Girls Night Out

Posted on March 28, 2015 by karissaestrada

Hello There Friends!

This is the first of many posts featuring some fabulous clothing items from Tobi.com. Today’s post is all about this “Bound To You” wrap style top. I wanted to style this top in a very “Girls Night Out” kind of way while still keeping it casual by adding some slouchy faux-leather bottoms. The cut-outs in this top reveal just enough without being too overboard. Not for one second did I feel insecure just because of the placements of the small but statement cutouts. I’m not one to show a lot of skin but I thought this top was appropriate enough for a fun girls night out on the town. I love this monochromatic trend that’s happening right now. I also really love it with a pop of red lip and a gold accessory because I just can’t live without color on a Friday night. Tobi.com is a great place for on-trend simple clothing. I really think a lot of my girlfriends from back home will adore this site. IF YOU SIGN UP FOR THEIR EMAIL LIST YOU GET 50% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER! Check them out |here|

Since Spring has arrived and summer is just around the corner it’s time to start taking the layers off and revealing our sun-kissed skin. I’ve really embraced the porcelain look this winter and I’m almost sad to say goodbye but I look forward to getting a little extra Vitamin D on the those sweet sunshine days. I’m not yet in the tanning mood but I’ll hang out by the pool once in awhile. I’m gonna taking tanning this year nice and slow. I’m in no rush at all to get darker so just bare with me and my white girl complexion.

| Sole Serum |

Posted on March 26, 2015 by karissaestrada

Day in and day out I get asked how I’m able to wear heels all day long. To be honest, I’m like most women and I do get foot pain. I’m just able to sacrifice my comfort so I can wear my favorite heels. Heels make me feel beautiful. It may sound silly but they not only elevate every single look you wear, but they bring confidence that a normal flat couldn’t, just couldn’t. No matter the amount of blisters, red marks, and band-aids I still would much rather opt for heels. Those painful days are over ladies! I would hate for other women to not feel the way I do in heels because of their discomfort, so here’s my secret.

Let me introduce you to Sole Serum– “A serum that targets foot pain relief. With the power of lidocaine and a soothing combination of natural oils and extracts, Sole Serum takes away your daily aches and pains. Just simply apply a small amount when you start feel discomfort. Your feet will be free of pain for up to two hours per use. Whether you’re standing on your feet all day, running errands, or simply making your way through the work day, foot pain can occur in even the most comfortable and sensible shoes. Sole Serum is the perfect solution, with its blend of natural and active ingredients to safely relieve foot pain for up to two hours per use. The power of lidocaine not only blocks the foot’s pain signals from reaching the brain, but also helps to reduce inflammation. It also includes natural ingredients to help soothe your skin and leave your feet feeling refreshed. Your feet will thank you!” Click | here | to read more about their philosophy.

But here’s my philosophy: Wear whatever makes you feel beautiful because life is WAY too short to not to.

The Blue Team

Posted on March 24, 2015 by karissaestrada

It’s official. I’m on the blue team now. I’m so happy that more and more clothing companies are hopping on this Indigo trend because it’s just more for me to buy. I WANT IT ALL. I’ve always been a huge fan of the color blue but now that it’s available everywhere I’ve just been soaking it up more. I almost don’t want to leave the house without the color blue somewhere on my outfit. I need help. Again, this is just another phase in my style life. Everyone goes through them. I was school shopping one year and all I bought were dresses. Nothing but dress. No jeans, no tees. Halfway into the school year I was like, “Okay, I’m so sick of this.” But I always do this to myself. I jump into every fashion adventure with my whole heart. I really dive deep and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Because in the end, I’m left with great memories and some cute clothes that are mostly timeless. I now have plenty of denim in my closet to last me a lifetime. I really feel like one of the guys. Uh oh, here I go dropping the word menswear but whatever. My brothers would really love this new “not so girly” side of me that I’ve recently discovered. I love my skirts, my blouses, my heels but it’s nice not having to dress up completely in head to girly-ness. It’s nice throwing my hair back and putting on some denim overalls. P.s. I have been on the search for some fabulous overalls for the longest time. I’m so thrilled to have finally found a nice light wash pair. All that’s left to do is discover a dark wash but until then I’ll be rockin’ this one.

Spring Bohemian

Posted on March 18, 2015 by karissaestrada

As most of you know, I’m not one to check the weather. I know should probably start at some point but as of now I’ll take the risk. Even though I’d like to think that I have complete control over the weather and can wear whatever I want, that’s simply not the truth, but I will compromise from time to time. The weather in Denver is either a hit or miss. Thank goodness our weekends are filled with sunshine and warm weather but the weekdays have been miserable. It snowed today and no one warned me! The weather may be frustrating but choosing your outfit doesn’t have to be. My heart has been dying for Spring to arrive so I can get out my brights again but the weather tells me no. I decided to take the reigns on this one and pair my favorite bright joggers with my favorite sweater. (It’s technically a poncho but whatever) Two seasons in one. Adding brights and colorful lipstick to a typical fall outfit is my favorite and bulletproof way to conquer the gloomy day blues. People think that transitioning between seasons is complicated but I find it challenging and fun. It’s the perfect time of the year to get creative with layering. Pullovers are at their peak during spring and fall because of their ability to easily transform to your needs. You’re cold? Throw a sweater on. You’re hot? Wrap the sweater around your waist for a more laid back vibe. Pullover 101 my friends. It’s the easiest trick in the book. This “poncho” is my favorite “go to” cold weather essential. The scalloped hem detail is what caught my eye from the very start. It’s one of my favorite bohemian-like pieces in my closet! Shop my outfit below.

Black & Gold

Posted on March 14, 2015 by karissaestrada

I can’t remember how early I woke up on this day. It was a whole lot earlier than what I’m used to that’s for sure. On days when I am truly exhausted and to be honest, not in the best mood, I wear all black. An all black outfit is my way of telling the world that “I’m not my normal happy self, just ignore me please.” I usually sport an all black outfit when I need to get things done and don’t feel like looking approachable. Like, seriously, ignore me. If you can’t tell already, I wasn’t wearing ANY makeup in this post besides some red lipstick. I’ve been rocking this “no makeup” look a ton lately. I’m going through a weird phase where I actually hate makeup. Less is much much more to me nowadays. I also threw on some bold sunglasses to hide the lack of sleep instead of putting on concealer. If ya know me, you know that I love gold accents. I think I even have a past blog post that’s titled ‘gold accents.’ I’m not too sure. Anyways I was so thrilled to rock these gold heels and my gold purse. My two favorites in one little post.

As you can tell this outfit is pretty basic but it still has its bold factor which is what I absolutely love in a day to day look. Go ahead and wear your all black ensemble and rock it when you do but don’t rock it every single day. It would be a shame to be unapproachable all the time. Looking like a ninja isn’t a bad thing, trust me, but being colorful and vibrant isn’t either!

Take a dip into both worlds. It’s fun!
