Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
According to the authors, your two-word Style Statement defines your authentic self: "It is a compass for making more powerful choices, a guide for designing a life that reflects your whole being. An anchor, a symbol, a mantra. A declaration, an affirmation, a reminder. You, fully expressed." To help you identify your statement, the authors provide a lifestyle map and human exemplars of different styles. Part workbook, part inspirational narrative, and part style guide, this large-format book will speak to anyone who has ever tried to design a wardrobe, a room, or their life.

    Fantastic book!

    It took me 2 years to finish as I was going through a deep depression but it was a fantastic exploratory tool when I felt like I didn't know who I was right after college and marriage. Don't get thenook version though. Photos are much more vivid in the boom and the font and layout design is way more intriguing.

    Not very helpful

    The authors promise a lot but do not deliver. Style suggestions are stupid.
