Hello and welcome to Crush by K (formerly Into the Wardrobe)! My name is Amber Krystya (pronounced Kris-tee-ya) and I live in Boston, MA. Prior to moving here, I lived in California, Florida, Virginia, and New Jersey. All of these spaces shaped both who I am and my personal style. Although I have many hopes and dreams for this blog, current content focuses primarily on fashion, with the occasional home decor or beauty share. Posts range from the current color crush capsule, advice on how to wear the newest seasonal trend, where to buy affordable but quality pieces (complete with personal reviews), holiday wardrobe inspiration and pieces I’m currently coveting. I hope you enjoy following along! Please subscribe, comment often and share even more! You can also follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.
