What We’re Wearing to Taylor Swift Reputation Tour

THE WEEK HAS FINALLY COME! Ever since we missed out on the 1989 Tour, we vowed that we wouldn’t miss Taylor Swift’s next tour.  Luckily, my sister helped us snag some tickets during the Pre-Sale and we will be Atlanta Bound this weekend to see the Reputation Stadium Tour.  To say that we are excited is an understatement.

For weeks, we have been talking about what we are going to wear.   Do we do the twinning thing? Do we recreate the two album magazine tour looks? Do we just wear Taylor gear? This has been a serious back and forth.  Finally, last week, we decided to do a little bit of all of it.  Catherine found this ‘Gorgeous’ tee on ASOS, and I purchased the sweatshirt from her Merch shop and created a look that is an ode to her Gucci Sweatshirt / OTK Boots look from the Look What You Made Me Do video.  Cath added the sequin skirt as the perfect statement piece to top off her look.

Who else has caught the Reputation Stadium Tour this summer? No spoilers – but – how was it!? Anyone going to be at the show in Atlanta this weekend? Drop a note in the comments!

10 Must Haves from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale with The Crystal Press

It is that time of year again, and although we truly feel like we have time traveled through this year (this summer especially) due to how fast it has been flying by, one of the reasons we are not complaining about this time traveling is bc the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is HERE! We have been reading about (and anticipating) this sale for days and days and we have fairly picked what is the best of the best for this Anniversary Sale for our faves, YOU!

nordstrom anniversary sale picks

We personally look forward to splurging on things like beauty products, handbags, and shoes when this Nordstrom sale rolls around because that is where we find ourselves paying full price more often than not. You know, your favorite perfume to a trusty pair of black boots to last you all year that you look for regardless of a sale? That is what we are talking about. Who doesn’t love a good deal on things that you are going to purchase anyway? NOT US.

PS – We know each and everyone of you is unique and alas, different strokes for different folks – so we totally understand if none of these sale items resonate with you. BUT, we can’t let you leave this blogpost without knowing that the T3 blowdryer is on sale during the Nordstrom Anny and it is one of our absolute favorite hair tools!

happy shopping!

Mom Jeans for Any Season

I have had the hardest time finding a pair of mom jeans that not only fit me, but are flattering on me. I swear it is just as hard as finding the perfect shade of blonde for your skin tone! (see my post on where to get your blonde hair done in Richmond on The Crystal Press here.) I have short legs and curves so mom jeans have been a trend I have been TRYING to make happen for cathclaire + the crystal press fam but failing miserably. They either make my legs look stumpy or my hips look too large etc etc. The other day I found a pair from ASOS and I decided to give them jeans a try. My trick for ordering online in a time crunch? Order two clothing sizes that you think you are closest to. I ordered the 27 and 28 in these jeans and ended up going with the 27. Did I mention that I love them?

I know the vintage style mom jeans are traditionally a thick, truer denim but these have a little bit more give in them that I appreciate. You know, a little stretch. These ASOS jeans are more comfortable for me to wear than a truer denim and if I am being completely honest, I’d even wear them on a plane. And I hate wearing jeans on planes. Like, loathe.

I have been enjoying styling these mom jeans in different ways! Stay tuned for these blues to show up more in outfits here on The Crystal Press. What are your favorite mom jeans and why?

Black and White Striped Dresses for Summer

the crystal press fashion blog Ever since planning my wedding last year (see the wedding photos here), it is as if stripes have taken over my life. From decorating our home with stripes (a big carpet, accent pillows, you name it) to wearing them every chance I get here on The Crystal Press, I have stripe fever and this Revolve House of Harlow dress is no exception. I love a summer dress that is breathable with lots of movement for those extra hot days that getting dressed is unfathomable. Throw on a pair of statement earrings and your favorite hat (okay, maybe the hat thing is just me..) and you have an outfit in no-time. Whether you are packing for a summer vacation or brunching in Richmond with friends – summer dresses are stylish and getting ready time-savers to get you out the door sooner rather than later 🙂

Where to Get Your Blonde Hair Done in Richmond, VA

hair salons richmond va fashion blogAs a blogger, it is my job to try out different hair salons around Richmond, VA to tell my peeps (you guys!) reviews about where to go and which hair stylist to see so you can have a great experience at your own hair appointment. TBH: I get my hair done ALOT.  While I do get my hair done in other cities depending what zip code I am in or what photoshoots I have where, I get my hair done in Richmond most often. Lately I have been noticing that aside from the usual fashion questions, I have been getting questions about my platinum blonde hair so I wanted to start with addressing where to get your hair done in RVA.

A Red Hat OOTD

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.

Comfortable Outfit for a Four Seasons Miami Getaway

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

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY CATHCLAIRE

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

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

A Cathclaire Favorite: The Statement Blazer

While Cath is off celebrating her birthday early with a little R&R in Miami with her hubby Kev, I’m just sitting here constantly perusing the internet for some fun summer purchases. Cath is the queen of a good statement piece, and this gold jacket and her iconic hat are two great examples! A good blazer can be a great piece for laying in the spring/summer months for chilly nights etc so I’ve rounded up some blazers and other fun statement accessories that are worth investing in this summer.  (more…)
