Just Peachy

Posted on June 27, 2016 by karissaestrada

Oh hello. Here’s my short hair debut on my blog. Everything is just peachy. My new short hair and everything else in life are going just great. I’ve been wanting to chop off my hair for awhile. I wanted something summer-y and fresh so one day I just did it and never turned back. Sure, there’s been just a few moments that I’ve missed my long hair but guess what…It’s just hair and it will grow back. Wyatt absolutely LOVES my hair this way. He wants me to rock it for the rest of my life. Such a sweetheart. I love this length and I’m really excited for it to grow into a longer bob. That length is my favorite.

Romper Under $25 #2 (Target Series)

Posted on June 13, 2016 by karissaestrada

Hello fashion friends! We are back at it again with my favorite affordable rompers in collaboration with Target. I wanted to show you that you can have a great summer wardrobe with fun texture and pattern for less. Today’s style is inspired by the bohemian girl in all of us. The fringe, fedora and floral print says it all, not to mention the statement boots. As far as comfort goes, this romper takes the cake. It feels like pajamas in the best way and the coolest part about it is that you can throw this on and get out in there in sunshine, no hassle! What’s not to love about that.

Target, you’ve done it again.

With Love,

Sunflower Summer

Posted on June 9, 2016 by karissaestrada

It hit me just the other day that it’s officially Summer. This whole time I thought we were still in Spring, my second favorite season of the year but summer, oh summer takes the cake. I was born in the summer heat so there’s something about this time of the year that makes me happier than normal. This could also be the extra Vitamin D intake but you get the point. What I love the most about summer is not just fact that the days are little longer or that there’s so much more room for activities but that everything seems possible. You can be anyone you want, you can do anything you want. It feels like freedom doesn’t it? This time of the year is seriously the best. I love a little sunflower too. Sunflowers are on my Top 5 favorite flowers list. My home has flowers in every room because that’s what summer does to you.

Summer also makes you want to buy every maxi dress in the entire universe because why not. They provide so much comfort that you just want everyone to know what it feels like to put on a maxi dress and walk around feeling absolutely amazing. This maxi dress in particular was a hard one to catch. Within just a couple of days, this dress sold out in every size company wide. I placed a backorder order and it arrived TWO months later. Two months! I’ve been impatiently waiting for this beauty, this layered cream beauty to come into the mail. I absolutely love it for any occasion. It’s very easy to wear in a casual setting as well as a dressy one.

Okay, I’ve done a lot of talking. See you guys next time.

With Love,

Burnt

Posted on June 6, 2016 by karissaestrada

Burnt is the color of this dress but also the state of my being. In other words: Girl, I’m burnt out. I always do this to myself. I go go go until I end up sleeping for 3 days straight not remembering what planet I’m on. I get decent sleep but rest? None. I need ME time. I’m the type of person that needs to be alone with just my thoughts and maybe even a journal. I like going on walks by myself or taking coconut baths. These little things recharge me and make me feel alive again. My brain has been going a mile a minute with work related things, family things, friend things, wifey things that I’ve forgotten the key thing: Me. I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be alone. I’ve been constantly surrounded by friends, family, and Wyatt. Don’t get me wrong, I love it. I love being surrounded with love and laughter but sometimes it’s just nice to be in the midst of my own company. Just me, myself and I. To take a step back from all of the buzz, the conversation and hoopla and just…breathe. I don’t know when I’ll get the chance to do just that but I’m eagerly waiting. I want to curl up somewhere in the sunshine with a good book and some good thoughts.

Recharge. Reset. Repeat.

Perfectly Victorian

Posted on June 2, 2016 by karissaestrada

Perfectly perfect in every way. This effortlessly shaped dress is the definition of perfection. This dress, embroidered with a hint of crochet trim, reminds me of a dress that I had when I was a little girl. My great grandma made it for me from scratch and I wore it proud on my 5th birthday. It’s amazing to me what a simple stitch or silhouette does to your senses. I feel calm, beautiful and powerful in a stunning dress like this one. Especially when it reminds me of my childhood and how far I’ve come.

Hold on tight to the things that bring out the inner child in you.

Shapeless dresses have and always been my kind of thing. The more maternity looking, the better. There’s such a stigma if what you’re wearing is “too flow-y” or “like a tent.” Women automatically think that they look pregnant. I don’t know about you but when I see someone in a gorgeous swing dress, I’m not thinking maternity, I’m thinking DAMN GIRL! WERK! The more flow-y the better in my book. I strive for comfort more than anything and a dress like this provides that and so much more.

Be confident: Wear a babydoll dress.
