess gift for any New Year’s Eve party…or just for you.  Mine are for me and I have no intention of sharing!

House of Harlow by Nicole Richie for bebe

So I was lucky enough to attend the launch party for House of Harlow by Nicole Richie for bebe last week at bebe’s Rodeo Drive store in Beverly Hills.  The event was fab and the jewelry, even better than expected.  The best part about the collection is that Nicole and bebe have created a one-of-a-kind keepsake bracelet that is sold in bebe stores and bebe.com throughout December with 25% of sales donated to the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation.  Sadly, Nicole was too sick to attend the launch event but I did manage to spot Nick Verreos, of Project Runway fame and Lou Diamond Phillips, who I most recently watched on my guilty pleasure, I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.  What did I purchase?  The Aztec Necklace in black.  Such a statement piece.
