The Perennial Style Journal
Trend alerts, wardrobe staples and the pieces we’re wearing, wanting and wishlisting.
Ever since I snagged my first Show Me Your MuMu dress this summer (see here), I have become completely obsessed with the line. Apart from the fact that they have one of the cutest marketing campaigns around (seriously, can my life be just like their instagram feed?),...
Pop. Fizz. Clink! Time to pop the champagne and cheers to the new year! We can't believe the holidays are among us and the new year is near. This year has absolutely flown by and has been one of the best years yet! Since we have a couple more weeks until...
Staying chic on chilly days isn't always easy, but a loose-fitting, warm sweater dress is always a great base for getting dressed. When I found this sweater dress recently, I loved it so much that I bought two for myself.. and two for each of my sisters! Yes, six of...
With the 70s being such a strong influence of the fashion scene all season, it's no surprise this boho-inspired decade is staying with us during the colder months - with shearling making a comeback for winter wear. Though shearling will forever remind me of Ugg Boots...
A chic pea coat is one of the most timeless pieces you can have in your closet. Pea coats are forever a classic, as we've worn the same coats year after year from our teens through our twenties. They are perfectly preppy for Janie and Blair, and simple and versatile...
As a mid-twenties-something today, I was among the girls growing up in the heyday of Limited Too: the glory days of closets stocked full of 90s sweaters, velvet everything, and way too many hair accessories to begin to count. If you were one too, you know EXACTLY what...
I've never been a fan of the "boring bras" - You know, the basic nude or solid color bras that every woman has in her wardrobe. Unfortunately, this is a necessity for dressing most days, so I wonder, why does practicality have to mean "boring"? I recently discovered a...
One thing's for sure - You can never have too many basics in your wardrobe. Blacks and grays are my go-to colors all year, so finding accessories to add a little oomph to these basic hues is a must. I've recently had a thing for plaid scarves (this is nothing new),...
Vibrant reds, metallics, and sparkles are some of my favorite styles for holiday dressing. Since the month of December is packed full of Christmas parties, it's time to start stocking up on new holiday dresses for all of the celebrations! My first find for the...
A great blouse is one of the most versatile pieces you can own, in my opinion. Since it can look put-together for the office, casual chic with a great pair of denim, or edgy when paired with leather skinnies, there's really no buyer's remorse when stumbling upon a...
A few years ago, the term "poncho" to me reminded me of those awkward mock-turtleneck, bubblegum-hued Limited Too tossovers. Ring a bell? Well safe to say that image has been quickly replaced by the countless amount of chic ponchos popping up this season. These warm...
Finding a versatile dress that is appropriate to the office but chic enough for happy hour isn't always easy, but this new drop-waist dress I found recently is perfect for all occasions. To keep a professional look for the office, I paired this sheath with my...
