Low Key Style
This post was sponsored by Target, all opinions are our own
When you find fashion too demanding for your busy schedule, how do you do low key style? No, we don’t mean laying on your couch in your pajamas, we mean something that is comfortable but still expresses your personal style. Don’t get us wrong, it’s tempting to lay around in pajamas all day in the cold winter months, but, with New Year’s Resolutions calling our names and work in full swing – us busy ladies don’t have that luxury. That being said, fashion can get a little time intensive, so it is helpful to be reminded of some styles that can easily transition to multiple activities, especially within a busy schedule. Combat your lay-in-bed-itis with these comfy yet stylish outfit options and don’t let this cold weather slow you down! Whether it is transitioning from work to a night on the town or from the gym to a date night, these multi-purpose pieces are a savior in a busy woman’s life!

Wishlist Wednesday: Powerball Lottery Style
If this wish list is any indication, its all too easy to be completely impractical when it comes to making a wish list for the day that you win the lottery. If you haven’t ever made a wish list for the day you win the lottery, we suggest that you do for two reasons: is great fun and what better time to make a lottery wish list than when the jackpot has risen into the billions? Yes, you read that right: BILLIONS. Here are a couple of things we would invest in if we hit those winning numbers:
Veuve Clicquot Rosè Flute Set / Hermes Birkin / Yeezy Boost / Elizabeth and James Feather Dress / 100 Baies Diptyque Candles / Aquazarra Forever Marilyn Heels / Lovers and Friends Denim / Louis Vuitton Blanket / Purse Pom Pom (similar here)

The Crystal Press #ThankfulThurs
In 2016, one of our main New Year’s Resolutions is to be more t h a n k f u l. Every year we say it, but we don’t a c t u a l l y do enough about it. We’re not just talking about “thanks for holding the door open,” we’re thinking more along the lines of “thank you for the family of TCP followers who make our daily life more fun + purposeful everyday” kind of thankful. Sorry for getting all Just Bieber on you with the purpose (+sorry) talk, but it’s true – we’re so thankful for all of you and there are so many reasons w h y ! Really getting into the WHY of what makes you feel gratitude is so powerful and this is where you guys come in!
To remind us to be more thankful in 2016, Rebecca and I are asking for you help. We’d love to hear stories about what each and every one of you are thankful for in your life. Every Thursday, use the hashtag #thankfulthurs on social media or if you need more space (go you!) submit a full blogpost to thecrystalpress@gmail.com to be featured.
To start off #thankfulthurs, we wanted to shout out to two of our favorite people in the whole entire world: our sisters. You two make our world go round in so many ways and you have no idea how much we love you Christina + Caroline! Keep being the sparkly rays of sunshine that you are to us and so many others 🙂 xx
