You haven’t lived if you haven’t seen Central Park in the Fall. It’s my favorite place in Manhattan. Once the leaves have changed color and the hot chocolate in my hand is warm…well good luck getting me out of there. I could stay for hours and hours reading a book, pondering life with Wyatt and strolling the paths on foot or on a bike. There’s no better way to do Central Park in the fall than being cozy in a vibrant and patterned cardigan. I decided to transform this stunning cardigan into a dress and cinched with a belt. I love the way it turned out.

Rainy Days

Posted on October 24, 2016 by karissaestrada

How do you spend your rainy days?

I love everything even more on a rainy New York day. I love that I can be melancholy and I would be blending in. I love that I wouldn’t have to feel guilty about wanting to stay in bed, watch Gilmore Girls and sip on my hot chocolate all day long. That’s exactly what I do on a rainy day. Nothing. Sometimes I feel so bad about not wanting to do anything or to be with anyone when my mood matches the sky but I’ve discovered that it’s healthy to feed my depression to a certain degree. It’s okay to let my soul recharge and rest. It’s good to lose myself in a movie or a book or even a dream. The world is tough and I feel safe in my home, cuddling with my puppy and my husband. I’m sure this funk that I’m in will pass, it usually does but I’m taking every advantage of this fall weather to…. Just be.

Depressed or not, everyone deserves a break from everyday life.

An Autumn Story

Posted on October 13, 2016 by karissaestrada

Rich magentas and deep olive greens go hand in hand to create the perfect Autumn story. We shot these pictures after a freezing rainstorm in New York City that we thought would never end. Once the sun finally came out, we were relieved to see the sky again. It was the perfect sunset moment that we had to capture. I’m in love with the way theses photos turned out regardless of the hard hitting wind and cold temperatures. It helps to have a hottie husband behind the camera.

Bomber Season

Posted on October 10, 2016 by karissaestrada

It’s bomber season y’all. The leaves are changing, the temperature is plummeting and it’s time to focus on those layering pieces that keep you chic and warm. I’ve recently been loving this puffy bomber trend going around. Not that I need more jackets in my wardrobe but I’m happy to participate nonetheless. I love the fierceness of this jacket that holds just a touch girly-ness. It gives a little BOOM-POW to girly girl in all of us!

I’ve Got A Crush

I’ve got a crush, a crush on crushed velvet that is.

Sometimes it can be tough keeping up with trends, staying on top of what’s hot and what’s not but this crushed velvet trend won’t be too hard to find because it’s absolutely everywhere at the moment. This Fall 2016 trend is taking over and not leaving anytime soon. Heavy textures and rich colors will transform your closet this season. Go ahead and hop on this bandwagon because you won’t regret it.
