  • Just what I needed

    Aunt Kiki delivers the perfect gift, with humor and lots of knowledge. She’s lived on the inside of the wealthy elite and gives lots of ideas on how to live a more cultured and cultivated life on any budget. I enjoy the length of her podcasts on long drives and my walks, and just received Scarlet Fever I’m saving for a trip abroad soon.

  • Trying

    I want to get into this but can’t get past the poor attempt at an upper received english accent. Just speak in your normal accent for goodness sake; otherwise, take lessons so you can actually execute the accent properly and stop muddling it. Obnoxious.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Status, Style, and Stitching: The Secret History and Etiquette of the Monogram
Q: We want a joint monogram for our home when a couple keeps their last names. How should we approach this?
A joint monogram can use two last initials or a mirrored/paired motif. You can avoid a dash and instead create a two-letter mark or a balanced design that reflects both names across rooms or a house monogram, keeping readability and aesthetic balance in mind.
Status, Style, and Stitching: The Secret History and Etiquette of the Monogram
Q: Is it gauche to monogram my underwear?
Discretion is key: tiny, tonal initials on the waistband are acceptable and practical, especially if the item is personal or frequently worn, but you should avoid obvious displays to strangers.
Status, Style, and Stitching: The Secret History and Etiquette of the Monogram
Q: My partner insists monograms go lower right on the towel. Is there a compromise?
Tradition varies by family; the best approach is to acknowledge personal or family traditions and consider a compromise such as a two-texture/natural balance, or separate towels for different placements, so both preferences are respected.
Status, Style, and Stitching: The Secret History and Etiquette of the Monogram
Q: How do I monogram a necklace without it looking like I'm trying to enter in my Wi-Fi password?
For jewelry and most monograms, less is more. Pick three initials: the first initial, the last name initial in the center (larger for women), and one meaningful middle initial. You can also choose to use only two initials or a single motif, depending on the object's scale and significance.
The Secret to Authentic Style: Etiquette, Dress Codes, and Aesthetics
Q: Is it appropriate to speak about a friend's vulgar style?
If your friend asks your opinion, respond only to the question they asked and avoid excessive criticism, as everyone has different styles.
