Transitioning Winter Wardrobe in Spring Weather with The Crystal Press

These sixty degree weather days are popping up more and more as Spring tries to make its way into our life and it’s AMAZING. When I was flying back from Santa Fe, NM last week, I checked what the weather would be when I landed in Richmond and happened to notice that it was warmer than Los Angeles, California (where my alter ego lives.) Rebecca and I seem to endlessly chatter about the weather on here but TBH, watching the drastic changes has made it kind of hard NOT to talk about the weather – am I right?

On the same weather note, as these warm days keep popping up on our calendar – why not think about dressing for these warm days as well? This blogpost is an outfit I wear on a random warm day, without going TOO Spring oriented. A white long sleeve and backless Farrow shirt from Need Supply, wide leg culottes, and a straw bag from Need Supply Co with my (now) attached-to-my-head black French Connection hat from ASOS. Want to jazz your “Sprinter” (Spring in the middle of Winter) outfit up even more? Add some dangly earrings with a pop of color. I grabbed a blue pair and think that Anthropologie has a great selection of statement earrings.

Friday Favorites: Graphic Tees and Malin + Goetz

 

HAPPY FRIDAY, friends! We made it! What are you guys up to this weekend? I’m looking forward to hopefully getting some painting done around the house – a longgggg overdue task.  I have such a hard time being productive around the house on Saturdays and an even harder time trying to convince John that that’s when normal people do house work.  We’d usually rather have our normal crosswording and brunch session at Joe’s Inn, followed by beer and basketball or brewery hopping! But, I’m putting my foot down this weekend! We – will – get- it – done.

ANYWHO! As you guys have probably noticed, every week or so Catherine and I like to take a look at our recent outfits, insta-stories and blog posts and look for the inevitable patterns that develop.  Lately, we’ve been rocking graphic tees non-stop, and specifically graphic tees that make us feel like serious #GirlBosses. It’s a great reminder when you look in the mirror to have a kicka$$ message staring back at you!  Cath’s Gucci tee is pretty much #goals too. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite boss babe tees for you guys here:



I’ve gotta support our local faves Little Nomad with this RVA All Day shirt, too! You can see Cath rocking hers in one of my favorite, extra looks here.

malin + goetz hair products

 

Another favorite on repeat these days are Malin + Goetz products! The peppermint shampoo + cilantro conditioner are divine for our hair and the recovery treatment oil is a true miracle worker. The price tag might be kind of high, but trust me, its worth it.  It will make your face as smoooooth as a baby’s bottom.  (Just now realizing how kind of creepy that saying is?)

Galentine’s Day with The Crystal Press

Since the dawn of The Crystal Press, the two of us have celebrated Galentine’s Day. Whether we are traveling for fashion month or at home in Richmond together, we make a point to celebrate in one way or another! It is hard to believe that just 10 plus years ago this now well known celebration was coming to life through the TV show Parks and Rec and today it is a worldwide celebration between females. WE LOVE IT!

How To Wear Jean Shorts In The Winter

Jean Shorts + OTK boots, a classic winter combo?

Whenever Catherine and I are getting ready together – for an event, for a shoot or just for the day – her go-to when she is having outfit struggles, is her favorite jean shorts. (Well, there are a few pairs in rotation, but you get the point.) Honestly, I would never have thought of wearing them in the winter time, if it wasn’t one of her trusty looks.  I think one time this winter it was literally 10 degrees out, and Cath sends a snap of her heading out with short denim + over the knee boots. This is a true story. For me, I have been bundling up in an array of fabulous outerwear, just desperate to stay warm!

Beauty Must-Haves from NET-A-PORTER

Alright, this blogpost on The Crystal Press is for all of my fellow beauty junkies. I am OBSESSED with beauty products and my obsession ranges from skincare to mascara to highlighter and everything in between. You guys too?

 

Lately, I have had my eye on a lot of products that I want to try on NET-A-PORTER. I mean, Diptyque Rose Hand Cream? I can’t not picture myself pulling that baby out of my purse and smelling like the chicest goddess on Earth after applying! I am fully aware of my beauty junkie problem but for your viewing (and online shopping) pleasure here is what I am currently craving from NET-A-PORTER Beauty. Some of these products maybe me a litttttle pricey, but trust me, its important to invest in the best products!



Had to throw in some of our overall favorite fragrances as well!



xx, HAPPY TUESDAY LOVELIES!

Velvet Turtleneck on Repeat

This velvet turtleneck has been getting a lot of play lately. 

reb velvet turtleneckIf you follow me on my personal instagram, you’ve seen this velvet turtleneck twice already and if you watch my stories, you’ve seen it even more! When I was trying to decide what look to share on here next, I thought maybe this piece had been played out so I was a little skeptical. But then, I saw that it is now on sale for $30 and still available in most sizes, so that decision was made! I originally bought this to wear on New Years Eve / my 30th Birthday party but had a change of plans when I got the Laundry ombre sequins dress I had been pining over for months for Christmas.  The planning part of my brain was thrown for a little bit of a loop, but I recovered pretty quickly.

Anyways, I digress.

A Sweater for All Seasons

cathclaire the crystal press fashion blog

Black and white pieces are always a safe bet when it comes to getting the most out of your closet. I love the way this ASOS sweater makes a statement while being so wearable with a neutral color palette.  You guys are really into sweaters this year (just like us!) because every time Rebecca and I post one – you go crazy for the links. That being said, we figured that we would show off some more of our favorites for you during these warm weather months!

If you are in the market for a good sweater, check out ASOS. They have plenty to choose from and not to mention – this black and white checkered beauty!

Valentine’s Picks with The Crystal Press

So what if Valentine’s Day is a Hallmark holiday? Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t celebrate. 

Okay, so I know we are still 20 days out from Valentine’s Day, but we tend to get a little excited when it comes to dressing for occasions.  Sure, our goal is to be extra #extra this year, so yes, I have been wearing velvet on the reg, but there’s something more invigorating about planning an outfit for Valentine’s Day.  I may not be the girliest girl on the block, but even I have been perusing the ‘net to find just the right outfit for the evening!

The Silver Boots Trend with The Crystal Press

silver boots fashion blogger the crystal press
Silver boots, or as my husband likes to call them ‘moon boots’, are in style in a big way right now guys and The Crystal Press is INTO it. I am sure boots are as much of a staple in your closet all year round as they are in ours. It is hard NOT to wear boots with an outfit. I mean, boots are wearable with a pair of shorts or a dress in the warmer months or with just about any outfit in the colder months aka NOW! Neutral boots are always a safe bet – you know, your browns and blacks – but why not spice it up a bit in 2018 with an eye-catching pair of silver ones?

 

Whether you are on a budget and looking for a great price point on silver boots or looking to splurge on the silver boots by the goddess Isabel Marant, we have got your covered in this silver boot roundup today peeps! You can’t go wrong on either end of the spectrum. Not to mention, we love the effect that a sassy metallic boot can have on a simple outfit like jeans and a t-shirt. Yes, they may be a little bit extra, but we told you our goal is to be extra in 2018. Who is with us?

P.S If you want to take your extra to the next level – how about a pair of these sequin pants?
