For years, I’ve loved the magazine Real Simple–its ingenious combination of elegance and simplicity, and the way it delivers on its promise to make readers’ lives easier. So it was incredible to be asked to contribute to a big design article in the March issue (on newsstands now!) called “3 Steps to Naming Your Style.” Real Simple did a fabulous job on the art for the piece, and I am so proud to have been a part of it.
Here’s some advice I provided for the article:
“Imagine that real-world constraints don’t apply. Picture your dream home. If you could live anywhere in the world, would you choose a loft in New York? An English manor? A tree-house in the tropics? Then think outside of the home: if you were invited to the Oscars, what would you wear? This moves you beyond the limitations of your own lifestyle and budget and into a new realm of creativity.”
Check out the full article here.
And check out Real Simple online, too–great daily advice for simpler living.
Thank you so much, Danielle Claro of Real Simple, for the wonderful collaboration.
Congrats, Carrie! I’ll have to grab the magazine next time I’m at the store!
I actually tied A, C and D. C and D make sense for me (Eclectic = Innovative, Cozy = Ease) but A was a bit of a surprise. Then I remembered that classic stuff is very grounding for me and it made a lot of sense!
Oh and D is definitely my future Innovative Ease home. No doubt! Thanks for the extra direction!!
You’re welcome dear Carolee.
I may need to pick this up! Looks like a really cute issue
I know I’m definitely the eclectic one haha
Eclectic is always interesting.
Congratulations for a beautiful representation of Style Statement in action!
Merci, Emily-Sarah.

I was wondering if you could tell me where the blue shades are from in the sophisticated style A section? I just love them!
Hi Dana,
The art director of Real Simple pulled all the visuals, don’t know where they’re from.
