On Friday, we shared our love for our hometown, Richmond, VA with you which is a large part of who we are as The Crystal Press. Today, I’m gonna tell you a little bit more, that you may or may not already know about us and our mission. Sure, we love, love, love fashion. But that is not the only thing that we want to share with our readers. I could go on and on about how these converse are my go-to shoes when my feet just can’t with heels or about how ever girl needs a classic blazer in the closest. However, I wanted to spotlight another aspect of TCP with this post. (more…)
A Love Letter to Richmond, Virginia
Have you ever had a dreamy idea that lasted for about a millisecond before your mind came up with a trillion roadblocks preventing you from ever starting? This is the story of what is now “The Crystal Press.” Although we (Rebecca + Catherine) have been enamored with fashion since we could read and have been messing around with blogs for over a decade, our pesky minds kept us following through with anything consistently. It wasn’t until our post-college move back to RVA that the two of us were inspired to follow one of our so-called dreamy ideas and we give this beautiful city all of the credit. We know we are not alone in the inspiration and sense of community that we are constantly receiving for our little idea, because, well, that is just how Richmond does. It cultivates our creativity and even surprises us at times, when we turn a corner and find a beautiful new space to explore.
