I love how this fashion journalist has a refreshingly unserious attitude about clothes.

  • Hometown: Andover, Massachusetts
  • Self-described style: Preppy, tacky, hippie — “There always has to be a little tacky in there!”
  • Favorite shopping site: shop.marketpublique.com
  • Style icons: The Golden Girls andĀ Catherine Baba — “I found her on jakandjil.com. She’ll wear a nautical dress with some crazy turban and a thousand plastic bangles!”




She is currently obsessed with Revlon’s JustĀ Bitten Lipstain in Passion. “It’s the only thing I ever bought from a commercial,” she said.



You can never have too many cotton henleys for layering.






















Julie likes a little height, but she’s not down with major heels. These booties are perfect.




She stole this awesome scarf from her dad over Thanksgiving.


A boyfriend cardigan softens the vibe of the leather skirt.





When it comes to jewelry, she usually goes for it — she loves a big ring.






A leather pencil skirt gives this look an ’80s high school feel.
