I asked myself the same question when I read this feature in HB. There are things that I love about each style, so it's hard for me to choose just one, but I guess I'd be a cross between The Accessorators and The Glams.
Funny, when my House Beautiful came I took pause at the very same question. Which style am I? I love a bit of category, but would have to say that I fall into two categories...mostly Accessorators and a bit of Ruralist.
I agree, they're all great.
i want to be ruralist. maybe when i grow up a little bit.
Hmmm... I’m one of The New Victorians. Not quite as dark, but definitely just as quirky.
I love the bracelet under "The Glams" section. Great post!
I aspire to be a Ruralist but it's pretty easy to be an Accessorator in real life, don't you think?
I think right now the accessorator look is very popular. I think it's important to layer and mix things up a bit. The ruralist style is so pure, but I gravitate towards a bit more color myself.
