Roan if You Want to

Roan (noun): A realm of color, pattern, and texture that is never the same, never dulls, and has unlimited possibility.

Richmond peeps, have you been to Roan in Carytown? If you haven't, you need to get there. From one of a kind dresses for a special occasion to the perfect outfit for a drink at Can Can with friends, this boutique has got you covered. The eye for impeccable style and design that Hank, the owner/buyer, has is out of this world. As if the shopping experience that Hank and his team have created at Roan isn't enough, do you see this Roksanda dress I am wearing? Hank picked it out for me! I am an all-black-everything kinda girl and this dress fulfills my all-black needs with just the right amount of white peaking from the back of it.

If there is the best time to be in fashion for a blogger duo like The Crystal Press, I would have to say it is Spring/Summer fashion week in September when the weather is just right in NYC. Rebecca and I are still learning the ropes of this enchanting time of year but, boy, what we have learned so far has fulfilled dreams we've had ever since we were little girls. Before I go any further, let me just say we wouldn't have been able to go on this trip without your support so thanks for following along with our adventures from the very beginning. Yes, that was a shout out to all of the TCP + Cathclaire OG's

Speaking of TCP OG's, here is another post courtesy of J+D Photography and Roan. This Tibi skirt was made to be lived in and if you feel the same way, be sure to email info@roanshop.com to get one for yourself! The team at Roan will hook you up. And as always, if you need wedding, boudoir, or general amazing photography- contact Jada and David at J + D Photography for photos that will never, ever disappoint. 

Fashion week is exhausting but that's about as far as the complaints go because let's face it, there is something so invigorating about trading your daily routine for fashion runways and events full of the most inspiring people in the industry. Why yes, I did walk up to Morgan Stewart at the Charlotte Tilbury Samsung event and profess my obsession with her. A little forward, yes, but sometimes you have to go full #fangirl and see what the Universe throws back. In this case, it was a delightful conversation with someone I wanted to talk to for years and worth every bit of possible embarrassment. Reb and I will have a full NYFW round up in the next couple posts, so stay tuned but until then I just wanted to say thank you from the both of us! We are so appreciative of your support!

PS Let us know if you have specific questions you want us to answer in our NYFW roundup by emailing us at thecrystalpress@gmail.com!
