Monograms will not be going out of style anytime soon.  Personalization is everywhere, even in today's economy.  It's common to see the typical monogrammed stationery, embroidered linens, custom doormats, and small leathergoods.  Also on the market are a few extremes, like a meat brander by Williams Sonoma so that you can burn your initials onto your steak as it grills.  Why do we like monograms?  Is it an assertion of ownership and territory?  Is it narcissism?  Or, do we simply develop a fascination with the letters in our own names over time?

Hopefully you didn’t expect to find the answers to those questions in this blog.  But, we can show you an affordable monogram pendant that you’ll wear with pride.  It also makes a super gift.   These pendants are accented with Cubic Zirconia and they are a great size, too...adaptable for necklaces or bracelets.

Great ways to wear a brooch:

-Incorporate it into your hair in an updo style (after your hair is styled)

-On a V-neck dress or V-neck top, pin it at the base of the V.  It will give the garment a new life.

- On a bulky top or sweater, gather the extra fabric in the back. It can feminize and slenderize you if done correctly.

-Pin onto an evening bag

-Clip it on a ring for a bold look!

-Use it to pin a scarf perfectly into place on your outfit.

This pin is a bold, but timeless option from Zulumoon.com.  It is black/silver, so it is versatile with your wardrobe, and the large asymmetrical metalwork makes it a definite statement piece.

The pop culture phenom “I Love New York” marketing logo was created in 1977 by Milton Glaser.  It has since spawned thousands of knockoff signs and logos.  Over the past few years, some among us have resorted to pronouncing the “heart” character as it is written.   Do you say “I love this fettuccini!”?  Or, in a romantic moment, do you utter sweetly, “I heart you”? 

What do you say: “I heart ___” or “I love___”?   I don’t know, but you can fill in the blank with this ring.

There are 100+ other heart rings at Zulumoon.com.  They are great for yourself, or a loved one.

Maybe Beyonce has a point in her big smash hit, “All You Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”.   No lady should be walking around with bare fingers merely because of her relationship status.  I have never felt that a diamond-like sparkle should be reserved for those who are married or engaged.  I’m glad that Zulumoon.com backs me up on this by making CZ jewelry easily accessible and affordable.  Ladies, there is nothing wrong with wearing something that looks like a diamond while you’re still single. 

Valuable tip:  If you’re “on the market”, so to speak, you might want to avoid wearing them on your traditional ring finger, on either hand.  This advice comes after an informal poll of single men showed that they were unsure which hand the wedding ring was worn on, and results revealed that some men assumed a woman was married when she had a ring on her right-hand ring finger.

You can easily afford the luxury of the clear diamond-like twinkle by collecting your own CZ jewelry.  There are over 300 CZ rings on Zulumoon.com.   If you are a party girl, may we suggest  this cocktail ring .  If you have a more demure personality and just want a little shine in your day, we suggest this lovely delicate ring .

Marisa Tomei is pictured here in a wonderful fashion ensemble.  It's quite easy to duplicate, too!  Start with a not-too-complicated cocktail dress, couple it with a pair of opaque black tights and black heels.  Black tights are the thing this season, but if purple or orange or yellow works for you…go for it!  Ms. Tomei wisely added a bold silver bracelet to the outfit. 

Zulumoon.com has got the perfect bold silver bracelet for your ensemble.  (http://www.zulumoon.com/details.asp?ProductCode=kbr26)  This beautiful cuff bracelet will sit proudly on your wrist at a nice chunky 2-inch width.  The best feature, the one people will be talking about, is the fact that it's hammered silver.  All those hammered indentations really do catch the reflections of light, and as you naturally move around, you create your own little sparkle.
