John and I have been wine club members at Blenheim for years now. Actually, I may have even been a wine club member before we met, so that means I’m going on 5 years now, and wow, the progress I’ve seen throughout the years is amazing. From my first late fall trip to the winery, it was love at first site. Upon entering the tasting room with the vast ceilings and wooden beams, I felt right at home! Then I tasted the wine, and the rest is history.
Who else is OVERLY excited for the long weekend?! And even better news is there are some GREAT sales going on right now! I’ve rounded up some pieces from the Nordstrom + Net-A-Porter Sales with price ranges for everyone’s bank accounts.
Nordstrom is having their half yearly sale, running now through June 3rd and SO many great things are up to 40% off!

Looking for a way to style your favorite hat? A blogpost on how to style a red hat is on The Crystal Press for you hat lovers!
If it seems like I have had a hat attached to my head since last summer, it is because I have. Ever since my fateful trip to Las Vegas, it is as if I can’t leave the house without a hat on or without a hat in hand “just-in-case.” If I am being completely honest, there is one black French Connection Hat that I have been wearing NONSTOP and I’m sure you guys have noticed. My husband is constantly scoffing at it, telling me that I need to take a lint roller to it – just about every time I wear it. I DO CLEAN IT but I wear it so often, that it is almost impossible to keep it lint-free no matter what I do.
WELP, just as I suspected, we completely skipped spring here in RVA, folks. We went from 50/60 degree days to a sweltering 90 in a matter of days. Virginia weather is always so unpredicatable! ANYWHO. John and I have been doing some major work around our house, and I have discovered a new obsession for plants. A few weekends ago, we went to Lowe’s to get some hanging ferns for the front porch, and ended up going back later that day to work on our potted plant game. So far, my roses are blooming beautifully, but the hydrangeas are looking TRAGIC. I think I’ve got a lot to learn.
Craving a quick and easy beach getaway from Richmond, Va that won’t involve a long flight? Look no further than the Four Seasons Miami. A quick flight to Fort Lauderdale and an uber ride will get you there in no time from Richmond!
If you saw my Instagram post on cathclaire the other day, you know that I had a serious Rebecca Bloomwood (from the Shopaholic series) moment the other day with these black and white plisse culottes. I put yet another pair of these pants from ASOS into my online shopping cart, not because the pair I already own were ruined, but because I miss them when they are getting cleaned! If that isn’t an indication of how much I love or how I wear these, then I don’t know what is.
I love these culottes and I have rocked them with nearly everything in my closet. From sweaters and adidas sneakers (see the blogpost here) to this cropped black top and Jeffrey Campbell heels, the options are truly endless with these black and white beauties! I loved that I could repurpose them for this birthday trip to Miami with my hubby. I wore this outfit on our second night there to the Miami Heat playoff game. I am in no way sporty spice but MAN did I have a great time at this basketball game. I have decided that it is my favorite live sport to watch.
If you are looking for a quick beach trip to take, I highly recommend traveling to Miami for a long weekend. I know I don’t have to tell you which hotel I recommend because you already know 🙂
xo, Cath
A couple weeks ago, I took John down to Athens, after years and years of promising I would do so! I went to UGA my first year of college and the town has had a special place in my heart ever since. I couldn’t wait to show John my favorite spots, and explore some new places with him. (more…)
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

Cheers to you, Cath and cheers to entering our 30s in style!!! LOVE YOU! xx Reb
Looking for a birthday gift for a fashion lover in your life? We’ve got you covered in today’s blogpost! 
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
