And just like that, we are twinning again!

Can you believe it has almost been two years since our first Twinning in Gucci tights post? We sure can’t. But then again, 2020 was practically a wash so it really feels like just a year ago. Even if Cath was 9 months pregnant, haha!

We decided to bring back the twinning vibe and pair our old fave Gucci tights with some Amazon dresses for a recent studio shoot. The contrast of the designer tights with the affordable dresses felt like a fun idea and we gotta say, we love how they turned out. The contrast is fun, not to mention, we love sharing affordable options with you guys.

RESTOCK ALERT: FREE PEOPLE MARINA DRESS

free people marina dress

This Free People Marina Dress was by far one of my best sellers last year and I am thrilled that they restocked it this summer!

no, you aren’t seeing things, there isn’t a baby bump here, these photos are from last summer and just never made into a full blog post ( just a lil web story ). 

This mini dress is such a fun piece to have in your closet for literally any occasion this spring or summer! It comes in 5 colors and has the most fun open-back / tie design. It won’t break the bank, coming in well under $100, and trust me, you will be reaching for it for lunch with the girls, baby showers, date night and everything in between.

Hot Pink: Spring’s “IT” Color

hot pink the crystal press

Catherine has been on the hot pink train for months now and it is time I got on board! 

HOT PINK IS IN.  Like, on the runway in.  Valentino did a monochromatic hot pink collection for Fall 2022 Ready to Wear and everyone on instagram went wild.  Now that we are getting out and about again, it feels much more fun to get dressed up with fun and funky colors and to take some risky risks. Be EXTRA, ya know?

We both decided to bring our pink pants to our latest shoot and we had such fun with these photos! And of course, Cath came out w the hot pink in our photos last August and they are some of my favorites of all time.  It just POPS. And it definitely looks good with a tan, so it is time to buy into the trend and do some shopping.  We are 🙂 I have rounded up some pieces from some of our favorite retailers at a variety of price points so there is something for everyone!

It is a little late, but we didn’t forget our faux fur coats post this year! And this year, we are including more outerwear than just Faux Fur. We love our shearling / sherpa coats and our big puffers as well. So, if you need to add some warm outerwear to your closet this year, here are a bunch of great options!

Whether you are still prioritizing outdoor socially distant gatherings this winter, have a trip planned somewhere snowy or your current coats have seen better days, we *think* we have found something for everyone.

Chic & Cozy LBD For Winter

It has been a while since we posted a regular OOTD, but this outfit felt like it warranted its own blog post, it is that good.

the crystal press winter fashion

Helloooo, good old outfit post! It has been too long.

We fell out of the routine of posting outfit photos on here, because we thought that might be limiting. Over the past few years we have been doing more “round-up” style posts. AKA Black dresses for winter. The Best Cowboy Boots. Faux Fur Coats and Statement Outerwear. You know the drill.

But when I was going through the looks from my recent trip to Steamboat, I thought that this post would make for a good old piece by piece outfit post. It will of course include a round-up of faux fur coats within the post, because I’m me and I just can’t help myself. But, lets talk about the other parts of the ‘fit first.

Spotlight on: Lovers & Friends Joggers from REVOLVE

These sweatpants are worth the price tag, trust me.

revolve lovers and friends joggers

I consider myself something of a sweatpants connoisseur. 

If you take one look at my instagram, you will see.  I have been living in sweat suits over the past few years.  Stylish sweat suits, Mayfair Group Sweatsuits and fancy sweat suits but sweats nonetheless.

Like any non-millionaire shopper on REVOLVE (probably), I have been wondering if a $158 pair of sweatpants were worth it. I decided to take the plunge and try out these Pocket Joggers by Lovers and Friends and DANG, they are amazing.  I packed them for our post-Christmas trip to Highlands and wore them every single day.  Seriously.  I am also wearing them as I write this blog post.

Winter Must Have: Amazon Sweater Dresses

Here are some great sweater dresses from Amazon Fashion for you cozy up in this winter season.

TIS THE SEASON TO BE COZY

I recently jumped on the band wagon and started shopping on Amazon.  Specifically, I tried the Try Before You Buy feature to test out some of their sweater dresses.  I gotta say, I was so pleasantly surprised. Maybe even blown away! I figured Amazon stuff was cheapy and wouldn’t be soft or comfy. I was WRONG!



Here are four of the dresses that I 100% approve of from my Amazon order.  I am wearing a size small and am 5’4″ 120 for reference 🙂 These would all be great for your holiday parties and gatherings of any type! You could dress them up with heels and a blazer, or dress down with jeans and sneakers.

Why You Need A Shacket This Year

shirt jacket the crystal press

Shirt jackets or “Shackets” were allllll the rage last year, and I am happy to report that they are alive and well and all over your favorite retailers again this year! It took me a few failed purchases last year to finally find the right shacket (above), but once I did, I was fully in on the trend. I tried a few that were itchy, not flattering and too expensive. But if you find the *right* one, trust me, they are a great piece to have in your closet!

{Like I said in my shacket post from earlier this year} The great thing about the Shacket is that it is not quite as heavy as a coat, but it will keep ya warm and add a little extra dimension to your winter look. It is also light weight enough for continued use for the Spring, when it is just cool enough to need an extra layer. I am literally wearing one as I write this, inside, and it doesn’t feel bulky or *too much.*

White Boots for All Seasons

Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. You can see us wearing white boots all year round.

*this post was written in October 2020, but has been updated with recent picks for the season.

As I sit down to write this I am thinking * have I already written this blog post? *

This isn’t the first time this thought has crossed my mind and for good reason. While different styles and trends come and go each year, there are plenty of things that remain tried and true favorites for the both of us. Boots, and specifically white boots for the purpose of this list are staples in our closets year round! (See us both wearing different pairs of white boots earlier this year).

Catherine has been rocking the white boots for years now (see her initial post here), and they always take her looks to the next level. They catch your eye unlike any other style of shoe, if you ask me. Something about the white, when paired with darker leggings or tights, or with shorts can be super striking!

Must Have Fall Boots: Marc Fisher Padmia Chelsea Boot

every gal needs a lug sole chealsea boot for fall (or any season!)

the crystal press fashion blog

You guys know that Marc Fisher makes some of our very favorite shoes. From my signature white combat boots that have made frequent appearances over the years, to their cult classic espadrilles – they simply make the best.

When I saw this white pair on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale I knew I had to have them! My old faithful boots will still get a lot of play but the heel is a bit higher, and I needed something for more everyday wear.
