Easy, Breezy, Beautiful…Kimono

Posted on June 11, 2015 by karissaestrada

I figured this statement, yet comfortable, outfit would be the perfect one to wear on my first day of my big girl job. I’m feeling all sorts of blessed and hopeful for the future and what better way to express that than this smile on my face and a fabulous kimono on my back, right? Why haven’t I hopped on the kimono train earlier? Maybe it’s because I haven’t found the perfect one, until now. This gold splattered kimono makes me feel like some enchanted fairy when I put it on. Beware my friends, kimonos are a powerful thing. To be honest, and don’t tell anyone I told you this, but they make you feel like Superwoman. It’s a like a fashion cape!

I decided to keep this look minimal and moveable with my favorite pair of jeans and a white button up. You can throw a kimono on almost anything, like a dress. I plan on wearing this fashion cape on those bonfire kind of nights with a few of my best friends. (If that ever happens.) And if not, I think it will do just fine cuddled up with me on the couch watching my favorite t.v. shows.

Blah, Blah, Blah

The rain doesn’t want to stop but neither will I. I refuse to let the weather determine my outfits so I decided to throw in my favorite J.Crew umbrella to protect me from this lousy weather. This umbrella isn’t the only statement piece in this outfit post. I really think this flounce sleeve top and patched jeans are really the ones that catch people’s attention. I cannot express to you enough how much I love this simple combo. I wore this to a Rockies game with Wyatt and threw on a leather jacket because it was an evening game. People would stop me, asking me where I got my ‘over the top’ distressed jeans. I think every girl needs a pair because they really make outfitting so much fun. I love that laid back girly kind of look and I’ve been rocking it non stop so far this summer.

By the way, can you believe it’s already summer? I’ve been happier than normal and I think it’s because it’s finally my favorite time of the year. I’m a summer baby so I was born to love the sunshine. I just want to be outside all the time and I’m not an outdoorsy person. I think when the weather is amazing, you really just fall in love with everything all over again.

It’s so good to be alive.

A fashionista is nothing without her statement heels and her statement heels are nothing without healthy, strong feet. I am all about foot care because my poor feet get the worst of it. My job requires me to stand, run, walk in heels 8 hours a day. I want to make sure my prized possessions (my shoes) are still a big part of my daily life so that means taking good care of my feet.

I’ve had the opportunity to try out many foot care products and many of them are great but not exactly what I’m looking for. When Solemates reached out to me, I had reached a point where I thought I would never find the right products to soothe and heal by tired feet. After trying out the products I can honestly say that my feet feel 10x fresher and stronger.

Freshen

♥ One of my favorite products from the SoleMates collection would be their baby powder scented spray that eliminates all bacteria inside your shoes while keeping them smelling like new! It also prevents sweaty feet and who doesn’t want that?

Blister Blocker

♥Their Blister Blocker Anti-Friction balm is a very important product to me and I refuse to leave the house without it nowadays. This balm prevents friction which also prevents those red, painful blisters we all hate. It glides on smoothly without leaving a greasy residue which is a plus.

Buff

♥This sponge is the perfect match for those shoes that have had too much love over the years. This magical tool is self explanatory and it’s a must have for you fashionistas like me.

Protect

♥ There is nothing worse than banged up shoes and accessories. Let’s protect those that we love the most with some leather protecter spray. It works on leather, suede, and even fabric. Take care of those hard earned shoes why don’t ya.

High Heeler

♥ Okay. This last, but certainly not least, product is so cool and handy. This summer I’m sure you will attend at least one wedding or barbecue. One of which is bound to be on grass and there is no way I’m sacrificing looking cute in heels. You can now leave those flats at home because this product actually keeps your heels from falling deep into the grass. No more embarrassing walks down the isle that’s for sure.

If you’re a high heel kind of gal and want to start taking care of not only your shoes but your feet as well, I really do recommend investing in some great foot care products. Behind every fashionista are great products that keep her going.

SoleMates is the answer!

This Outfit Is Delicious

Posted on June 3, 2015 by karissaestrada

Hello my loves, I’m writing to you at midnight and I have a very busy day tomorrow so I’m going to make this short and sweet. This isn’t like me to be a busy bee but I feel like I haven’t stopped to breathe for a long time. I had such an amazing weekend because my parents came to visit. We ate out a lot and just enjoyed each others company. Another reason why this past weekend was one for the books was because my boyfriend/photographer, Wyatt, entered into a mens physique competition here in Denver and he won First place! Yes! First place. After weeks and weeks of preparing for this competition, eating nothing but chicken and asparagus, sacrificing sweets and going out, I could not be more proud of him for succeeding. He deserved it and I can’t wait for Nationals!

I shouldn’t take all the credit for this outfit because it was definitely inspired by “The Showroom” blog. I have to give credit where credit is due. She is one of my fashion blogger icons at the moment. I saw this fun food printed top on her and just had to buy it because I love the way she styled them with these brick colored shorts. I just adore this fun and daring outfit.

Okay, I don’t think I’m making a whole lot of sense. I’m so tired, I can’t even type. I’m going to watch Netflix until I fall asleep. Until next time my friends.

With love,

B Is For Blouse

Posted on May 29, 2015 by karissaestrada

B is for best blouse ever. Bulky, boxy, blouse-y, you know name it, I want to wear it. I’ve always been a fan of shapeless pieces. I love oversized blouses and dresses more than the average girl should. I think what I love about this blouse in particular is the femininity it brings to any outfit. The relaxed butterfly sleeves make me feel like such a girl but completely relaxed all at the same time. Nothing is better than that in my opinion. I really wanted to dress up this light blue beauty to the max to show you what it’s capable of and what colors look best with this shade of blue. I plan on wearing it with many other bottoms besides this statement tulle skirt. My staple black skinny jeans or my current favorite bow-tie shorts are great candidates as well. The possibilities are nearly endless.
