Noteworthy Moments

This past weekend was interesting. It was actually a little rocky trying to find a balance between work and relaxing. But I tried my best when I met with my high school and college bestie Michealange (I call her MD she is a psychiatrist) I got a new camera but since I am trying to figure out how to edit my pictures nothing came out they way I wanted. I am still trying to figure out how access the edited photos :( Sooooooo sad.

Anyway MD and I went on a field trip to Mizner Park (My go-to place for relaxation). We stopped in a few boutiques and then went on to my favorite place The Cheese Course. MD got the caprese salad and I got a cheese course with two types of cheese and a fig spread (YUM). It made me happy.

Well I just wanted to share one of my highlights with you.

Hope you like

XOXO

Ju'lia Catherine Favorites: Amanda Valdes

Hello again,
As per usual, I am a wreck. But now I can say that I am a wreck who is trying to get their act together. It is so common when you are trying to keep afloat to forget to appreciate the things that make life interesting. So part of my process of getting back to the things that are important to me, is making sure that I take the time to appreciate things. So I wanted to share with you guys a new love of mine. I have been stalking her work for a while and when I saw that she posted a link to her posters and art, I nearly jumped out of my computer chair.

The name is Amanda Valdes and if I had to describe the aesthetic of her work, I would say it is a happy hybrid of Tim Burton and quirky fashion. There is just something about it that makes me happy. I LOOOOOOOOVE Tim Burton BTW. Take a look and you be the judge. Let me know if you love it as much as I do.

If you see anything you like, the paintings and posters and even electronic accessories can be purchased here.

Forever 21 Media Preview

I had the privilege of having a sneak peek of the newly renovated Forever 21 at Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise, Florida before its grand re-opening. All I can say is, I am in love. As someone who has multiple definitions for my style, being able to change up my look with it still being friendly to my pocketbook is a wonderful dream and with Forever 21 my dreams are easily turned into a reality. The 60,000 square feet store offers an official shoe section, a For Love section and countless themed rooms that are sure to strike the fancy of any fashion lover. It was hard for me to choose a favorite personally. The summer room was an easy favorite because it featured one of my favorite artists- Frida Kahlo. My goal is to get every shirt that features her. It's crazy but I don't think enough people know about her. The rap city room transported me to the 90's. It was like being back in a time when rappers were the best graphics for a t-shirt and served as a visual testament to your rap knowledge. However, Forever 21 managed to clean up the delivery. Low cut muscle loose fitting muscle tees featured images of Tupac and messages like "Perfection is overrated." I loved it all especially the prices. I couldn't help but snag a Frida Kahlo shirt and awesome statement necklace on my way out. It was all under 25 bucks! Yayyyyy me!!

Here are a few pics!! I hope you like.
