And while I love the upper crust look of a simple set of initials in a
modern font, my favorite example of the artistry of monograms has always been
the ornate interlocking letters that adored many a Renaissance portrait sitter;
the designs of Hans Holbein the Younger being a particular favorite.
Perhaps
that’s why I often gravitate to monograms with a bit of a Renaissance and
Baroque flourish. The history nerd in me always wins out. Always.
Are you as mad for monograms as me?

Monograms are classic. You can't really go wrong with them! Plus, they are so personal which makes something that extra fabulous.
I am mad for monograms NOW. I need something monogrammed for sure

I dont think I have anything that is monogrammed but I like the preppiness of it
Interesting post. I've had my keen eye on that Stella McCartney shirt ever since it popped up on NAP. Pity about its price tag. Keeping my eye out for something like it in the charity shops though. You never know, might get lucky. ;-)
I've gone monogram crazy ever since I had the lil' lady bean!
