a Sailing ship kite & seasonal sweets

Last list o’ links before Christmas! Here’s some end of week fun to get the holidays started right, and we’ll see you next week!

Tomorrow is the last day to view the legendary Yayoi Kusama’s art show in NYC.

We love these pops of pink. What a beautiful break from winter grey, right?

Great sophisticated party dresses for New Years Eve. 

On our reading list, Jacques Costeau’s The Silent World.

We love this date idea: learning to play pool!

This sailing ship kite is so magical!

And if you have some time (and calories) to spare, here’s seasonal sweets galore.

we love: Feel Good Friday

This week we’re making room for freshness and joy in life. It’s going to be a snowy weekend where we live, so this week, we’re all about chilling out, and blissing out.

“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.” — Joseph Campbell

We’re sharing links about humor, small indulgences and being festive. It’s about feeling good!

Care to start the weekend with a beautiful breakfast?

This is fun. A French cafe charges more for rudeness.

This chandelier is cool and unexpected. Stay tuned, because Apartment Therapy is giving away this and other designer home accoutrements all next week.

An instant pick-me-up, and a must for a ring finger manicure for the newly-engaged: glittery nail polish.

If you want someone to propose, forget engagement chicken, make these. Gluten free, but simple, but decadent. What more can you want in a peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie?

Eat it snuggled under here with someone special.

And watch Beyonce’s 17 music videos she released last night.

And finally, here’s something unique and amazing to dream about tonight. Our featured image—a custom marquise cut Tara Engagement Ring.

Have a spectacular weekend!

Romantic Proposals & Masala Chai Tea

As St. Francis Xavier said, “Be great in little things.”

And this is what we’re meditating on this week. The love you pour into little moments, small gestures, fine details, it all adds up to who you are and what you stand for.

Let’s make this weekend ridiculously amazing, one little thing at a time!

Like this: this week we heard from Ryan, who wrote, “She said… yes! I just got engaged last week with a beautiful custom ring you all made.” Our featured image is his amazing, heartfelt proposal.

And here’s the ring, nestled in a red, red rose!

So gorgeous, right?

Now, let’s take a moment to make it feel like a fall weekend from heaven.

Who needs a pumpkin spice latte when you can create something spicy and warm to hold and savor: A lovely cup of chai tea!

Want more warm, cozy love? Carrot soup is awesome.

Okay, one more! Vegan carrot cake with coconut whipped cream. Amazing and seasonal.

Are you too tired to go out? Got kids? Don’t give up on romance! Try this adorable “Date Night In.” Then, try this one.

Actually want to go out and feel that crisp air? Here are NY’s food events this fall. Yum.

Getting married? We never get over ombre wedding details. Never, ever. It’s so pretty! The pink is perfect with these rose gold Jeff Cooper designs.

And check this rose gold stunner, a recent custom design for one of our couples!

We love this refined, simple cake topper, too. Cute, but not cutesy.

Congrats to the beautiful Jeff Cooper couple Ryan and Jessica!
