Interview with Julia of Lemon Stripes

Meet Julia, the amazing blogger and creator of Lemon Stripes fashion blog and Lemon Stripes Store!

(and yes, we have the same name)  :-)

Julia was so kind to answer some questions about her style, store, and life in NYC!  

1.  What is your favorite thing in your closet?

My J. Crew navy school boy blazer.  I wear it in different ways for every season.  It's my number one go-to!

2.  What three words would you use to define your style?

Classic, clean, and preppy.

3.  What are your favorite stores?

J. Crew, Kate Spade, and Joie.

4.  What place are you dying to travel to?

The Dalmatian Coast, Croatia.

5.  What is your favorite thing to see in New York?

When the weather starts to turn warm and everyone starts smiling and laughing.  There is a palpable energy shift and I love watching people during that time.

6.  What was the best part of starting Lemon Stripes and Lemon Stripes Store?

The incredible friendships that I've made along the way.

7.  What is your favorite season to get dressed up for?

Summer!  I love bright colors and loose dresses.  It's just so much easier.  :)

Thank you so much for the interview, Julia!  Continue the great work on Lemon Stripes and keep enjoying a great life in New York!

City Girl in Chicago

 Dress: H&M (last seen here)   Belt: Vintage Fossil   

Location:  \The Streets of Chicago

Dress of the Sea

Delicious and dainty tiramisu in a tiny shot glass at Wynn Hotel Breakfast Buffet.

 Dress: Forever 21    Bag: Gucci   Shoes: Jack Rogers    Belt: Vintage Fossil

I loved this Forever 21 dress when I saw it on Belles in Bows (see Bess is this dress here).  It's very good quality for the very good price, and I couldn't help but adore the sea life print.  Forever 21 actually has this same print on 3 more, which I will link below.

Life Gave Me Lemons

 Dress: Topshop    Shoes: Manolo Blahnik (last seen here)   Rings: Tiffany and Co.

Clutch/Wallet:  Louis Vuitton vintage

I enjoyed the Panda show at the Palazzo in Las Vegas.  It was amazing to experience and I wish I could see it again!  

I fell in love with this lemon dress at Topshop the moment I saw it.  It's very well made, and suprisingly worked well with a lot of the things I brought with me to the Palazzo.

Dinner at Morel's was delicious, the famous cheese fondue was very good.  Afterward, the crème brûlée at the Grand Lux was the perfect dessert to share!   

Summer Essentials

A floppy hat is perfect for shading yourself from the sun and looking great all summer long!

My pick:  Anthropologie Island Inn Hat   

This picture from Classy Girls Wear Pearls features one of my favorite dresses this season, the Vineyard Vines Silk Nautical Signal Print Dress (far right).  I am also loving Sarah's Banana Republic number.

I am in love with the Lilly Pulitzer Tusk in Sun print, and in Bright Navy, it goes with so many things!  Kelly in the City is wearing this season's Eliza dress.  Check out the Captiva Tunic Cover Up!

Vera Bradley prints are bright and beautiful.  I love their towels and throw blankets!

The J. Crew Embroidered Gauze collection is just perfect for relaxing days at the beach.

Jack Rogers will always be a classic.  My favorites are the Palm Beach Platinum Navajo Sandals.

There's nothing like a beautiful vintage dress to add a feminine touch to your typical summer dress.  I found a updated one at Goodnight Macaroon.
