I'm Julia, founder of The Velvet Runway. UK-born, I've called France home for over thirty years, where I've discovered that the French art of living isn't something to chase—it's simply woven into everyday life.
Drawing on my background in personal styling and travel consulting, I created The Velvet Runway to share timeless style, thoughtful travel, beautiful places, and the quiet rituals that make life feel a little more elegant.
Everything you'll find here is inspired by my life in France and a love of discovering the world's most beautiful destinations—always through the lens of slow travel, timeless style, and intentional living.
Whether you're planning your next trip, refreshing your wardrobe, or simply looking for a slower, more beautiful way to live, welcome. Here's to French living, wherever you are.
