In this recent photo of Heidi Klum, we see her wearing a Diane von Furstenburg dress, in a vivid modern stripe print, cinched at the waist with a belt.  This dress is probably way out of budget for most of us, but modern stripes/geometrics/similar patterns on dresses are definitely within reach and a belted waist is the look of the season.  I chose to highlight Ms. Klum’s ensemble because of her jewelry choice.  She’s wearing a chunky charm bracelet, which mirrors the bold look of her outfit and the playfulness of the print.

If you have a printed dress or printed top that you need to accessorize with jewelry, check out the charm bracelets and the huge selection of charms on ZuluMoon.  Of course, charm bracelets are totally customizable, too.  For instance, you can get this 7 inch, 120 gauge bracelet and add a few charms such as this regal crown charm or a monogram initial charm in the letter of your preference.

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.
