The Perennial Style Journal
Trend alerts, wardrobe staples and the pieces we’re wearing, wanting and wishlisting.
Dressing up statement tees or sweatshirts is such an unexpected way to add a fun pop to any look. The "Ballin" or "Celfie" tee are two of the most commonly seen graphics of street style, but I just love this comic-inspired graphic sweatshirt I snagged at ShopSeptember...
Fur vests are my favorite Fall accessory, since they add a fun statement to any classic outfit in a matter of seconds. I paired this neutral fur vest over a loose green dress and casual ankle booties for an easy afternoon look. Bold lip colors are such a trend this...
As much as I love major department stores, visiting local boutiques is my preferred method of shopping. Apart from boutiques cutting back on the overwhelming intake of clothing in large retailers, boutiques are always the first to introduce shoppers to up-and-coming...
For the second day of South Walton Fashion Week, I opted for this hunter green Splendid dress and a lightweight Alice and Oliva vest that I snagged a few years ago (try this similar one!). Dressing for Fall when it is still hot outside can be a challenge, however,...
This weekend I am home in Sandestin, Florida covering South Walton Fashion Week, and I am having so much fun discovering new brands, attending panel discussions and fashion shows, as well as connecting with bloggers and designers along the coast! Check out my outfit...

When I'm traveling for more than a week, I like to pack items that I know I can mix and match to save space in my suitcase. This J Crew flared skirt is one of my favorites to travel with. Though a blue skater skirt may not seem like the typical neutral, I love the way...
Orange, brown, gold... and PINK - It's time to turn a new leaf over for Fall and make it pink! Though this vibrant hue generally isn't associated with the warm neutrals of the season, I think it's time to add it in! This bright moto jacket I snagged last season is one...
