Summer’s come to an end, and we’re knee-deep in fall fashion. But right now all I can think about is the perfect purse for an upcoming destination wedding in Anguilla this November. And I’ve found it – the St Louis Tote by Goyard. I’m not alone. This go-to can be see all around the globe on celebrities and fashionable girls. Many have several styles and several colors (the Kardashian clan is in double digits by my count). Gwyneth monogrammed hers “G.K.P.M”, which I assume stands for ‘Gwyneth Kate Paltrow Martin’. Diane Kruger stops traffic with yellow and red stripes, and Nicky Hilton has a trifecta of red, yellow and green with her initials. Monogrammed or not, the St Louis is a chic beach bag, carry-on, diaper bag, gym bag, and commuter go-to. I’m currently dreaming about the white one Cameron Diaz wore in “What Happens in Vegas” – among others.
And because my fashion operations always come with a twist, Goyards are hard to come by. Sold by select Barneys (in stores only) and a few Bergdorfs (same); your best bet is to visit (or call) the only US Goyard boutique, located in San Fransisco. eBay is another option, but be wary of fakes. The only remaining question is, do I want white à la Nicole; light blue à la Gwyenth; bright blue à la Kendall; orange à la Kris; yellow Kim and Kourtney; or black à la Hilary? Decisions!!

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”
