I’m really enjoying the comeback of the palazzo pant this Spring. They are like the cool older sibling of those short-lived gaucho pants that arose when I was in high school – like I’ve said before, I’m all about the comfortable clothes! As one of the most popular styles in the 60’s, printed palazzo pants embody a certain flower child vibe which I absolutely adore. The trick to palazzo pants is all about the length. Make sure to find a pair that skims the ground in wedges or flat sandals. Also, be sure to pair them with a solid, fitted top to avoid looking sloppy. Get the look with these, these, these, or these!

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.

Meet Mayhem: The four year old fashion designer taking the world by storm. The miniature fashionista whose creativity spans way further than her costume closet began creating her own dresses out of paper when she became quickly bored with her dress up collection. Using only the materials a small child can find within her home, Mayhem has created quite the array of dresses out of paper, tissue, aluminum foil, and even gauze. Take a peek at some of her creations below – The award show looks are definitely my favorites. Which dress is your favorite?

This season I am all about crop tops. I just can’t seem to get enough of these for Spring, which is why I am loving this Peter Pilotto for Target crop top I picked up last week. I thought the black and white pattern was perfectly retro when paired with these round sunnies, and I added this orange cross-body bag for a fun pop of color. A good tip to remember when wearing crop tops is to pair it with a high-waist bottom to ensure too much skin isn’t showing. I am also a huge fan of vintage shopping, so when I spotted this vintage leather pencil skirt I knew it was a must for my wardrobe and the perfect skirt for this top. What Spring trends are you loving this year?

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of David Yurman’s signature Renaissance cable bracelet, a new line of aluminum cable bracelets are launching in stores tomorrow. Ever since I received my very first Yurman bangle in boarding school (thanks, mom!), I rarely go a day without wearing my stacked collection. When I heard about the limited edition aluminum bangles, I was more than excited. The cable bracelets normally start around $550, but the aluminum collection is priced at only $350 each! Available in a variety of colors, these bracelets are the perfect gift for any loved one. What do you think of the limited edition collection?
