Whether you want to spend a pretty penny or look for something more affordable, we’ve gathered up some of our favorite workout clothes from Revolve at a variety of different price points in this blogpost.

It’s almost time to take advantage of the outdoors and we’ve got a few tips for how to have the best afternoon ever.  We shared some photos from this day with you guys on Valentine’s Day, but we thought it was worth revisiting.

For your best day ever:

Denim Refresh with Evidnt Los Angeles

The Crystal Press has new denim for your wardrobe this spring: Evidnt Los Angeles

There will never be a season where denim isn’t on our minds. Whether it be the perfect pair of skinnies for every occasion (this striped number is still on rotation) or the denim skirt that can go from a Spring day to night effortlessly, there is no denying that denim is a major wardrobe powerhouse.  That being said, you can find denim pieces at just about any price point but discovering the cuts and designs that suit your taste and style can be a challenge. This, my friends, is something that is my everyday challenge and I am so excited to share with you that I have found another denim brand that I love: Evidnt Los Angeles.

I have had back to back success with Evidnt online shopping orders. First I loved this black pair of their wide leg jeans and then, I had mega success with this uneven hemmed skirt I’m wearing in this blogpost. I love the asymmetrical hem and the strategic frayed edge that adds just enough flare to any outfit. I especially like that Evidnt’s price point is affordable around the one hundred dollar mark and under. You can’t go wrong with the casual yet modern look of Evidnt’s laid back California designs. See for yourself – you can shop Evidnt Los Angeles at Anthropologie, Nordstrom, and ASOS.

(and hurry because there are a lot of pieces on sale beauties!)

Affordable Fashion: The Red Trend

Looking for affordable fashion options? Todays post is for you!

When it comes to fashion, we will be the first ones here at The Crystal Press to say that affordable fashion ALWAYS put a smile on our face. Don’t get me wrong, we love to find ways to get fashionable investment pieces – but that option is not always in the cards for Rebecca and I. That being said, affordable fashion has become something we have gotten really good at during our time fashion blogging on TCP and we are excited to share our knowledge with you in the name of the pop of red trend!

Have you noticed the red trend craze or is that just us? From Rebecca’s lookbook outfit post here with red earrings to these looks I have pulled up for this fashion trend focus post – red seems to be all around us! I have gathered up some great pieces, from accessories to clothing, that will add the perfect amount of red into your wardrobe without requiring too much effort or breaking the bank here:

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.

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!

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!

The Trick to Dressing in the Cold Weather

Motivation to get dressed plummets when the temperature drops, especially for the ladies of The Crystal Press. How can we and our fellow fashionistas get out ahead of this winter wardrobe occurrence? Read this blogpost to see an easily executed solution for dressing in cold weather!

travel blog the crystal press

Can we talk about these freezing temperatures for a second people? What a racket! As the weather has become colder than Antarctica in our lovely hometown of Richmond, Rebecca and I are constantly noticing/talking about how we can’t seem to get warm. Alas, outfit pictures inside.

To give you an idea: I am writing this blogpost in my winter pajamas topped with a huge terry cloth robe while wrapped up in my Missoni blanket inside my house drinking hot tea. Fueh, that is quite the sentence.

Anyways, you get the picture – it’s freaking cold out. That brings me to my next point, how to look remotely fashionable when its below freezing outside and the last thing you are motivated to do (or think about) is to look fashionable! Fear not fellow fashionistas, I have a solution for you.

In fact, this solution doesn’t just go for when it is below freezing out. It pretty much works 100% of the time. Throw together a warm outfit of one color (of course my color of choice was black,) with different textures if your feeling crazy, and finish it off with a statement winter coat (faux fur, robe style coat or a floor length puffer coat).

If you start collecting pieces of your favorite color to wear, you will notice yourself reaching for them more often because they are so easily mixed and matched. Prime example: I wore these leather culottes with Vans on The Crystal Press here.  Dressing becomes so much easier when you only keep things that are your favorite anything in your closet. It almost eliminates the lazy factor completely. Almost.

Where to Shop in Richmond with The Crystal Press

We are so excited to finally share this video project The Crystal Press worked on with a crew from Google in Richmond, Va. The video is called “Shop Like a Local” and is featuring Need Supply Co, Little Nomad, and Ledbury.

 

We can’t believe that the day has finally come where we get to share with our readers one of our favorite projects that The Crystal Press has worked on to date and something that we are new at: VIDEO. The two of us almost didn’t believe our eyes when we received the email about this project with google – that’s how pumped we were at the prospect of working with them AND taking them around one of the best cities (and our hometown): Richmond, VA.

Is anyone else as afraid of public speaking as we are? Talk about two nervous ladies! (I mean, they are google…) But, luckily we had an amazing video crew who made us feel at ease and on top of that, we got to spend the day hanging with some of our favorite Richmond people throughout the day who were naturals on camera. (I’m looking at you Paul, Christina, and Anthony!). This was truly a memorable experience and we are so thankful to Google for including us, to Need Supply Co, Ledbury, and Little Nomad (see Cath rocking the RVA All Day shirt from the video here,) for putting Richmond on the map, and of course- to the city of Richmond. We think 2018 is our year, 804.

How to Make Sequin Pants Look Cool

Hesitant to invest in anything other than a sequin dress? Read on to find out how you can make sequin pants look cool and wearable with a tied up t-shirt and a blazer. 

sequin pants look cool

Sequins and everything extra seem to be showing up in every retail establishment and fashion blog / magazine as of late. What girl doesn’t enjoy a little bit of sparkle? Cathclaire for one, will never say no to a little bit of sparkle – hence the sequin wedding dress and  these Topshop sequin flare pants

When I ordered these Topshop sequin pants, I ordered two different sizes because I was that excited about wearing them. I couldn’t bear the chance of them not fitting and me having to wait for the right size to be shipped. Better to cover all of my bases, am I right?

I acknowledge that these Topshop pants are the definition of extra and that is exactly why I paired them with a t-shirt. Okay, not just any t-shirt but one of my favorites. My “RVA All Day” t- shirt is designed by DJ Ant Boogie, owner of Little Nomad (a shop for all the hip children’s clothes and things galore!) It is hard to see the design on the t-shirt in these photos because I tied the T-shirt up, but if you are a Richmonder and don’t have one – you need to get yourself one ASAP. It is one of the coolest Richmond slogans I have seen in a very long time and not to mention, I am always happy to support my man Anthony.

Do you see yourself rocking sequin pants in 2018? Grab yourself a pair and put your personal twist on them to make them look cool and less extra. xo Cath
