Same girl.

Posted on September 19, 2014 by karissaestrada

I love getting emails and comments from all of you saying you enjoy reading my posts just as much as you enjoy looking at the pictures. I’ve never ever EVER thought of myself as a good writer. I write what I feel, whether it’s witty or honest, I’m strictly being me. Thank you, all 1,170 of you, thank you for allowing me to be myself on here and for loving the non-writer that I am. I will never be one for big words or a large vocabulary. I’m not here to fake it. I’m a dummy when it comes to writing and I think I’ll stick to that. I could never come to MY BLOG and act like someone else. That’s a big no no. I respect other bloggers and just people in general who stay true to themselves. Why be someone else when being you is so much better? I can always assure you that the things I write on here, comes from my own brain and more importantly, my own heart. Always remember that the girl you’re reading is the same girl that’s typing. 100%.

Love you all and again, thank you.

Xoxo,

Karissa

Bonjour.

Posted on September 16, 2014 by karissaestrada

I hopped on the mustard yellow train a long time ago and I don’t plan on getting off. The mustard color section in my closet continues to grow and grow. I will always fall head over heels for this beautiful color when Autumn comes around. Can we talk about this beret hat though? IN LOVE! I’ve been eyeing it at Anthropologie forever. I don’t own anything like it and I don’t know why. I’m so in love with the way it makes me feel. I like to believe I’m in France when I wear it. It’s a bummer I don’t speak french…or any foreign language for that matter. I’ve also been loving the drop waist/peplum skirt trend. It’s unique and I adore it. I hope this post inspires you to get a beret hat or even a rhinestone top because this outfit made me feel awesome and I want every one to feel this way when they get ready in the morning and have that feeling last throughout their day. We’re all beautiful the way we are but fashion is the best way to express ourselves without having to say a single word. What does your outfit tell the world? My outfit says, “I’m happy! Bonjour!”

Xoxo,

Karissa

Casual Neon

Posted on September 7, 2014 by karissaestrada

I’m currently in bed surrounded by kleenex and medicine because go me… I’m sick. Luckily as of now its just a head cold but a pounding one at that. I ALWAYS ALWAYS get a cold when the weather is about to change so I shouldn’t be too surprised. I wish I could lay in bed all day on this lovely Sunday and blog about something quirky but I just don’t have the energy for it or the time because homegirl has to go to work. Gotta work through the pain to pay for those expensive outfits if you know what I mean. Here’s a simple, bright outfit that is tied together by a classic denim jacket. A denim jacket will never go out of style so if you’re considering buying one…JUST DO IT. You’ll never go a day without reaching for it. Trust me. Well that’s all for today my friends. Go take your vitamins so you don’t end up miserable like me.

XOXO,

Karissa

Starbucks Date with Rachel Zoe

Posted on September 3, 2014 by karissaestrada

When I go to Starbucks I order one of two drinks, and two drinks only. It’s either

-Peach Green Tea Lemonade

-Decaf Pumpkin Spice Latte

I don’t care about anything else in life. Judge me. Excuse my overly fall appropriate outfit in this post by the way. It’s a little too fall appropriate if you ask me. I’m honestly NOT ready for the colder weather. NOT ONE BIT. I feel like Denver didn’t have a good summer, it rained most days so it’s safe to say I’m little bummed that it’s already September. I’m a summer kind of girl.

I have to announce that THEE Rachel Zoe (my one and only career idol of all time) not only favorited a picture on my Instagram (@karissamariie) but also favorited a tweet from me (@misskaymarie3) I FEEL THE LOVE. This post is dedicated to her because I just absolutely adore her. She’s everything I hope to become when it comes to fashion. I have big dreams to be involved in the fashion industry because of her. So I went to Starbuck and read her newest book, as one does, and enjoyed every second of it. Rachel Zoe, I love you.

Xoxo,

Karissa

Need a Pick Me Up?

Posted on September 2, 2014 by karissaestrada

From the peachy blush down to my Zara high heels, I am 100% a girly girl. I enjoy dressing up in extreme feminine pieces from time to time. Don’t get me wrong, I have a few tom boy pieces in my closet as well, but the first day of September called for this white long skirt and grey tank from Anthropologie. I wasn’t going to argue.

This skirt never fails me by the way. Every time I wear it, I feel so pretty. No shame in that either. Need a pick me up? Put on a pair of shoes, earrings, favorite white tee, skinny jeans that make your behind look like J.LO’s…WHATEVER YOU NEED, to remind yourself that you are beautiful. Because girlfriend, you are. Never doubt that. But also know that you’re a 10 in those sweat pants and your hair in ponytail. I got your back even when you’re eyebrows aren’t done.

Tip of the Day: Love yourself & Dress Up.

XOXO,

Karissa Marie
