Truth be told I have trouble remembering how we first met. I think I may have started following her on Instagram or visa-versa when she started her interior design business, Julia Rose Interiors. If you follow her @juliaroseinteriors you too will see her style and taste is next level.

The first time we met up in real life her genuine and down-to-earth charm made us fast friends. Fast forward two years, and I have found from deadlifts to nails we have a ton in common.  

Currently, she lives in Alexandria with her husband Adam (great guy, might I add) and her two dogs.  Let me introduce my dear friend, Jules Schweyer for Street Style.
