A Style Statement

Flicking magazines at the hairstylists a couple of years ago I read about Carrie and Danielle and their style statement concept. Essentially, they conduct a one hour consultation that is ultimately scribed in two words. One noun and one adjective. Think genuine elegance, refined creative, sacred dramatic. These words are your style statement.

"Your Style Statement is the two words that define the true you. It’s a touchstone for making more powerful choices in your life – from your wardrobe to your living room, your relationships to your career plans. Your Style Statement is where your essence meets your expression."

After reading the article I couldn't help thinking if I spent $500 on the consultation I would never again have a dilemma over what to wear or the furniture to buy for the bedroom. My definition would instantly tell me how to style my office and how to only have one perfect handbag.

Unfortunately, I never remembered the duos names to look them up and, even if I had, probably would have been too worried about being labeled something like messy procrastinator when I would want to be something like organised creative or modern glamour.

Then last night I rediscovered them and found there is a book. The pages are full of questions, descriptions and profiles of different people and how their statement echos their like. The writing is simple and poetic, and the image and graphic design superb. I am sure this book is the answer to my life. Hopefully, it will be more useful than the number 42.
