Who else is having a flashback to childhood seeing all of these awesome hair clips out there right now?!
I first noticed when Sincerely Jules came out with her collaboration with Scunci, avail at Target, that pins and clips were making a come back! I am notoriously bad about “doing my hair” so personally, I am loving this trend because it helps me do something interesting with my long locks instead of just throwing my hair into a bun! I ordered some pearl clips off of Amazon and TBH you get what you pay for, because I bought like 10 for $20 and they did not hold my hair very well. So, I liked a few more quality clips for you guys, if you want to jump on the trend! I also plan on ordering a few sets from the Sincerely Jules collection, to take me back in time to my ballet days with bobby pins galore.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner & it’s a chance to express a little extra love for the special ones in our lives! We believe that you don’t have to break the bank or go over the top on gifts in order to show your appreciation. Sometimes a card + a little something extra can say ‘i love you’ too. We think that our moms deserve the world, and as long as the intention & gratitude are evident, we think they’ll feel the love no matter the gift!

Everyone loves candles right? We are both shameless, certified candle hoarders and believe that they can elevate your space to feel comfortable & transport you to other times and places based on your scent memories. A good candle makes a great gift. Here are some of our favorites >>

A scent is one of the most personal things in the world! So many of my memories are linked to the way that people smell (not in a creepy way, I swear). Fragrances are also a way to express your femininity and personal style in a creative way, making them a perfectly intimate gift for the mom in your life <3

April showers bring May Flowers and lots of new shiny, fashionable things for Spring. Am I right? Something about the warm weather makes me want to invest in new pieces for my closet. From baby doll off the shoulder dresses to a new pair of Nikes – here is what I have my eye on this month.

Taking care of your hair in the salon can cost a pretty penny – and not to mention, a lot of your precious time. We know that there are lots of masks, treatments, and time consuming “what nots” that you can use in between salon appointments – but let’s be real, sometimes we need an efficient product that we can use on the fly for our fellow blondes and brunettes.
Catherine and I have a habit of showing up on days to shoot coordinating, inadvertently twinning! While we definitely have our own personal styles, we tend to gravitate towards the same pieces and trends. In this case, I took a page out of her book when I saw that she has been rocking her J’Adior Kitten Heels. For years I have shied away from this style shoe, thinking that the higher the heel, the better. But lately I have been reaching more for my sneakers and less towards my heels, so I figured I would take a stab at the kitten heel after long last.
We are starting a new series here on The Crystal Press, where Catherine and I will share our current favorites with you guys each month! Sometimes, these will be in the form of a simple outfit post, and sometimes it will be more of a wish list or a round-up. We want the content on here to be something that you continue to check in on, and our hope is that with these consistent series’, that will be the case! So without further ado, here are some trends / pieces that I am loving for spring. (more…)

With the smell of Spring in the air and the days getting longer, it is hard NOT to crave a trip to a season-less destination where the Piña Colada’s (with extra coconut for me) are flowing and the chic warm weather fashion is all around. Whether that means the Almafi Coast, Miami, or a local beach for you – a flattering swimsuit is a must. With the beach on your mind, what better way to make room in your life for a vacation than to find the perfect swimmy? After all, the Universe sends you your desires when you hold a space for them.
Regardless of the fashion season, I love me a good white boot. From booties to tall boots, choosing to go with white in these shoe styles can elevate something as simple as a comfy black dress.
Throughout the winter months, I wore RAYE the Label patent white boots with just about anything (see photo above.) Now that warmer weather is starting to show it’s face (SO HAPPY!), I wanted to upgrade my white boot game and give my RAYE’s a break. I was a little hesitant about ordering these Public Desire slouch knee white boots from ASOS but I am in love with them, especially for the affordable price point. In terms of sizing, I usually wear a 6.5 and ordered a size 7.
These boots are comfortable, a super soft material, and did it exactly what I wanted them to do: took a super comfy LBD to the next level.
What are your feelings on the white boot trend? If you are into it – I have rounded up my favorite white boots for Spring for you below! Let me know what else you guys need help with for the new season !! XO
