*warning:semi-sappy post ahead* Today marks John & my first wedding anniversary and the year has seriously flown by. Our first year was full of so many new and fun adventures, including, as most of you know by now, buying a house! (See above photo for my exact feelings on the subject). We decided to turn the whole weekend into a mini celebration here in Richmond, since we weren’t able to make it back up to The Homestead.
Our favorite picks from the Nordstrom Sale just keep rolling in! The pre-fall pieces have us loving shirt dresses, maroon and army green. Some of these are such a steal! Don’t miss the boat. We also have been known to pamper ourselves from time to time (aka all the time). There are some stellar beauty product deals going on right now that you don’t want to miss either!

I hope everyone had the best holiday weekend! I spent mine celebrating one of my best friends at her bachelorette party. A bunch of fabulous girls from NYC, Maryland, and Charlotte gathered in RVA for a fun-filled bachelorette weekend and I have to say, I had so much fun showing off all that this city has to offer! I wore these culottes so much over the course of the weekend, but it was so hard not to with all of the compliments I got on them (Zara does it again) and how COMFY they are! (more…)
Last summer, I told you guys that I was beginning my adventure with the Marie Kondo method – aka trying to clean up my living space. It is almost a year later and I can tell you that the adventure is just that, an long adventure, but I am finally moving into the phase that involves changing up my art! I had so much fun scouring the minted website filling up my cart with way too many things, narrowing it down, then filling it up again. The decision between which prints was harder than I anticipated because minted is flooded with so many talented, independent artists but the process was so enjoyable!
It’s hard to believe that we launched The Crystal Press over a year ago, and until now I’ve never mentioned how I came to be a fashion blogger. A bug in my ear by a major designer led to to a brainstorm session with Cath years later, and it’s a great feeling to finally be doing something that I feel so passionate about. Let me tell y’all how it all got started. (more…)
Collaboration Supported by Marks and Spencer & Shopping Links but all opinions remain my own.
I’m sure all of you fashion freaks (I say this term with so much endearment because Reb + I are both in this fashion freak category) are well aware of Marks and Spencer collaboration with the style queen, Alexa Chung. She debuted it at London Fashion week and had everyone anxious to get their hands on it. With a few sell outs between then and now, Reb and I were excited to work with Marks and Spencer and check out Alexa’s collaboration and their summer collection. We both snagged pieces from the Archive by Alexa collection and the customer satisfaction on our end is off the charts. (more…)
