I never thought we would be doing car reviews on the Perennial Style (see our other posts here and here – thanks GM!), but I had so much fun driving the Chevy Volt! As most people know, this is the car you can plug in and drive on electricity. When it arrived at my house, it had about 25 miles of electricity so I drove it around Dallas during the week. Once the electricity was used up, it automatically switched to gas, which was a relief since I’ve always wondered what would happen to an electric car if I couldn’t find a plug! Since my house does not have a garage, I didn’t plug it in again and just used the gas. I was pleasantly surprised when we traveled to Austin and only had to fill up the tank once on the whole journey – $25 roundtrip to Austin? Talk about great gas mileage! As a current Tahoe driver, it was awesome to switch to such an efficient car.
The Volt also had all the fun bells and whistles of new cars- GPS, XM Radio, heated seats, etc. The backseat of the car had bucket seats instead of a bench, which was interesting and extra comfortable. Overall, I was very impressed with the Chevy Volt and thought it was a great value. To learn more about this car, click here.

I’m always looking to find the perfect gift for my friends, and I’ve finally found my “go to” gift idea. Last year I was all about candles like this and this, but for 2014 I’ve turned to these precious trays from Two’s Company. The trays come in a variety colors and sayings, so there’s always an appropriate tray for any occasion! Since we’re getting to the age where we are taking more pride in our homes, a special decorative item is always a meaningful gift. Best of all, they are only $22!

I love lots of color in a room, and I am obsessed with the agate trend that is popping up everywhere. It’s such a fun and simple way to add texture and something unique to any room. Agate tends to be a little pricey, so if you ever find a cool piece on sale I suggest you buy it and use it as decoration in a shelf, on a coffee table, or anywhere else that needs a burst of color. Luckily lots of designers are picking up on this trend so you can find everything from coasters, lamps, wine bottle stoppers, bookends, and much more. I think we will be seeing these beautiful pieces around for a while, so I recommend you pick up a unique agate sooner than later!
