What's your style?

You know how you are constantly trying to define your style with words? Well I cam across two perfectly written descriptions...of other people's style :) But I couldn't help but feel drawn to both:

  1. Part preppy coastal, part old boys club, and part fresh traditional, a lighthearted interpretation of yuppie East Coast style.
  2. Modern rustic with a vintage twist. 
What would I describe my style as? Nautical chic? Preppy coastal? Fresh traditional? Oh I can't decide...I like them all!!!

Here is the home of the Arlington, VA couple whose style was described as Part preppy coastal, part old boys club, and part fresh traditional, a lighthearted interpretation of yuppie East Coast style.

I need to introduce myself to them, as a fellow NOVA dweller, and beg them for a list of their antique stores, flea markets, and these lovely barn sales they speak of.

Plus not only does Shannon & Aaron have their own blog Hase Huas, they also have their own decor site Yuppie Decor where they refurbish old finds. Love!!!

Check out the full tour of Shannon and Aaron's house here on Apartment Therapy.

The Modern rustic with a vintage twist home comes from top fashion blogger Cupcakes & Cashmere Emily Schuman--I don't know what I'm more impressed with...her home or the fact that her blog gets 6.5 million hits per month...BANANAS!

  2. I used to say 'Simplistic Elegance.' But now, whatever I see in Pottery Barn seems to be my style!
