Prepping for your wedding is no easy feat. From searching for the perfect gold foil wedding invitations that’ll make your guests swoon to using the right wedding planning tool to ensure that everything goes off without a hitch, it’s the little details that go a long way to personalize your super special day. And once you’ve done all that? It’s time to plan the ultimate vacay: your honeymoon! Since wherever you spend your first few days as a married pair is a place you’ll remember forever, we pulled together a list of mind-blowing destinations to help you start narrowing your choices down — starting with destinations that are a dreamy match for your astrological sign.

1. Athens, Greece: You’re known for a super strong will, so we think you should head to Athens, one of the earliest and best known civilizations in world history. With your boo in tow, taste delicious Mediterranean dishes, tour the historical sites from your favorite movies and schedule a few days to cruise around the Greek Isles. Santorini is a place you’re sure to love, with its sparkling sea and bright white buildings against the big blue sky — donkey rides up the peaks included!

Taurus

2. Macchu Picchu, Peru: The Taurus’s love for adventures is an outstanding match for Macchu Picchu, Peru as your honeymoon vacay pick. Ride the Hiram Bingham Orient-Express train for an amazing journey between two of Peru’s most adored destinations. You’ll see Cusco, a charming colonial city with a lively town square (and great shopping) before a magically scenic journey through the Urubama (Sacred) Valley unfolds before your eyes. Once in Macchu Picchu, explore the ancient citadel famous for its breathtaking views.

Gemini

3. Tulum, Mexico: A mix of awe-inspiring ancient wonders and the great outdoors will appeal to both sides of your Gemini personality. Plan to spend time sipping drinks by the beach with your beloved while snacking on tacos and homemade guac in your fave swimsuit. When you’re ready to take a break from all the beachy bliss, head for the cenotes to take a dip in one of the many fresh water holes together or scope out some of the most interesting ruins in the world. Don’t miss Chichén Itzá and the El Castillo step pyramid.

Cancer

4. Maui, Hawaii: You’re known for your love of water, so the Hawaiian Islands are an absolutely dreamy choice for your honeymoon. Hunker down in Maui to swim with turtles, then deep dive in the Molokini crater and experience an authentic luau with the person you love. Don’t leave the island without spending a day along the road to Hana. You’ll see some of Hawaii’s most amazing coastline while exploring bamboo jungles, fresh water pools and tasting coconut candy and ice cream along the way.

Leo

5. Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Bold, courageous and daring Leos like you will definitely love Dubai. One of the globe’s most impressive new destinations, you’ll share the spotlight with ultra-modern architecture (don’t miss the Burj Khalifa, the famous 830m-tall tower) and a night scene that will be tough to trump. Don’t leave Dubai without treating yourselves to some luxury shopping, beach clubs and spas. This place truly has it all!

Virgo

6. London, England: Channel your inner William and Kate in their home city. See the British Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, the clock tower known around the world, while you soak up incredible views by exploring on foot or rising above it all on the London Eye, Britain’s famous ferris wheel. It also doesn’t hurt that London is surprisingly green, which your earth sign should appreciate too. Enjoy the lush scenery with a trip to the Kensington Gardens before palace hopping or breaking for tea time. Just another day in the life of newly wedded bliss.

Libra

7. Bali, Indonesia: Since you appreciate balance and harmony, we bet you and your beau will fall head over heels in love with Bali. Not only does it boast some of the world’s amazing beaches, but the iconic Indonesian island is also home to colorful coral reefs and volcanic mountains. Popular resort towns Sanur and Nusa Dua are perfect places to hole up for some R&R, as are Bali’s famous yoga or meditation retreats. Ahh.

Scorpio

8. Monaco: Love a lavish lifestyle? Think about jet setting to Europe’s microstate, Monaco. Nestled on the French Mediterranean coastline, its known for glitz and glamour. Plan to visit Monte Carlo for the casino experience of a lifetime or to take in an Italian opera in a truly elegant setting. Make the most of your downtime by hitting the beach, shopping the luxe boutiques and sampling world-class French AND Italian food. We don’t know if there’s a better mix of cultures and tradition for a honeymoon.

Sagittarius

9. Galápagos Islands, Ecuador: Your incredible energy and genuine love for people and animals make the Galápagos Islands a worthy contender for the honeymoon destination of your wildest dreams. A volcanic archipelago, the islands sit just off the coast of Ecuador and are considered one of the top places in the world for catching wildlife views. Get the best ones by taking a super scenic (and oh-so romantic) cruise and wind down your days in an oceanside bungalow or hotel.

Capricorn

10. Florida Keys, Florida: The southernmost part of America, the Florida Keys can feel like a whole new world. Appealing to your more practical senses (which *might* talk you out of a trip that requires more intense travel), you can rest easy knowing how effortless it will be to have fun in the sun. There are tons of things to do beyond the beach, like fishing, scuba diving, boating and stand-up paddle boarding. Head to Key West for dinner and drinks (check out Duval Street) or Mallory Square for amazing views. Sunsets are celebrated nightly here, so you know they’ll be off the charts.

Aquarius

11. Caye Caulker, Belize: No shirt, no shoes, no problem — seriously! Channel your inner bohemian in Belize, one of the most underrated places in Central America. Hit honeymoon high notes by exploring the jungle, resorts and the Caribbean Sea. No trip is complete without an adventure to Caye Caulker, so make it a point to pencil this beloved island into your vacation. We know you’ll love diving, dancing and drinking along the shores with your love.

Pisces

12. Rome, Italy: Your old soul will love wandering around Rome, Italy’s capital. Stroll down twisty cobblestone streets and taste test gelato in the Trastevere neighborhood, or walk hand in hand along the Tiber River. During the day, make time to see some of the world’s most loved tourists sites, like the Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain and Colosseum. Save time for some lesser known ones too, like Villa Doria Pamphilij, Rome’s biggest park, or Villa Borghese, where you can ride bicycles or take a row boat for a spin on a sweet little pond.

I knew beauty trends were officially headed in a different direction when latte makeup dominated social media last year. Everything about it gave the appearance of soft features, making this millennial appreciate the ‘no makeup’ look more and more. And while I'm working on staying up-to-date on all the latest makeup trends, it also reminded me there are outdated trends that unintentionally age people...and definitelyneedto go.

Wanna look younger and more on-trend, too? From super metallic eyeshadow to contour that dominates your face, here are the 8 outdate makeup trends to leave in the early ‘90s to mid-2000s.

The 8 outdated makeup trends you need to stop ASAP!

1. Full Coverage Foundation

KoolShooters

There was a time where wearing full-coverage foundation was all the rage. From drugstore to high-end brands, it seems like they were consistently shoved in consumers’ faces to help us achieve a ‘full beat’ without sitting in a makeup artist’s chair. Also, those of us with dark spots or hyperpigmentation may have relied on them when we were in the thick of our skincare woes.

But these days, wearing too much foundation isn’t as popular as natural and skincare makeup are prioritized. If anything, more people are interested in wearing light-to-medium coverage foundation, skin tints, or tinted moisturizers.

2. Too Much Concealer

George Milton

It wasn’t until I watched this video by makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes that I realized some of us have been too heavy-handed with our concealers. There’s no reason we should be slapping products under the thinnest parts of our face, but we didn’t know any better!

Now that you know you can still get the desired effect with a minimal amount of concealer, don’t revert back to painting your under eyes!

3. 'Baking' Your Setting Powder

Chidi Young

Before you throw away your setting powders, step away from your makeup drawer and have a sit-down chat with me. There isn’t anything wrong with applying them to your face to help ‘set’ your foundation and concealer. However, spending over 10 minutes ‘baking’ your powder (AKA letting it sit untouched) doesn’t work for everyone.

It can lead to creased makeup which can derail your look, plus it’s a pain to correct when you’re halfway through your routine!

4. Overlining Lips

Kaboompics.com

I love a good lip liner, especially if it mirrors my favorite ‘90s makeup look. But, there’s such a thing as overdoing it. The key to lining your lips is following the natural flow of them. Going out of your way to draw above and under your lips’ lines comes off as comical and exaggerated. If anything, use a lip plumping gloss to help your lips look fuller.

5. Overtweezing Your Eyebrows

I don’t even have the words for this outdated makeup look besides wanting to say “no” 20 times in a row. But, I’ll bite and say why this shouldn’t be on your 2025 beauty moodboard.

Some people naturally have thinner eyebrows which is A-okay! However, purposely tweezing your eyebrows to smithereens is cringey. If you truly want to wear this look, here’s what you can do instead of tweezing:

  • Create a faux bleached look by applying a skin tone colored setting powder all over your brows.
  • Once they’ve ‘disappeared,’ take an eyebrow pencil or eyeliner to draw a thin line over them.

I’m…wondering what the ramifications of telling you how to do this will be, but only use go for this look if it’s a part of a themed party…like Halloween.

6. Exaggerated Highlighter On Cheeks

Milad Farhani

The shimmery look is in since it’s winter, but please don’t make it look like you dipped your cheeks into a vat of glitter. You can lightly dust highlighter onto your cheeks for a more natural glow that flows with the rest of your look. Otherwise you’ll look like a walking disco ball which could be the opposite of what you were going for.

7. Heavy Contour Or Bronzer

Laura Garcia

I know the ‘sculpted’ look is popular, but too much contour or bronzer can overpower the rest of your makeup and face. While it’s not impossible to fix if you do it by mistake, using the wrong shade of contour or bronzer may still peep through no matter how much you try to buff it out.

When in doubt, be gentle with your contour or bronzer application!

8. Incredibly Matte Makeup

Nataliia Yatsiuk

Matte makeup that didn’t budge was the ‘It Girl’ look for oily and combination skin girls! We thought it was the answer to our skin’s incessant need to hydrate our faces instead of actually using skincare products that focused on combatting that issue (psst…Vitamin C serums help!).

But now’s the time to break up with this look for good for one reason: dewy skin looks healthier.

While we have you here, learn about the outdated shoe trends you shouldn't be wearing in 2025 either.

As much as I love the wholesome parts of the holidays (like decorating Christmas cookies and opening gifts in the morning), one of my absolute favorite parts about the end of the year is ringing in a new one. 2025 is on its way, baby, and if you’re anything like me, you’re already scheming up a New Year's party plan. The key to a good time is definitely having a great outfit – and these 12 Abercrombie & Fitch party dresses are actually perfect for the occasion. I’m talkin’ sequins, mesh, and even leopard print.

Get ready to stand out this season in these drop-dead gorgeous Abercrombie & Fitch party dresses!

Drop waists will always get me. Plus, they're so flattering! This flowy maxi can be conveniently worn with or without straps to suit your personal style.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Long-Sleeve Sheer Hem Mini Dress

The scooped neckline on this stunning mini dress is mirrored along the back, which dips a bit lower for a sultry vibe. Pair with some basic heels, and your 'fit is complete.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Collared Zip-Up Midi Dress

The ruching along the front of this zip-up dress is super flattering, drawing eyes to your waistline. The high leg slit feels flirtatious as ever, which could be just the vibe you're needing for your New Year's plans.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Satin Slip Maxi Dress

Slip dresses are simply timeless and so easy to style. Lean more '90s with this foxy leopard print. I'd def wear it with some black boots and a black faux fur jacket for the drama (and more importantly, the warmth).

Abercrombie & Fitch

This meshy maxi comes with a mini-length slip along the inside so you won't have to constantly worry about coverage. The material still shows your skin in all the right places!

Abercrombie & Fitch

High-Neck Satin Sculpt Midi Dress

While the front of this sleek midi is more modest, the back features an open design that lets you show some more skin. It's definitely on the elegant side, so I'd advise wearing it to a fancy cocktail hour or more low-key NYE party this year.

Abercrombie & Fitch
