I have SO had monograms on the brain lately. Well, really ever since I saw this chart of monogram styles. I have taken the liberty of highlighting my favorites in yellow, for your reference.
While I can't claim I love the idea of personalizing outright, there's always something so cool about things like "His and Hers" or...just the hint of a person's initials...arranged in the classic style...
Of course, when I was little, monograms- especially those with MY initials, were a frivolous luxury. Hearty little NewEnglander that I was, I had to be content with wearing Sara Fertitta's hand-me-down LL Bean sweaters. And hoping, just hoping, that all the kids would think that the typographic S.A.F. on my chest was a logo for the coolest new brand ever.
