Yankee Girl

Posted on May 29, 2016 by karissaestrada

Our Yankees VS. Rockies tickets are purchased and ready to enjoy. We are anxiously waiting for June 14th to arrive because we absolutely love baseball but more importantly, LOVE the Yankees. I’ll admit, I only enjoy socializing at baseball games and eating the overly greasy foods than actually watching the game but whatever, I’m still a Yankee girl. The last time we watched The Yankees we were in NYC for my birthday, nearly 10 months ago. We can’t wait! I plan on rocking this vintage style baseball hat along with something minimal for the game, pretty similar to this outfit post. I always have to bring along my trusty converse of course because we like to walk around the stadium beforehand and pre-game a little if you know what I mean. I don’t typically wear baseball hats because I’ve always told myself that I look hideous in them. I thought that about lipstick once upon a time but then I gave it a try and look at me now. I can’t live without it. That’s the thing about finding your personal style, you have to TRY new things. I took a risk and purchased this hat and now I’m hooked. I’ll be rocking them all summer long.

Jumpsuit livin’ is the way to be. When you’re on the go, being the busy bee that you are, sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is put on a jumpsuit. I always find myself reaching for a jumpsuit when I’m in a hurry, in fact, I’m wearing one right now. I absolutely love the versatility that comes with rocking a jumpsuit, not to mention all styling options like: Statement prints, classic solids and sophisticated structures. I love this head-to-toe print that screams confidence and POWER! Not to mention the tapered pant that provides extreme comfort. Guys, I’m telling you, if you haven’t already jumped on the jumpsuit train you need to. It’s the best thing to have ever happened to my wardrobe. I always know that I can count on jumpsuit when I’m in a fashion rut.

Sorry for the short post! Homegirl is exhausted and is ready for bed. Talk to you guys soon!

A Timeless Dress

Posted on May 22, 2016 by karissaestrada

Hello my lovely readers,

I’m going to show you my all time favorite empowering quotes to get your through whatever trials you are going through and remember that there IS someone out there that believes in you, your beauty and your feelings. I believe in you. Let’s empower each other more! Let’s stop poisoning people with our negativity. The world needs more positive people…let’s be one of those people together.

Here’s just a few of my favorite empowering quotes.

“How would your life be different if you stopped allowing other people to dilute or poison your day with their words or opinions? Let today be the day you stand strong in truth of your beauty and journey through your day without attachment to the validation of others.”

“A little hatred can be empowering.”

“People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear and ignorance. And while they seem to be quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.”

Let’s put all the serious-ness to rest for a little and talk about something fun- FASHION. I absolutely adore this dress. I know I say this a lot but I really mean it this time, this dress (Maeve Cirque Swing Dress) is one of my all time favorites. I love the design, the structure and the way it makes me feel so beautiful and free. It’s timeless, weightless and perfect in every way. I have to stop the urge to wear it every single day of my life.

With love,

Mustard Please

Posted on May 18, 2016 by karissaestrada

Ironically enough, I not a fan of mustard. I’ve never been. There’s something about it’s odd sour taste that leaves me reaching for some ketchup or even ranch. That icky condiment makes me cringe but oh man, oh man do I love wearing it. Mustard yellow has forever been my favorite color. I’m pretty sure since the beginning of time actually. I’ve been told I’m lucky enough to sport this color. It’s something to do with my skin tone and hair color but heck, I would wear it regardless. I love being that ray of sunshine, that hint of happiness that you can spot in a big crowd. There’s something so satisfying being the odd one out and being bold in a sea of ordinary. A hair trend that I’ve picked up on lately, and one that I’ve secretly loved forever, are the two “Princess Leia” buns on my head. Again, it gives me a weird sense of confidence because I know that no one else will be sporting it. Believe it or not, I get loads of compliments when I wear them out and about. I’m sure they’re probably thinking in their heads, “Oh this poor girl” but that doesn’t bother me.

I was told once that I use my sense of fashion and outfitting skills to hide the fact that I’m actually very insecure inside. To some level they were correct but honestly, I see nothing wrong in finding something that you absolutely love, something that makes you feel so vibrant and alive and using that to somehow give you the extra set of confidence that you might lack. I don’t see anything wrong with being insecure, quiet, and introverted on the inside while portraying the exact opposite on the outside. Hey, if something takes you out of the box you create around yourself and makes you feel alive and free then I say YOU GO GIRL!

Except if that thing is drugs. Don’t do drugs.

Sunday Stripes

Posted on May 15, 2016 by karissaestrada

Oh Target. Why do you have to be so good? Every time Wyatt and I go on a Target run I always stumble upon some great buys that are impossible to resist. I found this striped tee on our latest endeavor to Target while on the phone with my Maid of Honor. At the moment I decided on this black and white print but now that I’m thinking about it, I might have to go back and stock up on a few more. Why? Why do I need more basic tee’s added to my wardrobe? Because they’re just $6, that’s why. I spend more on a Chipotle burrito. I believe this is the “Mossimo” brand that makes up the majority of Target’s inventory. I love this brand personally. The material of this top is incredibly soft and comfy.

I wanted to rock this tee but I wanted to do so in a chic street style manner. So… I threw on my new distressed midi skirt and stopped by my local Whole Foods, bought these bouquet of roses for myself and went on with my day. I just love the contrast of the roses and my lipstick against this grey background. The striped tee neutralizes everything while bringing some pattern along with it. Not to mention that my current read, “Me Before You” matches this set up perfectly. This was all accidental by the way.

I’m just about halfway done with my book and I’m in love so far. I love fiction books based on romance and adventure. I really love that the movie for it comes out soon. My plan is to finish it before the movie premiers and watch it on it’s opening day! The book is ALWAYS better than the movie but it’s still so amazing to see the book that you’ve read for weeks come to life right before your eyes. If you’re looking for something to read and you’re a bit of a romantic, you need this book.

With Love,
