Spotlight On: One Teaspoon

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.

Two Ways to Style INSPR-d by Tezza Blouse

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!

Spotlight On: Hair Accessories

Who else is having a flashback to childhood seeing all of these awesome hair clips out there right now?!

I first noticed when Sincerely Jules came out with her collaboration with Scunci, avail at Target, that pins and clips were making a come back! I am notoriously bad about “doing my hair” so personally, I am loving this trend because it helps me do something interesting with my long locks instead of just throwing my hair into a bun! I ordered some pearl clips off of Amazon and TBH you get what you pay for, because I bought like 10 for $20 and they did not hold my hair very well. So, I liked a few more quality clips for you guys, if you want to jump on the trend! I also plan on ordering a few sets from the Sincerely Jules collection, to take me back in time to my ballet days with bobby pins galore.

Cathclaire Picks: Affordable White Boots For Spring

Regardless of the fashion season, I love me a good white boot. From booties to tall boots, choosing to go with white in these shoe styles can elevate something as simple as a comfy black dress.

Throughout the winter months, I wore RAYE the Label patent white boots with just about anything (see photo above.) Now that warmer weather is starting to show it’s face (SO HAPPY!), I wanted to upgrade my white boot game and give my RAYE’s a break. I was a little hesitant about ordering these Public Desire slouch knee white boots from ASOS but I am in love with them, especially for the affordable price point. In terms of sizing, I usually wear a 6.5 and ordered a size 7.

These boots are comfortable, a super soft material, and did it exactly what I wanted them to do: took a super comfy LBD to the next level.

What are your feelings on the white boot trend? If you are into it – I have rounded up my favorite white boots for Spring for you below! Let me know what else you guys need help with for the new season !! XO

Spring Layering in Austin, TX

SALE ALERT!

This dress is currently on sale for $20!! TODAY ONLY!!

When John and I were in Austin, the weather wasn’t exaaaaaactly what we had imagined.  When we booked our trip we were thinking we would be escaping to sunny Texas from cold Virginia, but we were oh so wrong!! The weather was exactly like at home, and every single person we talked to said “you know it’s never this cold here!”  I even had to postpone my shoot with Divina, because we didn’t think that being out in the 30 degree weather would be fun for either of us. Luckily, it warmed up by our shoot on Wednesday but I was definitely glad that I packed layers!

Step Out In A Spring Suit

So excited to share some of my looks from Austin with you guys!! I had so much fun with Divina bopping around near the Austin Motel in order to get some iconic shots from the eclectic Texas city.  When I was shopping for this trip, I decided to step a little out of my comfort zone with this white striped suit. I honestly have never worn a “suit” before, and usually struggle to make blazers work, but when I put this one on I fell in love.  (more…)

Black Basics Every Girl Needs

When I posted this look on instagram, during my time at The Homestead, I called attention to the graphic tee and asked if anyone knew what l’avenir meant in French without googling it.  A graphic tee is a great conversation starter (and caption topic) because it clearly stands out and is the featured part of this look.  So often, we have statement pieces that become the focus of our looks – whether it’s Cath in her big hat or a sequin dress, or the both of us in a gorg faux fur coat. We tend to gloss over the basics, because they are staples that we tend to reach for on the daily.  SO, let’s not do that this time. Let’s talk about two pieces that every girl needs to have in their closet.  (more…)

Feminine Maxi Dresses for Any Season

I have to admit that when it comes to choosing dresses for any occasion, I tend to gravitate towards simple, neutral pieces.  It gives me room to add my personality with shoes and accessories, but sometimes even I surprise myself!  When I was looking for dresses to bring to The Homestead to celebrate John’s birthday, I scoured my favorite go-to sites like ASOS and Free People for the perfect option.  My closet is full of black sheaths, maxis and slip dresses but I am admittedly tired of those for the time being! I found this lilac dalmation printed dress on ASOS, and I can’t really pinpoint why it struck my eye, but I felt so feminine and flowyyyy dancing through the halls of my favorite resort all night (and the next day!)  (more…)

High Fashion Logo T-Shirts

It is no secret that I love a good tee, especially a designer one that I can wear over and over without the thought of outfit repeating creeping into my mind. Since I’ve gotten my Gucci t-shirt, I have worn it a million times over. (See the first time I wore it on the cathclaire.com here) It’s just where I am at in my closet’s life. Sure, I am manifesting 100 Gucci, Saint Laurent – you name it designer t-shirts… but for now, my collection is limited and I shall wear them repeatedly unabashedly. Who else is with me?

That being said, investing in a designer t-shirt was a great addition to my wardrobe. Cost per wear is beyond reasonable and if you follow me on Instagram stories, I’m sure you see how often I wear this Gucci shirt specifically. If you don’t follow us on Instagram stories, just take my word for it or start following me..lol Our Instagram handle is @thecrystalpress

I have rounded up some of the best high fashion logo tees out there for you from Net-a-Porter. So, if you are in the mood to upgrade your t-shirt collection, look no further than this blogpost.

I Am Trying, I Am Winning

We are two weeks into 2019 and we are still riding high on the energy from the new year! We have set some pretty lofty aspirations for the coming year and are looking forward to seeing how things pan out.  Ever since the creation of TCP, I have loved having a creative outlet to share my style tips, outfits, travels and dreams with you guys, but it hasn’t always been an easy ride.  Keeping up with a blog and two instagram accounts, along with a full-time job, a marriage and well LIFE, has not always been easy.  At times it has felt more like a chore and less like a passion, and this year one of my goals is to create only when I feel inspired and/or excited about a product, piece or brand.
