SHE'S TYING UP HER TWENTIES
Exclusive Coverage: Inside the Milestone Weekend for Julia
Mark your calendars! On Saturday, August 1st, I'm celebrating my 30th birthday in Atlanta, and it wouldn't be the same without you. What started as a small idea has turned into a weekend I can't wait for, a chance to bring together the people who mean the world to me for good food, great conversation, and a wonderful milestone. Dress up, show up, and come ready to celebrate!
I'm so excited to gather around the table with the people who have played such an important role in my life. To those of you who are traveling to Atlanta for this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your presence means more to me than I can express. I’m looking forward to sharing a meal, making new memories, and spending an evening with those I care about most as we put the finishing touches on an incredible decade and tie a bow on my twenties.

Weekend Itinerary
SATURDAY- St Cecilia
3455 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326
7:00 PM
This is the main event! On Saturday night, we are gathering for a beautiful dinner at St. Cecilia, a gorgeous, airy space located right in Buckhead. The restaurant serves incredible, coastal inspired Italian cuisine. It is the perfect setting to dress up in your all black attire, enjoy an amazing meal, and officially celebrate this milestone together. I cannot wait to look around the table and toast to the next chapter with all of my favorite people!
Post Dinner — If we are not ready for the night to end, let's see where the evening takes us. Plans may include, but are not limited to, crying at a late-night Yemeni coffee shop and/or serenading me at karaoke!
SUNDAY-Politan Row at Ashford lane
4550 Olde Perimeter Way, Dunwoody, GA 30346
12:00 PM (Optional)
Before everyone heads home, let us keep the celebration going with a casual Sunday lunch. We are gathering at Politan Row, a gorgeous design forward food hall. The best part is that everyone can grab exactly what they are craving, whether that is artisan pizza, fresh sushi, or street tacos. It is the perfect low key spot to recap the weekend, share a few more laughs, and enjoy great food in the best company.
THE DRESS Code
ALL BLACK · FORMAL ATTIRE
FOR THE LADIES
I ask that everyone join us in all black formal or cocktail attire. This is your official excuse to go all out. Whether that means a dramatic floor length gown, a chic midi dress, a sleek jumpsuit, or a sharp tailored look, I want you to feel absolutely stunning. Feel free to lean into rich textures like satin, velvet, lace, or silk, and bring the look together with your favorite accessories. Wear whatever makes you feel like a million bucks, just make sure it is black!
FOR THE GENTLEMEN
The assignment is simple, timeless, and entirely all black. You have total freedom with your outfit, so there is no pressure on specific pieces. Whether you want to rock a sharp suit, a sleek blazer, or just a crisp black button down with black trousers, the choice is completely yours. Wear whatever combination makes you feel your coolest and most confident. Keep it clean, classic, and styled exactly how you like to dress up, just make sure you are all black from head to toe.
The bottom line? Dress to impress, step out in style, and come ready for an unforgettable night of celebrating!
