I decided to put together a fun little gift bag for each of the ladies on our recent trip to Anguilla and St Barths. The highlight of these was definitely the adorable robes from Plum Pretty Sugar!
I am wearing the Swish Skirt Robe Lovely No. 1 which is part of their Castelbel & Trumpet Collection. I truly adore how comfortable these are, in addition to how darling it is! Also, if you’re like me, you’ll love all the cute sashes you can buy to mix and match and make it your own! I think it’s an essential item for your honeymoon or getting ready on your wedding day.
Thank you so much Plum Pretty Sugar for being so sweet and for keeping me ladylike while I lounge!

One the best pieces of advice I can give you when planning your honeymoon is to arrange a surprise for your sweetie! Who doesn’t love a surprise and this trip already is so thrilling that a surprise is going to take it over the top, which I believe every honeymoon should be!
Most of my couples have do things for each other based on their interests. I had a bride set-up a surpirse fishing trip for them to go on together one because he was a huge fisherman. Another time I had a groom arrange for a wrapped box of Louboutins to arrive to the hotel room for her to wear out that evening for their first dinner.
Making special upgrades that are unexpected can make for a memorable and exciting time and not as much planning. How about arranging for helicopter transfer on arrival or setting up a private dinner on a private rooftop. Taking a peek at what your resort offers is a quick way to make arrangements.
This one is for very daring couples only! I’ve had grooms plan the entire honeymoon! The bride didn’t find out where they were going until they got to the airport. Can you imagine? I mean, how do you pack for that?!
Happy planning!

Jaimi from Fiore Beauty is heading off on a fabulous vacation to South Beach and Anguilla. Before she left, I asked her to share what she will be bringing along in her makeup bag. Hopefully this will help you pack light and look fabulous on your honeymoon! Thanks so much Jaimi!
I’m leaving for my amazing trip to Anguilla and South Beach that I had the luxury not to do anything to plan thanks to Katie, but I do have to plan what beauty products will make the cut for our tropical vacay. The beauty goal for warm beach trip is to work with the warm climate, relax your routine, and still look effortlessly gorgeous.
It’s not fun to have your man waiting in paradise while you do your full beauty regimen! Here’s while I’m packing to keep pretty on the island.
1. Boscia BB Crème } BB Crème is short for beauty balm and Boscia’s is my fave. It’s a SPF, moisturizer, foundation, concealer, and mattifier all rolled into one… like a tinted moisturizer on steroids. That’s about 5 steps knocked out of your regimen and 5 less containers to carry for great looking skin!
2. Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Bronze} Part bronzer, part blush, part luminizer, part eye shadow, part magic, enough said. I love this little thing.
3. MAC Lipstick in Costa Chic and Quick Sizzle} When in a tropical place you either go very natural or very colorful. These lipstick colors are all you need for your pop lips. A simply made up face, even poolside without mascara, and these babies will do the trick!
4. MAC Crème Blush in Posey} I love crème blush and this color makes everyone look flushed and summery.
5. Kate Spade Makeup Bag} This cute little bag is the perfect size for traveling with all your summer time beauty treats.
6. Orofludio Beauty Elixir for your Hair} There is all sorts of humidity in tropical places, lets not fight it because we’ll lose. Then there is salt water and sun. I’m just bringing Orofludio. This hair oil is just special and will fix all things that islands do to hair. Also, it smells so pretty and sexy which also is perfect for tropical vacations.
