Little White Dress

This summer heats calls for a summer mini dress.

I’ve only been comfortable in dresses as of lately. They’re really the only thing that this heat calls for. I love to remain minimal and just let the dress do all of the talking. I’ll throw in a bright clutch here and there but for the most part, it’s summer and less is more! My all time favorite feature of this dress are the tassels on the shoulder. LOVE!

Since cutting my hair I’ve stayed away from everything that’s too bulky on my shoulder area because it makes me feel disproportioned. Too avoid feeling like this I’ve been connecting more with sleeveless, halter and mock neck shaped tops. I’ve sadly stayed away from my blazers and favorite boxy silhouettes. Hey, we all have insecurities and mine just happens to be that I don’t want my body to feel bigger and oddly disproportioned to my head okay!

With Love,

Just Peachy

Posted on June 27, 2016 by karissaestrada

Oh hello. Here’s my short hair debut on my blog. Everything is just peachy. My new short hair and everything else in life are going just great. I’ve been wanting to chop off my hair for awhile. I wanted something summer-y and fresh so one day I just did it and never turned back. Sure, there’s been just a few moments that I’ve missed my long hair but guess what…It’s just hair and it will grow back. Wyatt absolutely LOVES my hair this way. He wants me to rock it for the rest of my life. Such a sweetheart. I love this length and I’m really excited for it to grow into a longer bob. That length is my favorite.

With love,

I am speechless so I’ll let the pictures do all the talking. I will say though that this day will forever be my favorite day. Being a wife is so special and I could not have asked for a better husband or what I like to call him- Husby.

Also, thank you to all of the people that made this day possible: Our officiant, wedding coordinator, florist, photographer, the beauty crew, friends, family but more importantly my mom and dad. They were so involved from the very beginning, helping me make this day like a dream every step of the way. They are the most supportive and loving people that I know.

Wyatt and are loving married life. We love calling each other husband and wife in public and love flaunting our wedding rings. We’ve never been happier and are so excited for what our future holds. High school sweethearts forever.

With Love,

The Morning Of The Big Day

April 22nd on a perfect Pasadena day. 75 degrees and sunny with no cloud in sight. All of us girls slept in until 9-ish. It was slow morning, drinking Starbucks in our hotel room and giggling about the big day ahead of us. I woke up in a panic with my nerves completely out of control. I was shaky and nauseous: I was a mess. I don’t even remember what exactly I was worried about. Maybe the thought that this day was all about Wyatt and I or maybe it was walking down the aisle with all eyes on me. Not for second did I second guess Wyatt though. I knew for sure that he was the man that I wanted to marry. Thinking that gave me comfort…along with a little Rosé.

We headed straight towards the venue to get ready. We messed around for half an hour or so, dancing, laughing and SnapChatting until the beauty crew showed and it then it was time for business. In a small room, with teal colored walls and windows on every corner we got prettied up listening to Ashlyn’s playlist and drinking a little more to calm our nerves.

I had a moment in between the “Where’s the bobby pins?” and “Can I borrow your lipstick?” to just grasp what exactly was happening. All of these girls, some I met in middle school, others oversea and one way back in elementary school, were all here for me. These sweet girls packed their suitcases and flew from wherever they were to California just to stand by my side when I say “I Do.” I am so lucky to have met them and was grateful that they were there with me.

I love you Ashlyn, Hannah, Autumn, Nicolette and McKala. Forever grateful for you.

Getting ready for the big day was only half the fun. The next post I’ll show you my favorite ceremony pictures that forever changed my life. Stay tuned.

Romper Under $25 #2 (Target Series)

Posted on June 13, 2016 by karissaestrada

Hello fashion friends! We are back at it again with my favorite affordable rompers in collaboration with Target. I wanted to show you that you can have a great summer wardrobe with fun texture and pattern for less. Today’s style is inspired by the bohemian girl in all of us. The fringe, fedora and floral print says it all, not to mention the statement boots. As far as comfort goes, this romper takes the cake. It feels like pajamas in the best way and the coolest part about it is that you can throw this on and get out in there in sunshine, no hassle! What’s not to love about that.

Target, you’ve done it again.

With Love,
