$75 Luxury Monograms Giveaway!

I am inspired to share my friend Melanie's new business venture, Luxury Monograms. Frustrated by the lack of personalized fashion for the home, Melanie started her own business selling monogrammed pillows, placemats, napkins, and bags. 

In addition to feeling inspired by Melanie's entrepreneurial example, what I love about Luxury Monograms is that you pick the pattern, the monogram (choosing from 12 styles), and the thread color (choosing from 24 colors). Ultimate creative control? I'm in!

Melanie recently teamed up with my friend Ashlina from The Decorista to style her photo shoot. I think the results are pretty fantastic, don't you?

I love the playful, preppy vibe of her products. Why not let orange Greek key, hot pink chevron, or purple suzani set the tone for your next soirée?

Melanie is graciously extending a $75 gift card to one Design Darling reader. To enter, please follow Design Darling, like Luxury Monograms on Facebook, and leave a comment letting me know one of your favorite items from her shop.

I'll be drawing the winner at random on Friday morning. Thank you to Melanie and good luck to all of you!

Happy 22nd birthday to my boyfriend Michael.

I know you don't make as many Design Darling cameos as you might like but I figured today we could make an exception. Thank you for being such a happy part of my four years at Bucknell. Whether we're dressed up as 1920s gangsters for Halloween or ATVing in the Greek islands during our semester abroad, I've had the time of my life. You are funny and quirky and wonderful and I love you. Happy happy birthday!

Thank You.

Thank you all for your kind words on my big announcement yesterday. You have me feeling more confident than ever that I'm making the right choice in moving to San Francisco.

This weekend I'll be spending time with a dear friend who's in town after her semester abroad and celebrating the 22nd birthday of a very special someone. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend — you deserve it!
