Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Inspiration: Paradise Island, Bahamas
Last week, I experienced a delicious taste of the tropics with a four-day jaunt to Bahamas, specifically Paradise Island where I stayed at two very different, but equally amazing properties: One&Only Ocean Club and Atlantis.

Bridal Beauty Essential
WHAT: Kiehl’s Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50+, $36 (50 ml).
WHY WE LOVE IT: We are all about daily sunscreen and this summer in particular we’ve found the sun particularly strong on our delicate facial skin. This sunblock is not thick and goopey, but rather light and serum-like and packs an ultra-protective SPF 50 punch. It is oil-free and when you smooth on skin it quickly dries to a smooth (never greasy), matte finish. Apply daily over moisturizer and under makeup, and stock up for your honeymoon because nobody wants a sunburn or sun damage as a wedding present.

Kate Moss Weds In Galliano
Those rumours were true that John Galliano would be designing the wedding dress of friend and favourite supermodel Kate Moss. Moss wed Jamie Hince from The Kills today wearing a gorgeous vintage-inspired sheath dress delicately detailed with sequins and whisper light layers of chiffon. Like other recent bride Kate Middelton, Moss chose to outfit her bridesmaids in white—consider white dresses now a bonafied bridesmaid trend. Moss and Hince’s wedding celebration is an epic three day one, rumoured to be costing upwards of five hundred thousand pounds. Visit British Vogue for more photos and details of Moss’ wedding weekend.
