jbulie’s blog ~ an online journal julieangelos.com paintings
January 28th, 2012
jbulie’s blog julieangelos.com is an online journal written by an American woman living in Italy. Everyone has a story. Here’s hers. One day she was sitting at her office at her desk working for a multi national corporation, with a nice boss, rent control apartment by the beach in Santa Monica, when she prayed for courage to change her life for the better. Her super cool boss Anne offered her a raise. In a moment of clarity, she answered. ‘No thank you, I’m going to move to Italy.’ So she did. Within two months she left her beautiful apartment, sold her automatic car, found a nice owner for her sweet cat, and bought a one way ticket to Europe. She has since married a great man who is a cook and a masseur and super nice guy. They have bought a house and have two boys whom they adore.

Forgive as the Lord forgave you. ♡ Awake, my little one! Before …

The End of Fashion: How Marketing Changed the Clothing Business Forever
January 12th, 2012
Product Description
The time when “fashion” was defined by French designers whose clothes could be afforded only by elite has ended. Now designers take their cues from mainstream consumers and creativity is channeled more into mass-marketing clothes than into designing them. Indeed, one need look no further than the Gap to see proof of this. In The End of Fashion, Wall Street Journal, reporter Teri Agins astutely explores this seminal change, laying bare all aspects of the fashion in… More >>
