We Love: Octavia Asscher Cut Diamonds & Strawberry Scones

The indulgent weekend. It doesn’t have to be anything too involved, but the rainy weather and fall busyness have us craving some coziness and luxury. So what do you have planned for the weekend ahead?

Going somewhere elegant? We loved this timeless and easy evening look. Simple hair, a boldly lined eye and a nude lip. Add the only Little Black Dress you’ll ever need. You’re perfect and you’re done.

Need a little more glamorous inspiration? Here’s Kate Middleton looking every bit the immaculate princess.

Staying home? Nothing says love like crumbly, fragrant Strawberry-Buttermilk Scones with your morning coffee.

Unless it’s an adorable proposal featuring our Naomi Engagement Ring and a stunning Octavia Asscher Cut diamond!

Set the mood with an exquisite scented candle, and let the magic begin.

If you have a little more ambition (and more of a budget to work with) Matthew Williamson’s wallpaper designs for Osbourne & Little are so luxe and amazing. We love the tiger print for a powder room or walk in closet.

And since nothing feels as good as making a difference in someone’s life, check out charity:water, a truly inspired way to care for people in need.

Have a spectacular weekend!

Arthur Miller, Montauk Style & the best margarita

It’s well and truly summer, and in New York, we’re experiencing quite the heatwave. This week, we’re keeping it as light, cool and refreshing as a mojito on a yacht.

Hot enough for you? This beautiful essay from The New Yorker’s archives is worth a read. Written by Arthur Miller, it’s about summer in the city before air conditioning.

Speaking of New Yorkers, have you been to Humans of New York yet? You’ll be glad you did.

Cool off with Fashionista’s 10 Favorite Face Mists and 15 Floaty Dresses.

How cool are these English Countryside tours by horse?

We love Lonny’s “Pack your Bags” feature, and this one for Montauk is brilliantly chic.

What a soothing, yet sophisticated nursery. We love the grey-green paint color.

We want these iPhone cases. So much fun.

The best margarita you’ll ever have. Extra ice, please!

And lastly, a little gossip. You know we love jewelry gossip.

So, Kanye West reportedly gave Kim Kardashian a $770,000 tiger stripe diamond ring for a push present. Would that look like this? We’re having a hard time picturing it.

You don’t know about push presents yet? We’d actually rather see Miss K. in one of these.
