Bachelorette Kickoff: Black & White

My first own Outfit of The Day post on my new blog! I may adjust the banner in a few days and try and make it smaller or change it altogether

My AMAZING sisters/friends/bridesmaid took me to Miami for my bachelorette trip. They blew my mind, they had everything planned everyday and every day had a new surprise. Although each day felt like one better than the next, they planned an actual day which they would mark as my bachelorette day.

After an amazing Cleopatra Spa at Fontainebleau, I came upstairs (carried by Saima) into the room, with this beautiful decorated room!

We all went out to eat after taking 40 minutes to take pics and give mini speeches and hugs. Heres some pics and less talking xoxo

my beautiful and unique sash! I loved the front but literally died when I saw the back. It says "Keeping her Name" since I'm not planning on changing my last name

Aveeno, Miracle Night Cream: Skin Regiments

FIRST POST

So, I have a blog I have been active on back and forth -- however I really wanted to delve into beauty/lifestyle/fashion site. I didn't want to mix the two. I really plan on keeping up with this one. I finally have the energy and time! I also want to use this to talk about all my wedding prep!

What does the name mean?

I am getting married!  If you are on any of my social media then this is not any new news, and if you aren't then now you know! I have been a city girl my whole life. Grew up in NY, even living in college it was pretty Urban in Ann Arbor, then moving to Chicago and back to New York. I enjoy that fast paced life, and the plethora of people my social butterfly personality love.

Then it only makes sense that I would find the man of my dreams all the way down South right? He lives in Alabama. It's no easy decision to move your whole life for someone else, but love has a funny spell it casts over you.

Hence why cityspells to southernbelle. I plan on embracing the south and bringing some of my fabness down there when possible ;)

Product Review

I have been meaning to review this product for SOO LONG! I have been blessed with pretty good skin (KNOCK ON WOOD) I have never needed too much maintenance on it. However, as we get older and use so many different make up products our skin definitely doesn't stay exactly the same. I was sent this as a Klout Perk. I figured its free so let me use this night cream.

I went through my nighttime routine. Which is pretty simple.

I pretty much use this (click here)

A coworker who works at Sephora recommended it to me (Thanks Alex!) It is so soft on my skin and a small amount goes a long way.

Then I use one of these pads to remove any remaining residue 

Super soft and wonderful pads, I use these to remove makeup after a long day.

THEN I use this wonderful cream. A little goes a long way. I literally feel my face feel baby soft in the morning. I think it's one of those that will work for just about ANY skin type

Aveeno Positively Radiant -- Night Cream. It comes with this great mask I wear sometimes.


This is my face the next day after. No foundation or anything, and it was SOO SOFT


What skin regiments work for you?
