Black and white pieces are always a safe bet when it comes to getting the most out of your closet. I love the way this ASOS sweater makes a statement while being so wearable with a neutral color palette. You guys are really into sweaters this year (just like us!) because every time Rebecca and I post one – you go crazy for the links. That being said, we figured that we would show off some more of our favorites for you during these warm weather months!
If you are in the market for a good sweater, check out ASOS. They have plenty to choose from and not to mention – this black and white checkered beauty!
xo,
I cannot believe today is Reb’s 30th birthday and that we get to share it with you guys on The Crystal Press! Birthdays and holidays always have a way of making one feel nostalgic…. In fact, it feels like just the other day we were dreaming up The Crystal Press over a bottle of wine, while being our reckless twenty-something selves. Fast forward years later, and here we are at Reb’s milestone birthday and sharing it with YOU! Reb got married a couple of years ago at The Homestead and today she is headed there to get some serious R + R before her big party for her 3-0 (see the wedding photos 
The ultimate fall fashion statement piece: the black panama hat. Where has this black hat been all my life? For the amount of time it has saved me getting ready (you know, doing my hair and what not), I could just kiss it! I wear this hat all the time and love the statement it makes with minimal effort. I have rounded up some hats for you guys that are great styles and price points >>
Here we go again, wearing black + white pieces in the middle of the summer! While we have been experimenting with patterns and prints this summer, we also like to stay true to our roots. We’ve said it again and again, but we just can’t help gravitating toward neutral tones, denim and simplicity. Shop a few of our favorite pieces here >> 
I have come to the conclusion that one of my “talents” (aka favorite past times) is the mere act of celebrating and I will use just about any excuse to do so. I am a lover of dance floors, birthdays, New Years, Halloween, and well… all holidays. That being said, yesterday was my birthday (May the Fourth be with you, too) and I quickly realized that everyone around me is hugely talented in the celebrating department as well. From my friends and family near and far, to ya’lls sweet messages, my fiancè, Reb, and Buddha the maltipoo – yesterday was surreal and that is just the beginning of, what I know will be, one of the best years of my life.
