Chambray Glambray

A couple weeks ago, I was invited to join a fun creative event in D.C. called The Gathering Project (more on that later this week) where I'd learn how to make focaccia bread, paint ceramics and learn to make a signature berry crumble. I felt like I was in a BIT of a bind fashion-wise because I knew I didn't want to get flour all over one of my new dresses (I may or may not be a bit messy when cooking) and I was riding the metro thus seeking maximum comfort. But I also wanted to look chic because, well, DUH. 

So I did what I do best and threw on a chambray shirt. Paired with white shorts (to disguise the flour) and some dainty gold jewels from Rachelle Celine, it added just the bit of glam the occasion called for.

Winery Hopping

If you know me, you know during the warm summer months, wine is a major food group. It’s served with our dinner parties, brought on picnics and enjoyed on our porch after a long day at work. If you can't find me on a Sunday afternoon, know that I'm probably at a winery.

A couple weeks ago, 20 of my best gal pals trekked out to Route 7 to visit the wineries with me! (And be trekked, I mean enjoyed a luxe bus ride from Reston Limousine - and to be honest, this is literally the best way to tour wineries that exists.) We each brought a picnic treat, frolicked among the vines and took more photos than my poor 2GB card could handle. See our adventures below at Stone Tower Winery (where all but the last photo were taken) and Hillsborough Winery (last photo), and do yourselves a favor and check these two faves next time you’re vineyard hopping.

50 Shades of Beige

June 16, 2014 Julien Garman

I love bright colors - the brighter the better. But look in my closet? Blacks, navys, whites, off-whites, more shades of white and brown. Of course, I have splatters of pink and purple, but the majority are neutrals. So one day, I decided to put on all the beige things for work and VIOLA! The result is as follows.

Discovery of the White Pants

April 23, 2014 Julien Garman

Sorry guys, I’m a little late to the white pants game. Since seeing them on some of my fellow DC bloggers, (Erika, Natalie, Meaghan, etc.), I’ve been obsessed. But WHY OH WHY are great fitting pants so hard to find?!

I totally lucked out when I found these Lucky Jeans at the TJMAXX in Georgetown. They fit just right and were a great price, obviously. I’ve already worn them about 20 times in the past month so that just goes to show you what an awesome staple they are. I can’t wait to style these with, well, everything. 

How do you sport your white pants?

On Julien: Pants, Lucky Brand. Jacket, Nordstrom. Blouse, LOFT. Shoes, Forever 21 (similar here.) Clutch, K.Slademade. Ring, Capwell & Co (similar here.) Necklace, She’s Unique. Bangle bracelets, JCREW (similar here.) Earrings, vintage (similar here.) Sunnies, Michael Kors (similar here.) Photos by Amanda and Meaghan.

Blue Leopard

April 21, 2014 Julien Garman

Can I let you in on a little secret? You can’t tell anyone, promise? Actually, scratch that. Tell the world! I certainly am.

This dress…cost me… under $20! I found it in the sale section at H&M just before I walked into the fitting room. Pure luck! I was pretty darn excited if you can imagine.

Being a style blogger can be hard at times, you guys. Since I’m newer, I don’t always get clothes thrown at me and GIRL IS ON A BUDGET. 

This lightweight dress is perfect for cool summer nights with a pair of strappy heels and a slicked back pony, but for now, with this ridiculous weather, booties and beachy waves will do just fine.

On Julien: Dress, H&M (on sale for $15!) Belt, JCREW (similar here.) Ring, Capwell & Co (similar here.) Boots, DSW. Clutch, K.Slademade. Sunnies, Michael Kors (similar here.) Bow necklace, JCREW (similar here.) Bar necklace, She's Unique. Earrings, JCREW (similar here.) All photos by Meaghan.
