About Us - My Trend Boutique

Hi, I’m Julio Arco—designer, creative director, and the founder of My Trend Boutique, a blog where fashion meets psychology, and personal style becomes a form of self-architecture.

This space isn’t just about trends or clothes—it’s about how what we wear can shape how we feel, how we move through the world, and how we connect with both ourselves and others. Whether you’re dressing for a defining moment or simply choosing your outfit for an ordinary day, My Trend Boutique is here to help you feel like the best, most confident version of yourself.

Why I Started My Trend Boutique

Fashion has always been more than fabric and labels to me—it’s personal. It’s identity in motion. It’s design that touches the skin and speaks before we ever say a word.

With a Master’s in Architecture and Urban Design, my academic and professional life has been rooted in evidence-based design—a field that studies how physical environments impact human emotion, behavior, and well-being. In architecture, I’ve explored how spatial elements like light, color, materiality, and scale can either calm or energize us, build connection or create distance, inspire or overwhelm. But through that lens, one realization kept surfacing:

What we wear is a micro-environment we carry with us—every single day.

Just like a room, a garment can affect posture, energy, mood, and self-perception. The soft embrace of velvet can soothe the nervous system. A high collar can make someone feel protected or powerful. The right color can elevate mood, shift perspective, or build presence. Every texture, cut, and hue has psychological weight. And this blog was born to explore that.

What You’ll Find Here

My Trend Boutique is where design theory meets the human experience through fashion. It’s where I translate my understanding of spatial psychology into the language of style—curating ideas, visuals, and reflections that help you build a wardrobe as intentional as a beautifully designed space.

Here, you’ll discover:

Texture & Emotion – Deep dives into how materials like linen, leather, satin, or boucle influence feeling and presence.

Color & Psychology – The science of how color combinations can stimulate confidence, calm, joy, or boldness.
Style as Space – How proportions, silhouettes, and layering mirror architectural principles of scale and flow.
Design Meets Mood – Personal styling tips inspired by evidence-based design to dress in alignment with your energy, your story, and your goals.

Seasonal Moodboards & Editorials – Visual inspiration grounded in theory and elevated by real-life wearability.

The Heart of It All

Fashion, like architecture, is about how people feel in the environments they inhabit—whether it’s a building or an outfit. It’s sensory. It’s emotional. It’s storytelling, crafted in silhouette and shade.

At My Trend Boutique, you’ll find more than what’s trending—you’ll find the why behind what we wear, and how to use it to show up more fully, authentically, and confidently in your life.

Let’s design not just outfits—but outlooks.
Let’s create not just looks—but layers of self-expression.
Let’s wear our stories—beautifully, intentionally, and unapologetically.
