Editorial Reviews

Product Description
STYLE STATEMENT is an inspiring take on the power of style and authenticity. Deemed "style psychotherapists," Carrie and Danielle are the creators of the Style Statement: a two-word compass that helps you make more confident choices in life -- from your wardrobe to your relationships, your living room to your career plans.

Part workbook, part inspirational narrative, STYLE STATEMENT presents a series of inquiries that lead readers to the personal words that guide the spirit, look and feel of their life. The first word represents your foundation, your 80%. The second word, your 20%, is what motivates and distinguishes you.

Via Carrie and Danielle's Lifestyle Map, readers then explore how their own unique Style Statement can generate momentum in every area of their life.

About the Author
Carrie is a former interior and fashion designer, a graduate of the London College of Fashion, and a nationally ranked track athlete. Her Style Statement is Refined Treasure.

Danielle was the Executive Director of a Washington, DC think tank for global futures strategies, and for ten years, ran her own communications and business development agency. Her Style Statement is Sacred Dramatic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Live your best life!, April 6, 2008

By	weeziefitz "Book Bag" (Abilene, TX, USA) - See all my reviews

Want to find out who you really are? The answers to the questions posed in Style Statement: Live By Your Own Design will give you the tools and motivation to live a life you truly love, embracing all those overt and hidden pieces of your "self". This is not a touchy-feely self-help book; it's a concrete roadmap towards authenticity. Embrace those things large and small that you love and present yourself to the world in a way that expresses them.

I had my Style Statement interview and in the intervening 3 months I have:
Cut bangs
Booked a trip to Alaska
Designed a secret garden for meditation in a small plot on the north side of my house (will start planting next week)
Started painting lessons
Cooked a paella
Been in "Ellen"'s audience
Begun working with a trainer at the gym

Life is good; this fabulous book will help you make the best of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars beyond branding and image, this book helps you discover the core of YOU, April 11, 2008

By	E. S. Lineback "writer and book author" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The moment my copy of STYLE STATEMENT arrived, I began to absorb all it offers. While the book has wonderful elements of personal branding currently so trendy, it goes far beyond branding and image to help readers get to the heart of who they are. When we are proactive in naming and vocalizing/writing those things that are most precious to us and the intangibles that form our core, we are able and equipped to be more deliberate in how we conduct ourselves and shape and live our lives. Inviting and enlightening without being intimidating, this interactive book accompanies you on an adventure into learning more about you. And the best part is that unlike some self-help books, STYLE STATEMENT helps you find your "center" but doesn't leave you "self-centered" in a negative sense. The gorgeous result and outcropping from living a more genuine life is not only that you're more content, but also that you end up more connected to yourself AND to others. Buy it, give it, share it -- and live it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Brand called YOU, April 21, 2008

By	Elizabeth Talerman (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Style Statement takes you on a journey of articulating who you are -- both the parts of you that are overt, fully formed and figured out; and as importantly, the parts of you that are in your core being but not always out in front for the world (or for you) to see. Two small words are where you end up after going through this delightful and insightful process. Two small words that clearly define who you are inside and outside. I am Constructive Nurture, and since learning this I've cleaned out my closet, gotten over morning wardrobe crises, merged my analytical being with my nurturing one, and changed my career focus. Its spectacularly gratifying and liberating.
