Kim Kardashian’s 20.5 carat ring has been all the celebrity engagement buzz for the last week, but did she buy it herself? That is also the buzz. That fiancé Kris Humphries did not in fact choose it and buy it for her, but rather the sizeable bauble was something Kim had in stock since 2009 and obtained it during her courtship with NFL-er Reggie White—if he popped the question, she had the perfect ring at the ready. At this point of course, all of this is speculation about Kim K’s two million dollar sparkler, but it would not be the first time we’ve heard of famous ladies springing for their own bling. Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears did exactly the same. What are you thoughts on buying your own ring? Do? Don’t? Not even a consideration? Maybe because you share funds with your mister anyway?

Bridal Beauty Pick of the Week
WHAT: Estée Lauder Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator ($73).
WHY: I have been a religious user of Lauder’s original Idealist since it launched some years back, but now they have kicked this pore-minimizing, skin-boosting serum up a notch with this new miracle formula that helps further perfect the look of skin. Apply Idealist under your moisturizer day and night and watch your skintone brighten and lighten. Idealist helps reduce dark spots caused by acne, sun, age and any redness in the skin to give it a glowy, even tone. It also works quickly, taking as little as two weeks to see results. I’ve been using it for just over 10 days and already notice a huge difference. Get some!

Summer Wedding Must: Melon Macarons
You know we love our macarons at Weddingbells and the more exotic the flavour, the better. Saw a Tweet today from Maison Ladurée that they’ve launched a refreshing new flavour for summer—melon. Love the idea of a tower of melon and other fruit flavoured macarons (say stawberry and cassis?) for a garden party wedding. Fresh and fabulous eye candy.

Honeymoon Hotspot: Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris
I’ve told you about my trips to New York and London now let me tell you about Paris. One of the world’s most romantic destinations, Paris is a dream honeymoon locale for so many reasons. The food. The shopping. The history. The art. *Le sigh.* Post-Royal Wedding, I took my own honeymoon hopping the Eurostar to Paris where I stayed a few days at what is currently the city’s chicest hotel: Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris.

It’s definitely wedding season because celebrity weddings are in full swing. This past weekend, actor Sara Rue wed longtime beau Kevin Price in a sunset ceremony overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Pacific Palisades, California. Sassy redhead Rue—host of Shedding for the Wedding who recently lost 50 lbs. herself—looked glorious on her day and was bang on trend with her gorgeous rosette-trimmed gown and her Tiffany blue Aruna Seth butterfly satin peep-toe heels.

Bridal Beauty Pick of the Week
WHAT: Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara ($10).
WHY: We were already sold on Revlon’s original Grow Luscious introduced last year, but with this just-released volumizing formula, they’ve made a good thing even better. The oversize tapered brush perfectly coats each and every lash—even the teeniest ones—to give them amazing definition and plumpness. One coat will give lashes a lush lift, but try layering to create a vavavoom falsies effect. This is a luxury product at very affordable price.
