Things We Bought This Month and Loved

we wrote this blog post during quarantine last year, but the sentiment remains the same and we have updated it with current favorite picks.

Another thing that we learned in Quarantine is how to spend less, and on things we really want! As fashion bloggers, we are often buying things to try out so that we can spread the word to you guys about what we like and don’t like. We are also gifted products (usually beauty) to share with you as well. We try to share only things that we truly believe in, but often will link similar products as well.

Today, we are sharing a handful of things we purchased this month and really loved. These won’t break the bank and range from candles to earrings, to sunglasses and accessories. We are going to try and make these posts a regular thing here on the blog and hope you find them helpful and useful!

Comfortiva ShoesThe name says it all. These are truly the most comfortable shoes we own, now! Comfortiva is dedicated to making shoes that are not only stylish and good looking, but also truly comfortable. They have a variety of styles of boots, booties, wedges and sandals – something for everyone. Catherine chose the Cantara in Caramel and I love how she styled them with the all black look! I think I can speak for her when I say that this far into her pregnancy, all she really wants is comfort and these shoes bring it!

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.

Life Happens, Pizza Helps

Because we’ve all had that day where the only solution is pizza.

HAPPY MONDAY!!!

Striped Culottes with Need Supply

Is there anything better than striped culottes from Need Supply Co or a beach trip in October?

The Crystal Press had the pleasure of exploring The Crystal Coast last weekend in North Carolina and I have to say, that area is a true gem on the east coast! Rebecca and I will be sharing a travel blog post about everything we did while we were exploring Beaufort, Morehead City, and Atlantic Beach but for now, I had to share these culottes and this cool Aerosmith tee from Forever 21 with you all!

Unconventional Wedding Attire

Most of the weddings I have attended in recent years happened to be ones where I was a bridesmaid. This meant that my get-up was chosen for me, or in collaboration with the bride, and I did not have to worry about that decision in the least!  When my cousin Caitlin’s wedding rolled around last week, however, I was excited to try something new.  I found these amazing pants at Zara while Catherine and I were in New York and knew instantly that I had to do something really cool with them.  (more…)

Girl Talk

ASOS Skirt 6

There are quite a few things (aka one million) that need to be done in preparation before Fashion Week. So far, I’ve talked about one of my favorite fall trends that will make the trip with us, but there are SO many more factors that go into these bi-annual trips.  We are currently in the midst of planning for shows, parties, brand events, etc but to be honest, one of my most favorite things about the trip is the hotel sleepovers with Cath. In the morning and every night before bed we get to talk about the day, about our goals, about various other TCP goings on and also just have plain old girl talk. (more…)
