Culottes & Deleting My Blog

Posted on August 10, 2015 by karissaestrada

I’ve broken up with jeans and found a new love: Culottes. I love the fact that they are so trendy and fun but more importantly how comfortable and freeing they are. No matter how dressed up I get there’s always one thing that remains important to me and that’s being comfortable in my clothing. There’s nothing I love more than looking fancy and feeling great. Zara has been my one stop shop for all of those things. From business, to everyday, to glam, this store has it all to make a girl feel amazing. They also have mens and kids clothing which is even better. My entire outfit is from Zara. Since I’ve rocked Zara so much over the years, I’ve gotten so many people addicted to it. You’re welcome by the way.

I’ve have been s-t-r-u-g-g-l-i-n-g with typing up these blog posts. Heck, taking the pictures has been the most frustrating part of all. I’m not like most fashion bloggers who their entire job is blogging. Nope not me girlfriend. I have a full time job and responsibilities and don’t have the time or energy like I used to. I guess it’s all part of growing up. Today, for the very first time, I contemplated deleting my blog. I know I know, it’s shocking. I just feel really unsupported and overwhelmed. I feel like I’m the only person that wants this blog to remain successful and fun. I’m not going to name names but it seems like other people that are part of the production of my website, well, their hearts aren’t in it anymore and that’s the most difficult part. I’m not satisfied with the content and I’m just over being the only one that cares. Story of my life actually.

My rant is over. Enjoy your day.

Paris Is Always A Good Idea

Posted on August 2, 2015 by karissaestrada

There’s really nothing better than a new graphic white tee, a black leather jacket, and statement heels in August. Can you believe that it’s already August? We are finally in my favorite month in the entire year. I might be a little biased because it’s my birthday month. August may be a month to party but it’s also a month to start thinking of transitioning your outfitting for fall. I’ve been loving the deep browns, greens and reds lately and I think my fashion brain is getting a little too excited for the upcoming fall months. I wanted to stay bright and summer-y in this post because it is still technically summer but on the inside I’m just ready to bring out my burgundy lipstick.

Sorry for the short and sweet post. I’m off to a fun birthday/dance party and a girl’s gotta look fly. Talk to you all soon!

Minimal & Chic

Posted on July 30, 2015 by karissaestrada

I’ve been loving the minimal look as of late. There’s a combination of things as to why I’ve been rocking this simple look but most of it revolves around on not having the time to get too creative with my outfitting. Settling into my new home and my crazy busy schedule are the main contributors to my lack of focus and drive on fashion blogging. There’s nothing wrong in being a little busy bee. I promise to bring you new fabulous posts here and there once I’m feeling like I have everything under control. But until then, I’ll be wearing what I wear best: Minimal and Chic. This tunic has been the biggest life saver. I’ve ran to this moss colored beauty in times of need and it has never failed me. Just recently, I chose this exact outfit for a much needed date night with Wyatt, and don’t worry, I brought along my trusty black leather jacket to keep things looking spicy. Moss is the easiest color to pull off and combined with this Cloth & Stone fabric it’s a winner on so many levels.

Guess what. I caved and got a SnapChat. Add me: karissamariiee

Sweet Summer

Posted on July 25, 2015 by karissaestrada

Oh hello there. I’m sorry for being a little M.I.A but it’s all been for the good. I’ve had a lot on my plate the last couple of weeks with lots of fun life changing transitions: new job, moving, weekend getaways, family trips and planning the ultimate birthday vacation. Here I am, better late than never, with one of my favorite outfits this summer. The star of the show would be this multicolor, pleated skirt that goes with just about everything. I love this skirt more than words. I’ll be rocking it all year long for the rest of my life. It’s THAT wearable. It has easily become one of my favorite and most cherished pieces in my closet.

While I was moving into my new place, I made sure that the most important, most loved, and most valuable things were taken care of first. Surprise surprise, the first box that came through the door and the first to be unpacked would be my clothes. Ha! Hey, a fashion blogger has to take good care of her fashion…like duh. I didn’t even care about my dishes or furniture because I was too preoccupied with my clothes. I’m such a girl. After about two weeks of being in my new place, today was the first day with wifi and I cannot tell you how comforting it feels to be laying on my couch right now, laptop in my lap, Modern Family playing in the background, just writing to all of you. I’m in my happy place that is for sure.

I also did work a full work day today so I think it’s time for me to head to bed. Come back soon because I’ve boughten lots of new goodies the last couple of weeks that I’ve been M.I.A and I can’t wait to get those posts up.

Chevron Stripes & Denim

Posted on July 11, 2015 by karissaestrada

We all know the phenomenon that is chevron stripes. All of us own something chevron printed whether it be wallpaper, a blanket, or t-shirt: Everyone and their mother knows and loves chevron. I do have to admit that I wish chevron would just go away. It’s become cheesy and quite lame to be honest. I typically want to burn all things chevron printed but this weird and over dramatic sensation briefly went away when I saw this peachy, shiny top. I think it’s a classier chevron print because it’s so subtle, yet sparkles in the summer sun. I love the cut of this top but what I love more is the fact that it’s laced with reflective material. I really do appreciate a short top like this one paired with my fav high waisted denim on a casual night out with friends. I had to add my all time favorite accessories to complete the look as well!
