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

Oh So Delightful

Posted on July 8, 2015 by karissaestrada

I just need to mention how long my hair is right now! It didn’t grow fast by any means, heck it’s been almost a year since I chopped it off but I’m so pleased at the length that’s its at right now. It’s at that “fashion bob” stage and I think that’s where I like it best. I’ve done the short and the long version and this is by far the most maintainable and “me” cut. My hair has never been so full and healthy and I owe all that to my talented hairstylist, my mother. She takes such good care of my hair and never allows me to damaged it. Never will I ever go lighter again because it took literally years after I did the infamous ombré thing to my hair. I’ll stick with the chocolate brown hair-do for as long as possible. I would love to be a redhead tho. Maybe in a another lifetime right?

Okay enough about hair. Let’s talk fashion, I mean that’s why you’re here right? I actually don’t have much to say besides the fact that I’m absolutely obsessed with this off the shoulder top and I wish I could wear it every single day of my life. This outfit might just be my “go to” summer outfit when I’m just feeling fun and casual. I will definitely take this outfit to a Rockies game and fun backyard barbecue. Be prepared to see this top in the near future. I just love it so much because it’s oh so delightful.

The Confetti Dress

Posted on July 5, 2015 by karissaestrada

I call this my confetti dress because it looks like a party just threw up all over it. The very moment I laid my eyes on this dress I knew I had found my summer love. The muted pastel polka dots creates such a “I love summer” kind of vibe without being too overwhelming. This is that kind of dress where people will continue to stop, stare and swoon even if you feel like it’s magic has worn off. I, unfortunately, feel like an outfit loses it’s purpose after one go around. Sometimes, I cannot wear an outfit twice, (well I can but I choose not to) because I believe it loses some sort of “magic” that it holds only once or twice of wear. It sounds very foolish but being a fashion blogger, I’m always looking for more. What’s new? What’s in-style? Another positive about being the fashion lover that I am is finding more and more ways to sustain that magic for as long possible. My favorite thing to do, when I’m bored, is reinvent my wardrobe. I love taking oldies but goodies and making them feel like new by adding a trendy piece. That’s a fashionista’s biggest secret. You will see this dress again, in a different form I’m sure. I love wearing things more than twice as long as I make it unique every single time, whether I change up an accessory or shoe, the magic will never stop.
