This is not just a style guide; this is a lifestyle guide! One that empowers you to live a life full of self-love, compassion, gain confidence and look fabulous while doing it. Laurie's writing is funny, relatable, and packed full of advice that is easy for any woman to follow! Like a warm hug from a good friend, this book wraps you up into a world where you become the best version of yourself. Laurie reminds us all that clothing isn't meant to hide who we are but rather it's a way to let our unique personalities shine through. She has only one 'rule' to finding your style, and that is being true to who you are inside and out! - Emily Lauren Dick, Body Image Expert and Author of Body Positive: A Guide to Loving Your Body What I love about Laurie's approach to style is that it's an inside out process. She not only helps you revamp what you put on your body, but who you become and how you feel in the process. Laurie has helped me powerfully step into and embody my future self and because of our work together, I know her new book 'You are the Style' is going to help so many other women do the same. This book is for you if you've ever struggled with what to wear or how to communicate who you are through your daily outfit choices. - Bri Seeley, Author of Permission to Leap What I loved about You are the Style! is that it gives women the tools to find their unique voice. From your wonderful style tips (I'm buying my first pencil skirt since high school) to how outdated fashion rules don't work for us, you give women permission to experiment, to be uncomfortable and to create our own identity through what we wear. Laurie shows us how to look in the mirror and uncover the fashionista we all thought belonged to someone else. - Deborah Shames, Speaker Trainer and Co-Founder of Eloqui It is what every woman that is looking to free themselves from the bad thoughts needs to read. - Kim Saum, Librarian This book was a wonder to read. It was definitely a mixture of style guide and self-development...You learn how to be comfortable in your own skin, and how to place YOU back on your priority list, by setting your day up for success. I definitely recommend this book to any woman looking for a fresh start to her closet, and her life. - Cathy Demming, Book Critics Cafe The way Laurie talks about fashion is very intuitive...I love Laurie's outlook that style is there to serve a higher purpose than just 'looking' good, and is for anyone no matter their shape or size. It's about connecting to your true self and using that connection to create a solid foundation of confidence, self-worth and power to do more with your life. - Amy Houghton, Librarian
