As girls that love a taste of the finer things in life, we are a sucker for a good steak dinner! We were so excited when Flemings Steakhouse (located at our local favorite mall Stony Point Fashion Park) invited us to try out a few of their current specials.
The ever revolving options offered with their Chef Table selections are innovative and excellent. We started off our meal with the Caprese salad and it did not disappoint! We also got a chance to try one of the burgers from their summer special (details below), and that definitely lived up to expectations as well. Talk about an amazing burger!
We love when we get the opportunity to partner with local places, spaces & businesses, so when Creek’s Edge at Stony Point contacted us about coming to check out their apartments, it was a no-brainer. We are Stony Point girls through and through. We will only see movies at Cinebistro. We love happy hour at Brio & are suckers for a steak dinner at Flemings Steakhouse. Not to mention, of course, Cath used to work at Saks. So, we had driven past Creek’s Edge Apartments countless times and were excited to check out what they have to offer.
Catherine has been on the One Teaspoon train for YEARS now! I remember how excited she got when she finally snagged the “Frankie” shorts a few years ago. Those shorts are still heavily in her rotation and she has added to her collection from the Australian brand extensively over the years! It is a brand that has stood the test of time & wear in her wardrobe, so when I was on the hunt for a new pair of denim shorts this summer, I went straight to One Teaspoon!
So far the shorts have been my go-to on the hot spring days & I have enjoyed playing around with different ways to style them! Catherine has been rocking the overall dress on the reg as well and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have my eye on a few other pieces to add to my wardrobe this summer. In addition to having quality pieces, we love the personality behind the brand. They are simply BADASS. Founder, Jamie Blakely, is focused on making quality pieces that she would want to wear, classifying their piecesas rebelliously cool, (and we’d have to agree). This post is totally not sponsored but we would definitely be open to a life-long partnership (hehe).
We’ve rounded up our favorite pieces from One Teaspoon right now for you guys & encourage you to spend a littttttle extra on your denim this summer because its definitely worth it. Looking for a piece to start your collection? We’d recommend their original style the “Bandit”.
Did we mention that they also make menswear, clothing for kids & home goods?? We wouldn’t steer you wrong, y’all.
After I saw Catherine post her favorite pieces from the INSPR x Tezza collection over on Cathclaire, I fell in love with this blouse! I immediately texted her and asked how the fit was, and if it was possible to wear it sans bra (something that is very important to me when adding pieces to my closet). I’m pretty sure she posted our conversation to Instastory because it was a classic reb / cath convo lolol. Anywho, she told me that it ran true to size but also that I could borrow hers. Obviously we share clothes more often than not, but I just knew this is a piece I was willing to invest in!
Coming in at under $60, with the perfectly over-sized fit, this lightweight blouse easily became a staple in both of our wardrobes! Obviously Tezza is an icon in the blogging world and it has been amazing to watch some of our idols coming out with creations of their own. Is this a path that we want to go down one day? Whooooo knows…….! Check out the full collection HERE; they just launched a few new pieces!
If you are like the two of us, we are endlessly searching for the perfect bra and undies. We are so excited to share the launch of a new company that we love : My Tell Tale!
We recently collaborated with Tell Tale on Instagram for the launch of their new bra and undies collection. When it comes to undergarment collaborations, things can get tricky because Reb and I are two different body types and styles. That said, we each got a set of bras from Tell Tale in our respective sizes and we LOVED them – so much that we are doing a blogpost about them too because you guys have to know about them! If you are looking for a comfortable yet stylish set of undergarments, give Tell Tale a try. They are a great price point and def going into our drawer as new faves!
They are available in colors for all skin types, meaning there is literally something for everyone. They are now available on SOMA, and we have to say they feel right at home with the cozy vibes of the brand.
If this picture gives you the travel bug like it does me, don’t forget to check out our travel page for all of the travel inspo!
Head to the My Tell Tale page on Soma Intimates to shop their awesome bras and undies. Trust us when we say that the 5 for $35 undies is a steal.
Every single post I’ve written in the past few weeks I have wanted to start with SPRING HAS SPRUNG! But really, it finally has.
It feels like each day is getting more beautiful than the rest, and we better enjoy it before the hot, humid, summer days in VA arrive. A few weekends ago, John and I traveled up to our favorite spot, Blenheim vineyards for a beautiful day of wine tasting and Blue Ridge Mountain Views. On Sunday, we bounced around town enjoying the weather, sitting at Byrd Park lake and taking advantage of things we often take for granted. Of course I made him snap some pix along the way 🙂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EVERYONE’S FAVORITE PLATINUM BLONDE:
CATHCLAIRE!
Each year, I learn more and more from Catherine both personally and professionally, on our blogging business adventure. This year, Catherine delved into the world of Human Design and taught me so much about myself, helping us to work together much better as a team! This past year we worked on some super fun projects together here on The Crystal Press, went to the Veuve Cliquot Polo Classic, saw Taylor Swift in Atlanta and had some serious laughs over countless glasses of wine. She keeps me on my toes when it comes to pop music and meditation (the classic combo) and always helps me out when it comes to hard decisions like where to go for happy hour or which pair of shoes to buy.
I have no doubt that this year has just as much if not more in store for us in all aspects of our business and our friendship. Cheers to many, many more years, Cath! Wish I was there to celebrate, but we will make up for it when I get home. I love yaaaaaa xx
