TALES FROM CHARLESTON: DIY BODY SCRUBS + WHOLE FOODS LADIES’ NIGHT

I’m in Charleston for the month of December this year, and I’m going to write up a few of my adventures because this is an extraordinary city full of wonderful people and things to do! One of those was a recent Ladies’ Night at Whole Foods where we sipped on bubbly and made DIY bath scrubs from ingredients you buy right there in the store – perfect for inexpensive holiday gifts. I also found a locally-made bath and body brand to try! Read on for details, pictures, links and recipes.

BLACK TIE WEDDING IN FRANCE

BLACK TIE WEDDING IN FRANCE

My recent trip to France culminated in a black-tie wedding at a chateau outside of Paris – it was amazing! And I got to wear this most beautiful dress from NewYorkDress.com that totally fulfilled my all my wildest dreams of an old Hollywood glamour look – complete with vintage rhinestone earrings, red lips and side-swept curls. There aren’t many words to describe the beauty and great friends I encountered along the way on this adventure, so I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves (mostly) on this post!

I am so excited to be heading to Paris at the end of this month for a whole week.

BELLE’S TRAVEL STYLE GUIDE – WHAT TO PACK AND HOW …

Confession: I packed ALL the wrong things for my recent trip to Mexico, and I ended up buying many items while traveling to make up for the wrong choices I’d made.

HECHO EN MEXICO – OAXACAN VEST AND ESPADRILLES

Amigos! Here is one last post before I leave San Miguel de Allende, where this Oaxacan vest and these lace-up espadrilles were two style finds that I couldn’t pass up. They are so unique, and paired with a few things I brought from my own closet, I was able to create a Belle-certified outfit of the day!
