HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY CATHCLAIRE

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY TO THE GEM OF A WOMAN THAT IS CATHERINE

I am so excited to celebrate our blonde half todayyyyyy on The Crystal Press. We have come so far since the early days of TCP and this journey would be absolutely no fun at all without you.  From our travels together, to our latest venture (mostly on your part) of learning about our human design profiles, you have taught me so much.  You’ve taught me so much about myself, about how to work as a duo and how to step out of my comfort zone on so many levels. This year is going to be full of many more adventures, many, many more outfits and hopefully will be full of love and laughter. I can’t wait to celebrate you tonight in true Cathy fashion.

Make sure you’re following along with us on insta-stories to join in the celebrations! We’ll probably be posting on all threeeee: @cathclaire, @thecrystalpress, @rebeccapiersol

Cathclaire’s May Birthday Wishlist

Looking for a birthday gift for a fashion lover in your life? We’ve got you covered in today’s blogpost! the crystal press fashion blog cathclaire

Happy May loves!

Where are my fellow May babies at? I am aware that I am 100% biast in saying this but May is my all-time favorite month of the year and has been since I was a wee one. There is so much to celebrate in the month of May: me (LOL), the warm weather, college graduations, weddings, fellow Taureans and more! Whether you are looking for a gift for yourself or to celebrate someone special in your life –  I am sharing some items (both ones that are affordable and a bit of a splurge) that I have my eye on as a kind of birthday wishlist. Most of the products I chose are from online shopping hubs like Netaporter, ASOS, and Shopbop. Let me know what you think! I hope this makes a shopping occasion for you easier! xo

Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Moms always have our backs and we could all argue that every day should be Mother’s Day. But alas, popular culture has narrowed the official celebration down to a Sunday in early May.  Show your mama some extra love this year by adding to her gardening collection, her cooking collection or her growing clothes collection! We’ve picked out some gifts that we’ve got our eyes on to show your appreciation for those special women in your lives this year.

A Cathclaire Favorite: The Statement Blazer

While Cath is off celebrating her birthday early with a little R&R in Miami with her hubby Kev, I’m just sitting here constantly perusing the internet for some fun summer purchases. Cath is the queen of a good statement piece, and this gold jacket and her iconic hat are two great examples! A good blazer can be a great piece for laying in the spring/summer months for chilly nights etc so I’ve rounded up some blazers and other fun statement accessories that are worth investing in this summer.  (more…)

Shop the ShopBop Spring Sale!

We’ve still got two days left in the Spring ShopBop sale and its safe to say we have filled up our carts more than once over the past few days!! This is a great time to shop for designer pieces that you wouldn’t normally splurge on, because, well, 20% off! Here are a few of our favorite pieces from the sale, including some denim and handbags you should consider investing in.

In the market for a new bag? Use the ShopBop Sale for a new investment piece! 20% off up to $500 and 25% off $500 or more is a deal you don’t wanna miss! Having a great bag is often the icing on the cake when it comes to making a fabulous look. Here are some of our faves >>

And last but not least, one of our favorite mottos: invest in denim!! The right pair of jeans can last you YEARS. Honestly, I think I’m still wearing most of the pairs that I invested in during college today.  Good denim is definitely worth the pricetag.

From star workout leggings (a TCP favorite) to mesh tops, there is a style for everyone to revamp their workout gear in the best way. 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.

What better time to invest in some new workout clothes than when they weather starts warming up and the days start getting longer? I don’t know about you but new workout clothes always put more pep in my  step and give me more motivation to get to the gym or to go on that run. What are you looking forward to as the weather warms up? We hope to see some of you around town in RVA! xo

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!
