Dearest Gentle Reader, If there's anything this jaded author loves more than the promise of a new social season, it's the promise of a new scandalous social season. For here in the ton, we all know the two go hand in hand, much like Queen and country. Best of luck out there, ladies. May the brightest Diamond outshine them all.

The ladies of the ton are wearing some beautiful pieces on loan from Nova Octo — if you're preparing for the social season ahead as well, be sure to use the code "KRYSTAL20" for 20% off your rental!
