10 – monogrammed tote - L.L. Bean is just one of the many retailers who make great canvas tote bags, the finishing touch – your initials or name! They’re a great gift – I like to gift Mrs. plus their new surname to my girlfriends getting married. Reese Witherspoon (the new Mrs. Toth) is a fan, and so am I. These roomy personalized bags are the epitome of fashion meeting function. Making a personalized statement, they’ll take you from the beach to the gym with you life in tow.
9 – initial necklace – whether you go for a initial (or name) plate like Jennifer Zeuner’s Three Initial Pendant Necklace, you can’t go wrong with this signature piece. I first fell for this style when Lauren Conrad wore hers on “The Hills” a few years ago, and with Taylor Swift also donning her letters – it still tops my wish list. This also makes a GREAT gift, I have a very happy best friend (and a generous mother-in-law) to prove it. And for those looking for a smaller plate, you can take a play from Carrie Bradshaw in “Sex and The City” with her infamous “Carrie” necklace. Single (double, triple) letters, crests and charms also work. If it’s good enough for Blake Lively…
8 – initial charm – Tiffany & Co’s initial charms work on necklaces, bracelets, anklets and more (and they come in silver, yellow and rose gold). I wear my “K” on a Links of London (sweetie) bracelet, layered with my black and copper Friendship Bracelet. More mature than the Tiffany & Co heart charm many of us grew up wearing, yet still versatile enough you can wear it every day.
7 – monogrammed towels - Ralph Lauren offers customizable bath-wear. Dry off in style.
6 – initialed bikini bottoms - J.Crew allows you to monogram your beach bottoms. Subtle, sexy!!
5 – personalized stationary - I’m a stationary addict. I love great cards and paper. There’s nothing more classy then receiving a note, thank you, or invitation from someone on their monogrammed note cards and paper. The options are endless, but I love classic initials. Send your own mark.
4 – signature candles – use initial candles to lighten up your home and your life. Smells good!
3 – initial earrings – Sarah Chloe monogrammed earrings are a great reprieve from your daily pearl and diamond studs. I love them equally in silver, yellow and rose gold. Such great go-to that can take you from day to night InStyle (as seen in). Literally.
2 – customizable sunglasses - Prada recently came out with customizable Prada Private sunglasses. We’re constantly seeing label-covered glasses, why not wear your own logo with pride.
1 – initial ring - Jennifer Kaufman’s three initial gold ring has been on my wish list for two years. Make any woman in your life glow with this as a gift, or treat yourself for a commemorative piece that you’ll LOVE forever. The initials are subtle, but the size of the ring is all STATEMENT.
Because sometimes signature style, requires some signature pieces. Enjoy!! “KD”
