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

My Favorite Four Letter Word.

Posted on September 11, 2014 by karissaestrada

L.O.V.E. is written on my TopShop midi skirt, big and bold. black and white…but thats not the only place I wish to wear it. I planned on this post being just a simple outfit of the day post but my “love” skirt got me thinking about the actual four letter word and how I want to live my life not only surrounded by that word, but constantly giving that word away. I want that random person that I walk past, who is having a bad day, to know that I love them, in the most un-awkward way of course. Everyone deserves love. I want that old friend from my hometown to know that even though we don’t talk as much… I still love her. And most of all, I not only want people to see me, but to see love when they see me. Does that make sense? I want people to know that I have a GIANT heart and if I don’t give my love to others, I will explode. I’m working on saying “I love you” more and I think we should ALL start doing that. Tomorrow isn’t promised so why not let people you care about know that you love them. ELL-OH-VEE–EEE Say it more, do it more, and your life will be complete.

Also, I know its almost time to put away the sandals and crop tops but I’m not ready to make that commitment. All I see are people wearing sweaters and leggings with boots and it’s driving me ca-razy! I’m trying to wear all my summer favorites before its really too late. Before you know it I’ll be wearing my dark lipstick and favorite Target booties don’t you worry. I have good news, I’m finally getting over that random cold that I got a few days ago. I’ve had nothing but hot tea, soup and lots of rest. Can’t wait to be back to normal and have my energy back. Slob-ka-bob Karissa is no fun, no fun at all.

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
