The Look for Less: Designer Boots

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 in. Riding boots will forever be a classic, which is why I just snagged a pair of these Frye boots for the Fall. While I’m dreaming for these super trendy Balenciaga ankle boots, I know in reality it would be smarter for me to order a pair of these instead. Take a peek of some of my favorite Fall boot trends below and see how you can get the look for less!

Calling Carrie Bradshaw

Untitled2Calling 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, don’t be surprised if you are yearning for the new Fendi mules to pair with a pair of cropped cigarette pants for your next happy hour.  Check out some of designers newest mules for this season. I have to say 3.1 Phillip Lim nails it with his bold take on the classic shoe. What do you think?

Beauty Must-Haves

Beauty Must-Haves

Every Southern girl knows you should never leave the house without makeup. Whether we stay rooted in that mentality or not, we know taking an extra five minutes in the morning to apply the basic beauty essentials makes a world of a difference. I have a tendency to purchase a plethora of unnecessary cosmetics, but I always find myself using the same products every day.

I am no snob with my products and enjoy a mix of designer and drugstore brands. Eyeliner is my vice, therefore I have tried every brand under the sun: MACBobbi Brown, Serge Lutens, you name it. I was surprised to find, however, the simplest and most inexpensive was my favorite- Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner. If you haven’t tried it, go buy it now. You will thank me later.

In the meantime, check out some of my other must-have beauty finds in my cosmetic bag!

The Look for Less: Spikes

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 these similar flats I found online below. Either style you choose is bound to make a statement with your next daily ensemble.

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, what better way to celebrate than by donning a wardrobe of sparkles and shine! I plan on rocking these fabulous (and affordable) earrings from Bauble Bar, cheersing with these contemporary glasses from Z Gallerie, lusting over this Philip Armstrong skater dress, and topping it off with some neon pink lipstick – my weakness, of course.  With that being said, cheers to one year and many more to come! xoxo

happy 1 year
