Trend alerts, wardrobe staples and the pieces we’re wearing, wanting and wishlisting.

Beat the Blues

Beat the Blues

One of my favorite looks for Fall is monochromatic matching. When I found this skirt I knew I would be able to get so much wear out of it this season. The length is perfect for work, but the fit and flare shape makes the perfect transition from 9-5 to Happy Hour. My...

Trick or Treat

Trick or Treat

It’s that time of year again – Halloween! I don’t know about you, but my Halloween week this year is filled with work parties and charity functions. I plan on being festive without rocking a head-to-toe lavish costume like years prior, so I’ve searched around for the...

TREND ALERT: Leather-Sleeve Jackets

TREND ALERT: Leather-Sleeve Jackets

It’s always refreshing when a style is carried over from one season to the next, which in this case involves leather-sleeve jackets. What I love about this trend is how the leather can add a hint of “cool” to even the preppiest pea coat. From trenches to bombers to...

Cozy Chic

Cozy Chic

It’s a rainy Monday in Dallas, which means comfort is the ultimate go-to for the day. There’s nothing I love more than an over-sized sweater to cozy up in and avoid the dreary weather outside. Check out my cozy chic look of the day:...

The Look for Less: Designer Boots

Out of all the seasons of the year, my favorite has finally arrived… BOOT SEASON! Though it may not be considered a “real season”, it still counts in my book.  Styles come and go quickly, so it’s important to pay attention to which designer items we decide to invest...

Calling Carrie Bradshaw

Calling Carrie Bradshaw: MULES ARE BACK! Yes, you heard that correctly - those backless, slide-on heels you graciously gave away early in the millennium have made a comeback this season. Though they may resemble a shoe your grandmother would wear to Christmas dinner,...

The Look for Less: Spikes

If you thought the spike trend was over, think again. Christian Louboutin is keeping the spikes alive once again this season with new styles of heels, pumps, and boots to make your mouth water. For those of you who want the look without the heavy price tag, check out...

Happy 1 Year!

Happy 1 Year!

Happy 1st birthday to The Perennial Style! I cannot believe it has already been one full year since we started this fashion blogging journey. Thanks to all of our followers and supporters throughout this past year. It has been such a blast! When it comes to birthdays,...

Wearing Wang

Hello, Fall!  I feel each year it’s important to add a few new staples to my Fall wardrobe. I am currently craving these Alexander Wang boots for casual weekend days. Not looking to splurge? Try this similar version from Dolce Vita.    ...

Issa London + Banana Republic

If you haven’t heard already, Banana Republic has teamed up with the AMAZING Issa London to bring an affordable collection to Banana Republic stores. If Issa London doesn't ring a bell, I’m sure the famous sapphire dress Kate Middleton wore for her engagement...

An Eye For An Eye

An Eye For An Eye

From jewelry to shoes to clutches and more, the eye motif is making its way into the fashion world this Fall. Keep an eye out for these fashion-forward pieces and be sure to integrate them into your wardrobe for the upcoming season!...

Topshop Invades the Big D

Topshop Invades the Big D

The British are coming! In less than one month, my favorite online retailer Topshop will be opening a boutique within the Dallas Nordstrom stores. Considering I’m rather old school and prefer to visit the brick-and-mortar locations over online shopping, I am beyond...
