Kylie Jenner shows off her incredible figure in a satin bralette and white trousers while soaking up the sun during lavish Tuscan holiday
Kylie Jenner looked as stylish as ever as she stepped out in a Pucci ensemble while soaking up the sun in Tuscany on Wednesday. The Kardashians star, 27, is spending time in central Italy with her kids Stormi, seven, and Aire, three, after attending Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Venice wedding. Enjoying some time out in the sun, Kylie showed off her incredible figure in a brown satin bralette, which she styled with a matching silk scarf. She completed her chic ensemble with fitted white trousers and kept comfortable in a pair of flip-flops. Kylie toted her essentials in a small black shoulder bag from Alaïa and kept hydrated as she carried a bottle of water with her. She shielded her eyes with a pair of dark shades and appeared to be having the time of her life as she stepped out of her luxury Tuscan accommodation. Kylie also took to Instagram to share an insight into her sun-soaked getaway, posting a slew of glamorous snaps of herself in the same outfit. She also posted a mirror selfie as she posed in a skimpy monochrome polka dot bikini, which she wore underneath a sheer white T-shirt. In an accompanying caption, she gushed: 'italian summer yes pleaseeee.' Kylie has extended her Italian getaway with her kids Stormi and Aire - who she shares with her rapper ex Travis Scott - after attending Jeff and Lauren's starry wedding. Over the weekend, the Amazon founder, 61, and his now-wife Lauren, 55, said 'I do' on the exclusive San Maggiore island in front of around 200 VIP guests. The $50million celebrations continued across the weekend as Jeff and Lauren hosted a string of high-profile parties to celebrate their union. Kylie attended the luxury festivities with her sisters Kendall Jenner and Kim and Khloe Kardashian, as well as her mother Kris Jenner. Her boyfriend Timothee Chalamet didn't appear to be in attendance but Kylie did bring along both of her children. She shielded her eyes with a pair of dark shades and appeared to be having the time of her life as she stepped out of her luxury Tuscan accommodation She fixed her colourful headscarf over her raven locks as she posed underneath a canopy of trees Also in attendance were the likes of Oprah, Orlando Bloom, Sydney Sweeney, Gayle King, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Gates and Usher, among many others. It was revealed ahead of the nuptials that Jeff and Lauren had already legally tied the knot before the official ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island. Friday's wedding, held two years after Jeff proposed to Lauren aboard his $500million superyacht, was described as 'extremely intimate' with a strict no-phone policy - with around 70 of the 200 guests being family members. The only images that emerged of the nuptials came via Lauren's official Instagram account - and photos of guests leaving the night-time celebrations were scarce. As guests arrived at the reception on Friday, they were welcomed by the stirring sounds of trumpets, violins, and a soulful Gospel choir. That same choir returned to belt out Whitney Houston's Higher Love right after the couple exchanged their vows, with guests cheering and singing along during the heartfelt moment. Opera singer Matteo Bocelli kicked off the wedding reception with a touching tribute, opening his set with the timeless Elvis Presley classic I Can't Help Falling in Love With You. The son of renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli stepped in since his father was tied up with concerts in southern Italy over the weekend.

This Albina Avenue Bar Just Relaunched with Italian Sandwiches and Big Cookies
Victoria Bar, the 10-year-old NE Portland bar, is getting a major menu facelift. Victoria is set to change over to owner Adam LeBeau's eponymous sandwich and Italian food residency LeBeau Fine Goods starting Wednesday, July 9. 'I love sandwiches more than anything in the world,' says LeBeau, who c0-owns the Lightning Bar Collective, which includes Victoria, Bar June, and the Uncanny. 'If you give me a sandwich and a cookie I'll be happy as hell.' LeBeau's schiacciata sandwiches, which will be available for lunch and dinner, are a Sicilian (or Tuscan, depending on who you ask) riff on focaccia — slightly thinner than focaccia, they're meant to work as a bread for any time of the day. Expect many vegan and vegetarian options, such as a miso mushroom sandwich and a vegan Italian with plant-based salami and ham. That said, the meaty sandwiches — including prosciutto and truffle honey, turkey pesto, and Caprese — aim to please, too. Familiar Victoria menu items like the Buffalo cauliflower and other crowd pleasers won't go anywhere; the vegan-friendly brunch menu, a hit all in its own right, remains untouched from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. On the cookie front, another LeBeau side hustle answers those cravings. He started Sticky Boy cookies as its own LLC, using the same kitchen at Victoria. The cookies sit in jars on the bar, wide-brim-looking treats like miso brown butter with chocolate chunks. 'In the first three weeks I've sold $1,000 worth of cookies just from the bar top,' LeBeau says. Still, night life in Portland broadly has suffered, he says, and he hopes LeBeau and Sticky Boy can be a part of bringing energy back to the scene. After starting three bars, he says he's seen a big shift toward the nonalcoholic scene and robust food offerings cannot be ignored. He says what used to be a 70 percent booze and 30 percent food split has evened out closer to a 50-50 in all of his bars. If he and other owners are to bring Portland out in droves again, he says this is a good place to start. 'I hope this takes Victoria back to what it used to be: a great bar, with great food, and great energy,' LeBeau says. Le Beau Fine Foods (inside Victoria Bar at 4835 N Albina Avenue) is open 4 p.m. to midnight Monday through Thursdays, noon to 1 a.m. Fridays, 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. Saturdays, and 9 a.m. to midnight Sundays.

Throwing a Dinner Party? Time to Get Some Fancy Candles
My life feels a bit brighter when there's a sexy candle afoot. I'm not talking about a boring 'seaside'-scented jar of paraffin from the recesses of the Marshall's bargain bin (although I'm not above a choice Le Labo candle dupe); I'm talking about the renaissance of incredibly specific candle aromas and shapes that have been blossoming recently. We have graduated from a time in history in which precious and varied aromas were reserved for, say, King Louis XIV's Versailles Orangerie to a time in which one can bring home a complex orange- and spearmint-scented candle at the click of a button, wherever they may live. If you love food, there's a strong chance you also love candles — and if you love hosting parties, there's an even greater chance that you love not only the posh, odor-neutralizing candles from Diptyque, but curating a selection of beeswax tapers for the dinner table or striped candles of a spring brunch. (Food-shaped candles have never been looking cooler, and there's an entire Eater shopping guide dedicated to navigating the world of trompe l'oeil candles that look like fried chicken and cherry cheesecake.) Today, I have narrowed down a selection of both my favorite candles for burning during a dinner party, as well as my favorite scented candles for making my home and kitchen smell like a Swedish princess cake or a Tuscan heirloom tomato that was just plucked from the vine. Grab your Tsubota lighter, and let's shop for the best candles for food-lovers and passionate dinner party hosts alike, whether your budget is $14 or $100. If I'm hosting friends for drinks or a movie, I'll often have a candle burning on my kitchen island for ambiance — ideally, something with a warm, inviting scent, such as cardamom, santal, or a tomato-scented candle during summer months. The first 'tomato girl summer' came and went in 2023, but the allure of finding the best vine-ripe scent has endured; today's scent-passionate folks have their pick of Flamingo Estate's iteration, which has lush notes of tarragon and pepper; the luxurious Loewe tomato candle in its chic terracotta vessel (although its $130 price tag may make some eyes pop); and plenty of newer, more affordable tomato candle options under $40. One of my favorites is Diptyque's odor-removing La Droguerie candle, which isn't marketed as a tomato candle but is made with a combination of basil, mint, and tomato leaf that smells crisp and herbaceous. When dressing a table for a gathering, it's important to make sure you're not burning scented candles that will compete with the divine smell of your chicken paprika. Leave the scented candles in the loo or the living room coffee table and opt for unscented beeswax taper candles — a favorite of Martha Stewart, no less — or tea candles that won't obstruct your guests' views of one another. If you're feeling a little adventurous, sniff out candles with intricate designs, shapes, or pops of color. Next up, the fancy hand soap aisle.
