We grew up in Dothan, Alabama then went to boarding school at Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg, Virginia (we loved it!). We all went to SMU (and pledged Pi Beta Phi), and we’ve been in Dallas ever since. We love Texas!

Blair’s husband Peter is from Winston-Salem, North Carolina and Janie’s husband is from Los Gatos, California. Ellen’s husband was born and raised in Dallas. We travel a lot to visit friends and family all over, but we don’t see ourselves moving from Texas any time soon!

We are in our late 20s and early 30s. We were born within 3.5 years, so we have always done everything together!

Yes, we are all married!

Dallas is such an amazing city, and we love living here! What makes Dallas so unique is that it has something for everyone. Whether you’re passionate about fashion, food, music, volunteering, or the arts, you can find it in Dallas. Dallas is continuously growing, so there’s always a new restaurant to try or a new neighborhood to explore. It’s impossible to get bored in Dallas – and as three sisters who never stop, the pace of Dallas is just right.

We absolutely love Club Med! We grew up traveling to Club Med resorts every year since we were little, and they are still our favorite resort for family trips. Since they are all-inclusive and offer so many activities, there’s something for everyone. Click to read our posts on Martinique, Turks and Caicos, and Sandpiper.

I started traveling solo in my 20s, and I think everyone should travel solo at least once. Even though it was a little weird at first, I later discovered it was one of the best experiences! I still keep in touch with so many travelers I met on those trips, and I highly recommend it if you are wanting to plan a getaway! If I’m traveling solo or with friends, safety is always my priority.

Staying flexible on your travel dates is always the best way to find affordable flights, but I’ve found the best rates from Google Flights! Click here to read my post on how to book affordable flights.

We started the blog in 2012!

After graduating from college, we wanted a creative outlet as a hobby to enjoy outside of the office. Blogging was still pretty new at the time, but Blair had the idea to start a sister blog for something fun we could do together.

We had no clue it would grow to where it is today and it has evolved so much over the years, but it has been the best experience and we are so grateful for our readers!

Blair actually came up with the name! Since our last name is Flowers and a Perennial is a flower that comes back every season, it was a play on our last name.

This is one of our most-asked questions! Starting a blog was one of the best decisions we have ever made, and it has given us the opportunity to meet so many amazing people.

My number one piece of advice is to make sure you are passionate about what you are blogging about. I’ve heard so many people say they want to start a blog to quit their job or get free stuff. If this is your motivation, you will probably lose interest quickly. Growing an engaged following takes a LOT of time, and you have to be authentic and truly passionate about what you are writing about. Figure out what inspires you and what excites you, and start writing.

Everyone has a unique story, so don’t be afraid to share yours!

We have always taken and edited our own photos. We prefer to do it all ourselves, instead of hiring a photographer – for us, it just feels more natural this way. Ellen loves photography, so it is her favorite part of blogging! We trade off behind the camera, have our mom help when she’s around, shoot around Dallas with our photography assistant Lisa, or use self-timer when traveling!

We edit our photos in Adobe Lightroom and VSCO.

Ellen designed and created it. If you’re interested in a custom website design, email us for rates and packages.

We make money from the blog by collaborations and campaigns, sponsored posts, and affiliate programs.

Sponsored posts are blog posts and social media posts that include “sponsored” or “ad”. While these are paid posts, we selectively choose which brands are authentic to our lifestyle and readers to create content to share our experience with that product.

Affiliate networks such as LiketoKnow.it and rewardStyle provide commision if someone purchases a product from one of the links on our blog or social media accounts.

At this time, we are not hiring. If you would like to submit your resume for future opportunities, please send your resume to theperennialstyle@gmail.com with the subject line “RESUME”
