mon mono mania

i have been doing a bang up business lately in monogrammed items..who knew that would be "the next big thing"..so retro in a way..but these things have a way of circling back in a fresh way..so what am i ..arguing? certainment non! so let us review..goyard i believe was the original of this quasi nautical/clubby look with the striping.

then LV and Monsieur marc knew a good thing and jumped on the band wagon..

not to be out done by uber brands here comes Iomoi with a great version..

and erin {gates} was totin' around this lil' tote from Oughton which i think is super..and i think it is a great look (minus the monogram)at a great price well under $200.

last but not least lil ol' me with a version on our classic mug in a great color combo. i think it's a keeper!

big thank you to elements of style

today i opened up my email and found this fantastic post entitled "jill rosenwald to the rescue" at the elements of style blog written by boston interior designer erin gates. she had said earlier in the week that she was bummed that west elm no longer carries the morroccan tile rug that was perfect for so many interiors. it turns out that a rug i design for Surya fits the bill. thanks so much for the nod erin!
