Shimma Shimma

Posted on September 27, 2016 by karissaestrada

With metallic being all the rage this season, there’s no need to save your flashy pieces for after dark. Bring your shimmer and shine out into the daylight for everyone to see. This reflective, multicolored top caught the attention of many. If you’re goal is to stop traffic, I think this trend is for you. Whether it’s silver or gold accents you prefer, you can count on rocking this trend all through the holiday season. It’s almost October ladies. Go get you some SHIMMA-SHIMMA!

Love & Pizza

Posted on September 21, 2016 by karissaestrada

Love and some delicious New York pizza is all you need. My t-shirt says it all. If I had just these two things for the rest of my life, I think I’d be okay.

If wearing galactic inspired pants scares you, just bring them back down to earth with a casual tee. It softens the look and balances things out. I rocked this look during fashion week but don’t put it past me to rock a similar look every day of the week. Moving to NYC has really opened my eyes to more and more fashion and street style inspiration. No one cares what you wear. Everyone has such an open mind here. Wearing silly space pants on a Sunday is no big deal. I love it.

My Vanity Fair Photo Shoot Story

Posted on September 12, 2016 by karissaestrada

Hello.

There’s something about a sweet floral dress. This one is unbelievably affordable AND comfortable, priced under $35 and ready for your next girls night, date night and even wedding! I first saw this dress on my favorite Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristow (Not that I watch the Bachelor or anything) on one of her latest Instagram posts. She wore this darling off the shoulder number to her friends wedding and right then and there I knew I had to have it. I love it all: The colors, the breathable fabric, the cold shoulder detail. IT’S JUST GOOD.

Let’s chit chat about my Vanity Fair photo shoot for a second shall we? Yes, you read that correctly. Let’s start from the beginning. It was the very first day of fashion week, Wyatt and I were in Chelsea on his lunch break, just doing our own photo shoot for my blog, minding our own business when this guy comes up to us asking to take photos of me for Vanity Fair magazine! He never mentioned what edition it will be or when it will be published but I’m assuming it will featured on their Fashion Week Recap that will hopefully be out soon! Keep an eye out!

One moment your shopping for flowers in a beautiful body-con dress and the next your doing a photo shoot with Vanity Fair. That’s NYC for you.

Color Block

As you’re reading this I am probably attending my very first New York Fashion Week fashion show. To be completely honest, I am going into this exciting and chic experience completely blind. I have no idea what to expect, what to do, and worst of all: WHAT TO WEAR. With all these mixed emotions about NYFW what stands out more than anything is how grateful I feel for this opportunity. You could say this was a dream of mine, to attend NYFW, and here we are. Finally.

I cannot wait to tell you more about NYFW once it’s over. I was invited to only a few shows this season, I think it’s all I can currently handle anyway but I’ll be sure to Snap and Instagram the entire time. With so much happening in my life at the moment (new job, new atmosphere) it all comes with growing pains: Uncertainty, strains in relationships, financial obligations etc. My brain is occupied to it’s absolute maximum capacity and I’m still deciding on whether or not that’s a good thing. When so much is going on, good or bad, I stick to what I know when it comes to keeping my look chic. I stay grounded with shift dresses. This one in particular is beyond comfortable while still remaining city chic.

Sheets To Streets

Posted on September 6, 2016 by karissaestrada

Who would have thought that going outside in your pajamas would be acceptable and fashion forward? Honey, it’s 2016. There’s no limits or restrictions anymore. Sheets to streets is all the rave nowadays. Don’t knock it until you try it. I’ve seen may takes on this trend, this lingerie-esque dress being one of them. It’s not technically lingerie but with it’s subtle lace inserts throughout and feminine floral design it could definitely be mistaken as actual lingerie. I can’t wait to explore this trend more deeply, possibly trying out a silky pajama top with distressed jeans or pajama-like rompers with some dressy heels. This sky is the limit!

Pajamas on the streets? Count me in!
