DO YOU MONOGRAM?

Have you noticed the trend for monogramming?  Whether monogramming for the home or fashion, these decals are making a huge impact.  When I think of monogramming, I think of the older days; like a gentleman or a ladies handkerchief, a pair of cufflinks, or table linens.  Everything seemed more personal; had meaning of importance that could be past down to generations.

I love the look of anything monogrammed.  I think it creates a clean, polished and organized look.  I actually don't have anything monogrammed and need to!  I would love a set of monogrammed sheets or table napkins.

Take a look at some of my favorite looks.



Homme Signet Ring (Mark & Graham).  Such a classic look on a man.



Sonya Layered Charmed necklaces (Mark & Graham)



love this simple embroidered duvet with monogram - Ballard Designs.  Clean and simple! Perfect for a Spring/Summer look

Linen Hemstitch Guest towels - Pottery Barn

I'm loving these art deco inspired monogrammed dinner napkins from Julia B.  I could see these on my table (lol).



Monogrammed Wine Decanter - Williams Sonoma.  This would make a great host/hostess gift with a bottle of wine.



Monogrammed tray - Swoozies





Do you have anything monogrammed?  If so, share your looks.

High/Low Look

Like most women, I love fashion!  Sometimes, too much.  For some of us, okay maybe just me, wished money grew on trees.  My hunger for shopping is bigger than my wallet (lol).  The responsible side of me saves for rainy days too. 

When shopping, I try to choose pieces that are classic and not too trendy. I also pick pieces I can wear to work and mix it up with on the weekend. 

Here are two looks I created.  One, a high end for those who can afford a little luxury and the other, a low end for those watching their wallet.  

Happy Monday!

CRUSHING ON FASHION JEWELS

Accessorizing your wardrobe with fashion jewelry is such a trend these days.  I love some of the necklaces with rich jewel toned colors and those that sparkle with gold and silver.

Layering pieces with these jeweled beauties adds the final touch to any wardrobe.  Whether your look is business causal, a night out on the town, a social function or jeans and a button down blouse or sweater, adding fashion jewelry really completes the look.

What are some of your favorite pieces?
