I absolutely love discovering new brands, so when J.ING emailed us about trying out their pieces, I was really excited. The anticipation when clicking a link to a new brand is “well this stuff could be really cool, or we’ll probably pass.” With J.ING it was an immediate oooooh & ahhhh situation. I was immediately drawn to their pieces and noticed how each piece puts a chic twist on a classic. The brand describes themselves as “a womenswear collection for the bold and romantic” and I think that pretty much hits the nail on the head.

Cathclaire’s Most-Used Maternity Fashion Piece from HATCH Gal

maternity fashion the crystal press blog

As we get towards the end of my pregnancy (considering my due date was 5 days ago LOL), I have been thinking back over the past 10 months. It has gone by relatively quicker than I thought being pregnant would and dressing the bump has been quite the adventure. I am not going to get into all the feels with this blog post, I mostly wanted to check in and tell you my favorite, favorite, most-used maternity fashion piece throughout this entire journey: my HATCH gal poncho.

Four Seasons Austin

four seasons austin

John and I are heading back to Austin in 10 days and staying at Four Seasons again. The upcoming trip prompted me to peek at my camera roll to revisit our trip last year! I get to tag along with John on SXSW Edu conference for the second year in a row and hands down the best part is getting to stay at Four Seasons.

Last year, our stay at FS Austin was John’s first Four Seasons experience and he finally understood why we love the hotels so much. From the second you walk in, you feel like family, and know that you are getting the best of the best service. John’s favorite part was returning from the conference a few times a day and having the door opened for him, with the door men saying “welcome back!”

Reb’s Home Office Update

reb home office the crystal press

My loft / home office redesign is finally complete and it feels SO GOOD. I fell in love with this space when we first saw the house four years ago and knew that eventually I would make this area my happy place. It has been an ongoing project for a year or so, but I can finally say that except for a rogue wing chair that is temporarily living in the corner, it is finished! It all started with me using chalk paint to transform a hand-me-down desk and ordering a few pieces of art from Minted.

Statement Pieces: Feather Detail

WE DID IT AGAIN! We showed up to shoot and when we went to get changed, we came out of the bathroom stalls to see that we were both rocking feather accent pieces. I was wearing a pair of dark green jeans with button & feather hem detail and Cath had the cooooolest piece on. We couldn’t help but laugh at ourselves, again. It has really just become expected at this point for us to be matching, twinning or coordinating in some sort of way – but with our own personal style twists. This weekend was no exception!

Before we get to the packing, let’s briefly talk about ski trip essentials.

Red Blazers for Valentine’s Day

Every time we post outfits with a pop or a lot of color, I always give the disclosure: “well, you know, we usually lean toward neutral colors, but….” and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, the same goes here! Catherine has been known to throw a pop of red on her looks over the years, and I loved this outfit from the fall where she rocked the red blazer over a tee and jean skirt. Well, as we are two weeks out from Valentine’s Day it seemed like this was the perfect time to share this red blazer.

Where To Stay in Steamboat: The Steamboat Grand

make sure you make it through the whole blog post – there’s an epic Valentine’s giveaway at the end!

We have been traveling to Steamboat for as long as I can remember and each trip seems better than the last! Over the years, we have stayed at different places on and around the mountain and a place that we keep coming back to is The Steamboat Grand. It is the perfect place to stay if you’re traveling with a smaller group, as they have great options for units that have two bedrooms with a shared living room and kitchen area!

We always go to the grocery store on the first day and get breakfast fixins, beer, wine & snacks so that we can spend as much time together in the Grand as possible. They have a shuttle that will take you anywhere you want to go and when you take your grocery run, they have bins on the van for you to put your groceries that they will then deliver to your room. Talk about service!

TCP Picks: Our lululemon Favorites

Starting the New Year off right with lululemon : The Sweat Life.

on
we are part of the lululemon collective & will receive a commission if you purchase through the links in this blog post.

REAL TALK: Watching Catherine keep up with her work out routine throughout her pregnancy has been nothing short of inspiring. Add it to the list of things that have thoroughly impressed me over the past 6 months!

AND, over these last few months I have been saying I need to get in the gym with her and tbh, I never followed through. However, when January rolled around and I finally got a smart watch to track my steps and saw the embarrassing results, I knew I had to do something. So, I joined Crunch Fitness so that I could work out with Cathy and have her help to keep me accountable.

Naturally, I needed to upgrade my work out gear as well. ENTER: lululemon. They really do have the best of the best when it comes to, well, everything. {Just ask my Dad, he’s lululemon’s biggest fan}.
