Printed Trousers

Printed Trousers

One trend you should definitely keep an eye out for this Spring would be printed trousers. Trousers are such an easy alternative to jeans if you are looking to remain casual, yet chic. If you are looking for the perfect pair, Lela Rose has you covered. She has been designing the perfect printed trouser for years, and I am a huge fan of mine – tip for shopping: be sure to buy a size down, as they tend to stretch! To learn more about Lela Rose, see our post here. I paired my trousers with this Lilly Pulitzer peplum sweater and a pearl necklace my mother-in-law gave me.

PS for GM: Chevy Volt

PS for GM: Chevy Volt

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.

Function is as important as fashion when it comes to eyewear, which is why we are loving our new Persol sunglasses – That’s right, we loved them so much that we bought 3 pairs! The polarized lenses help block sunlight and UV rays to protect your eyes, while the trendy round lenses add a fun edge to your look. Definitely a must-have for sunny summer days!
