At The Peninsula, where we lay our scene. From ancient names break to new company. Where Beatrice Ho and Fred Mouawad make the Venus Collection with pearls that gleam ... Okay, that’s enough bastardised Shakespeare for one day. But like Romeo and Juliet, this 12-piece collaboration between Stanley Ho’s granddaughter and Mouawad, a fourth-generation jeweller, is sure to leave its mark.

If you love all things gorgeous and refined, like pearls, then perhaps you’ll enjoy a getaway at one of these unique luxury hotels in Asia where a stay offers a soulful immersion and a new perspective you can take home with you. Or maybe you’ll want to join us at Banyan Tree Macau on November 18 and 19 for Off Menu, Tatler Dining's flagship food festival, where you can expect two days of big flavours by star chef pairings.

Other newsletter highlights this week:

• New luxury fragrances that embody the best parts of autumn—from walks through an amber forest to a hot drink by the fire.
• On November 8, Venus returns to her home sign in harmonious Libra—here’s what that means for your star sign.
• Headed for Kuala Lumpur? Take a walk on the extra side at these restaurants that embrace a maximalist design.
• From Britney Spears to Pamela Anderson, female icons who are fighting back and telling their stories in their own words.

If your calendar is anything like ours here at Tatler Hong Kong, it’s going to be chock-a-block! Remember: pause, breathe, and smile. Until next week, have a happy Friday!
