Company Culture

If all Crossroads-ees like getting dressed up, then our Capitol Hill team probably take the cake when it comes to getting decked out and stealing the show! Even in the day leading up to New Year’s Eve, Saturday staff members wiggled into some shimmer and kept the cheer going through the store all day long. Naturally, they looked unbelievably cute while doing so.

Here at Crossroads, it’s no secret that we love a good party. Throwing them and attending them, we love getting to dressed to the nines and dancing until the am. That’s why our holiday parties are always such a ball – we don’t need an excuse to throw them! Check out these shots from our LA district holiday party. Then be sure to join our team before the next one for a very exclusive invite!

On Sunday we glammed up, partied down, and ate some delicious Indian food before hitting the floor for Bollywood dance lessons. I could tell you how much fun we had, but a picture is worth a thousand words and we have lots of them! Many thanks to Adriana from our Oakland store for taking these photos.

Yesterday we enjoyed an evening with some of your favorite fashion bloggers at the glamourous Palihouse in West Hollywood. The Two Point Oh! LA Snowball was a huge success and we were honored to be a part of it. It was a pleasure meeting you sparkle-clad ladies and lads! If you missed it, check out these behind the scenes photos taken by our team.

What’s better than shopping? Shopping with your friends, of course. Shopping and drinks? Now that’s a combo we can all agree on.

We had such a ball with all of you who made it out to our Bay Area Customer Appreciation Party yesterday evening! Thank you to everyone who attended, and a big thanks to our blogger friends Jennie, Jackie, Krystal, Rebecca, and Meghan who styled mannequins for our outfit competition. If you missed the party, sign up for our mailing list and be first to know about our upcoming events. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

I had been gushing over our Capitol Hill store’s break room so much that the store manager, Kristina, was nice enough to send me a few pictures of it. The entire staff loves their pets (and other cute things) so much, they decided to cover the walls with pictures of them. If that isn’t adorable, I don’t know what is!

Thanks to everyone who made it out to our winter fashion show at Evanston Crossroads yesterday! The show was a huge hit and we had a wonderful time with all of you. Many thanks to Stitch Magazine for blogging the event and even providing models, Salon Lotus for beautiful hair and makeup, and Whole Foods for providing refreshments and snacks to all of our attendees. Hope you had as much fun as we did!

I love Halloween. We dress up, we eat candy, we pretend to be someone else for a day…or, if you’re like me, the whole weekend. Really, what’s not to like?

Our teams from around the country got dressed up and showed their alter egos. Which is your favorite?

Smarties, Reese’s, Tootsie Rolls and Red Vines – no, it’s not our leftovers from Halloween, but an afternoon spent snacking designing gingerbread house-inspired outfits. Last week, our team of managers came from across the country to the Bay Area for a 2-day meeting where we learned a lot, but also had a ton of fun. We challenged our teams to create outfits with piles of candy and a few black basics. The results? Balmain, Missoni, and a lot of laughs. Miss you guys already!

Last week, we celebrated our 20th birthday with you. Around the country, all of our locations celebrated with birthday cake and hourly gift certificate raffles, and some of us dressed in 90s garb to commemorate the era we come from. Thanks to everyone who joined us for our party!
