Kanye & Kim engaged

Kanye & Kim got engaged, this weekend, in a stadium he rented for the purpose. It was more romantic than it sounds, we think. There was a 50 piece orchestra and everything!

So congratulations, to Kimye. We wrote about their incredible push present here. With their flair for dramam and luxury, we bet the wedding will be epic.

And today, everyone’s talking about the ring, of course, including us!

Our own David Cooper spoke to Forbes.com about the smaller but better quality diamond, saying that the most important element in selecting a diamond is the emotional significance.

“To me, what’s most importance when viewing any stone is what the stone says to you,” David told Forbes. “A diamond like a person is unique and it should have a presence, personality and beauty all its own—regardless of color and clarity.”

We love that sentiment! Like a marriage, your rings are really about what you find in them: love, partnership and eternity. We hope Kanye and Kim find all that and more!

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.

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.
