The Best Camera Apps & Champagne Quotes

“I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.”― Oscar Wilde 

This week, it’s all about the best, funniest, most inspiring things the internet had to offer this week.

Here’s our best news: There’s going to be a wedding in the Jeff Cooper family this weekend, and our Hyacinth Wedding Band was featured on fashion website Refinery 29, as one of their picks for unique platinum rings. We’re loving that!

And while we’re on Refinery 29, check out this little trip down memory lane: celebrity couples edition. (This was the best waste of three minutes. We totally forgot almost all of these!)

And the best snapshots of major fashion icons as trick-or-treaters. Adorable!

Do you love phone photography as much as we do? Here are some of the best camera apps. 

The best thing we’re cooking this weekend.

The best ways to have fun hair in a couple of seconds: accessories!

The best Halloween-y engagement shoot. 

And the best champagne quote ever.

We wish you all the best, this lovely weekend.

Bat Print, Clay Crafts & Isabel Marant for H&M

In honor of Halloween, we’re loving links that are arty, edgy, spooky, magical and just plain fall-festive. Grab a cup of mulled wine and an iPad and let’s go!

Amazing bat prints for the season.

We’re not super “crafty,” but we so want to do these chic clay crafts. The ring holders, especially. What a great engagement gift!

Apartment Therapy, stop making us want to DIY! This 10 foot candelabra is pretty great, too. We’d love it even more with more sophisticated candle colors.

Another thing to make? We can’t help loving this fall bouquet recipe.

Isabel Marant for H&M is the perfect way to give a chic designer edge to your fall wardrobe basics. And it’s going to be available online, which is swell if you ask us.

We love these creative, fantastical dreamscapes, starring an adorable baby!

And proving that words of love can be a little edgy too, is our featured image, by one of our favorite Young British Artists, Tracey Emin.

Finally, we’ll leave you with this, a true Halloween Classic. Have a spooky scary weekend!

think pink for breast cancer awareness & Cycle for Survival

October is here, and it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

We’re thinking pink, so here’s our Leah Engagement Ring, sporting a pink sapphire in support of all the brave mothers, daughters and sisters who have battled breast cancer. We are so incredibly proud and in awe of you!

And here’s another cause that’s dear to us, and that we want to promote.

Our own David Cooper is cycling to raise awareness and money for rare cancer, for the third year in a row! Cycle for Survival is a great cause, and since it’s Breast Cancer Awareness month, we want to recognize his efforts. Go David! Let’s kick rare cancer’s butt. To learn more and donate, go here.

It’s also Bullying Prevention Month, so check out the inspiring #awkwardyearsproject on Twitter.

Didn’t cry yet? Five hundred and eight adolescent girls living in poverty in 14 countries across four continents were asked what they need to have a chance to reach their potential. It’s called The Girl Declaration, and we dare you not to cry.

And here’s one last link to inspire you. This bold 8 year old girl’s activism got sexist books removed from her bookstore.

Be the change you want to see in the world, everybody! And let’s all make a difference this weekend.
