Week in Review: Vol. 14

August 19, 2016 Julien Garman

Ice cream yumminess from our trip last weekend to Rocky Point Creamery

Happy Friday, friends!!

These past few weeks have been crazy busy but there’s SO MANY fun things I want to share with you!

Where to start?! Well, I decided that I’ll be attending New York Fashion Week this fall! This will be a first for me, and I literally can’t sleep I’m so excited. I’ll be collaborating with a number of brands, including Rent the Runway, Collabz, and more during the trip so I can bring you a first-hand honest look at what Fashion Week is like!

I’m also working on a SUPER fun campaign with Mosaic District that I can’t wait to share more about! Let’s just say that if you visit Mosaic in the next few weeks, you’ll see a very familiar face ;)

I took major advantage of the M.Gemi shoe sale a couple weeks ago. I bought some short boots (sold out), but I recently borrowed THESE from a friend and they are the most comfortable shoes I may have ever put on. You can shop my personal M.Gemi picks on their website!

If you’re into coffee, my friend and kick-you-know-what photographer Erin is taking over the Vigilante instagram page! Be sure to check it out, and if you like acai bowls, Vig makes a MEAN ONE.

Last week, I finally got a chance to use one of Breather’s DC spaces. What is Breather? It’s basically a beautiful office room with a couch, small conference table, mirrors, and books (with tons of natural light) that you can use to relax, have a meeting or in our case, shoot some photos for the blog! We rented out their 1003 K St., NW space and LOVED it. 

Remember this chambray top I wore earlier this Spring? It’s on MAJOR sale right now for only $38 (from $78!) 

The Rent the Runway clearance sale just did their final price drops and GUYS IT’S GOOD. You can shop my favorite picks or just head straight there yourselves.

Speaking of Rent the Runway, I’m working with them on a fun collaboration for Diner en Blanc! If you’re not familiar, check out last year’s post on it! It’s basically DC’s largest secret dinner party. Not even attendees know the location until right before the dinner starts. You dress TO THE NINES in all white - the fancier the better. It’s all very exciting. I rented one of these gorgeous dresses from Rent the Runway for the event. Stay tuned to figure out which one I chose! And in August, they’re offering FREE appointments with a stylist (usually $25), so if you have any events you want help choosing an outfit for, be sure to head in next week! I had Sam help me and she was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

Last week, we celebrated the launch of the Commuter backpack from Everlane at Maketto and had such a blast. I wore this everlane long sleeved tee (rolled up as far as it would go) and my favorite everlane loafers (now they come in SO MANY colors!)

Sunday I attended a sunrise yoga class at The Embassy Row Hotel rooftop! I've never done a class on a rooftop before and it was a game changer. SO MUCH FUN. They’ll be offering classes for the rest of summer, so if you’re looking for a great way to kickstart your weekend,, definitely check it out!

Want something super unproductive to do this weekend that you won’t regret? We are in over our heads in obsession with Stranger Things, a netflix show that I FOR SURE wouldn’t recommend watching at night by yourselves. We’re HOOKED.

Lastly, I was featured in the Shopping Links Blog for being an emerging blogger to watch! You can read my interview with them here!

Here are some posts you may have missed this week:
The prettiest off-the-shoulder dress I wore out to brunch in NYC
That one time a Rolls Royce photobombed my shoot (or was it the other way around?)
Pretending I'm French in this buttercup number
The bohemian blouse I've worn approximately 10,000 times since I've bought it

Have a great weekend!

Week in Review - Vol. 3

May 13, 2016 Julien Garman

It has been QUITE the week.

The week started with Mother’s Day and having my sister in town, which could not have been more wonderful. I made ALL THE BRUNCH at my house Sunday (catch a peek on Instagram below!) then picked out a few flowers for the yard with mom afterwards. Monday, my sissie came over for Tacos and we ate at like 10 PM, like the insane people we are.

A little scenery from Mother's Day brunch at our place. Wish this was my view now...instead of leftover pasta at my desk 😂 Fab snap by mom👌 @toula_mitra

THEN came the cleaning. Or lack-there-of. Anyone else get, like, SO overwhelmed when guests come over then avoid it like the plague? Insert girl raising hand emoji here. 

I played with the Kylie Lip Kits over the weekend and have some THOUGHTS - will share those in an upcoming review post! Loving the Candy K shade, but Dolce K was a little dark for me, so I pawned it off on the sis. ALSO FRIENDS, if you’re dying to get your hands on a lip kit or gloss, they’re restocking at 6:30 EST!

If you’re into contouring/have no idea what you’re doing (LIKE ME!), this Smashbox counter kit is for you. My sister let me try hers and I’m obsessed. I need it to arrive in my mailbox like last year. It's worth every penny.

Not sure what the weather is like near you, but it’s been the literal worst here in DC. But I reminisced about sunshine and warmth earlier this week - here’s the post in case you missed it!

Last night, I attended the launch of Breather in DC! (I wore this dress from Tuckernuck seen below!) I’m so excited to take you behind-the-scenes into their spaces for a few upcoming projects!

Wedding season is upon us friends, and I just discovered the greatest way to help bae look his best. I gave the tux rental company, Menguin, a first hand try and here’s what I thought.

I just discovered the best remedy to wake yourself up after a mid-afternoon carbs-are-kicking-in slump. It’s this.

This weekend is going to be a busy one! I have praise team on Saturday for church, then gardening and a trip to Potomac Mills on Sunday! I haven’t been there in ages, so be sure to tune into snapchat to see what I find! (Username: JULIENGARMAN)

AND next week is the last week to visit the Cuyana pop up in DC (bag and blouse seen above!) Get it while you can, friends.
