the friday five- monograms!

I love monograms.  A monogram is defined as a motif made by overlapping or combining two or more letters to form one symbol.  

Reese Witherspoon said, If it's not moving, monogram it!  

Monograms bring a sense of style and personality, particularly custom monograms.  I just had my logo designed and I love the way the "c" and "b" in my name are intertwined and have a greek key feel.

There are so many things that can be monogrammed and it is actually somewhat easy.  So many retailers offer monogramming on items for usually just a small fee.  

Here are some great monogrammed personal and home decor items that I am loving:

1.  This commute clutch from Mark and Graham.  I have this and use it as an organizer in my purse.  It is great if you just need to run quickly into a store and don't want to lug your whole bag.  It has slots for credit cards and also perfectly fits an iPad mini.

2.  Another item I have and love is this diamond pique Matouk monogrammed shower curtain.  My monogram technically came out wrong on this one.  I somehow filled the form incorrectly and according to traditional monogram standards the wife's initial should always come first.  Oh well....I still love it!

3.  Totally a classic that never goes out of style....the LL Bean Boat and Tote.  I have multiples of these and they are my go to for both visiting clients as well as weekend away bags.  We also travel up to the Adirondacks so frequently that I even got one for my dogs so that we no longer forget leashes, collars, etc.  I love the option of making a custom bag where you can choose more color combinations.

4.  Monogrammed note pads are such a special little treat.  You can use them to write an old fashioned note to a friend or for a stylish grocery list!

5.  Another item from Mark & Graham (they have the cutest things!) is this adorable plaid lucite tray.  It would be so cute for a drinks tray for the holidays!
