What’s trending you ask? All you need is a choker, a graphic tee, a spaghetti strap piece of clothing and a cute as can be puppy on your arm. I’m sure you’ve seen this trend all over your Instagram recently. I know I have so I decided to give it a whirl. Not gonna lie, I’m hooked. I never got into chokers, not even back when they were cool in 7th grade but I sure do love them now because they’re so simple and easy to pull off- right up my alley. I also have enough graphic tees to last me the rest of my life, stashed in the back of my wardrobe. I finally have a reason to pull them all out and develop new and excited outfits! That’s why I absolutely fashion. It’s all about evolvement-challenging you to recreate your old with the current, the new. YES.

In the end, whats currently trending is what I’m currently loving.

Give this fun trend a try!

Feeling 22

Posted on August 31, 2016 by karissaestrada

I had the sweetest birthday this year filled with love and yummy Nutella crepes. Let me break this fabulous day down for you.

10:00 A.M. – Coffee with Finley and a little Big Bang Theory.

11:00 A.M. – More Big Bang Theory while Finley takes a nap on my lap.

11:30 A.M. – Getting ready for the day while Wyatt runs his “errands.” (More like set up little surprises for me throughout the day.)

12:30 P.M. Drive to Manhattan Bridge. Can’t find parking so we walk about a mile to the bridge holding giant gold balloons. Everyone is staring.

1:00 P.M. – Finally get to the bridge. Took a moment to breathe in the beauty of it all and then took some BOMB pictures on the bridge. Everyone is staring.

1:20 P.M. After struggling to get a good photo with my “22” balloons we finally get THE PERFECT photo just in time before a biker accidentally snatched my balloons out of my hands and into the air. (There went $50.)

2:30 P.M. We make it back home after getting a $115 dollar parking ticket. We take a little nappie-nap and then get ready for the evening activities.

5:00 P.M. Get on the subway heading to our dinner reservation at 5:30.

5:30 P.M. We make it to La Piscine in Chelsea with the one of the best rooftop views of the city.

6:00 P.M. – My parents surprise me with the most bouquet of flowers at the restaurant. I only wished my parents came with the bouquet. I really missed them.

8:00 P.M After dinner and a little shopping in Chelsea, we obviously had to stop by one of my favorite crepe spots in the city, Golden Crepes. I ordered the Nutella and strawberry crepe and with that my birthday was complete. I could not have asked for a more perfect, relaxing birthday with my husband in our new city.

I look forward to all this year has to offer. I wish for more laughs, new friendships and a baby.

*fingers crossed!

Thank you everyone for all the warmth and love.

Dumbo? Always.

Posted on August 29, 2016 by karissaestrada

It’s official. We have fallen in love with DUMBO, Brooklyn.

Dumbo stands for Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass.

Don’t worry, I learned that just yesterday. We’ve only graced Dumbo with our presence twice since moving to New York, however, it’s been one of our favorite spots. We love the atmosphere, food, and cobble stone streets. There’s a restaurant on Front Street called “Front Street Pizza” that has everything you could possibly want: Sandwiches, Pizza, Pasta, Soup, and Salads. Don’t let the actual restaurant itself or it’s aesthetic fool you…the food is BOMB and they give you a ton of it for the price.

About the look: You already know my love, more like obsession, with jumpsuits. I absolutely love the femininity of the floral design with a touch ruffle. It’s material is so soft and silky, it will leave you feeling comfortable and sexy all night long!

It’s Brooklyn Baby

Posted on August 18, 2016 by karissaestrada

Brooklyn.

Once you go to Brooklyn, it’s hard to leave. It’s rich in culture, rich in history but most importantly, rich in community. I love the sense of friendship and “I got your back” vibes that I get when I walk the streets of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.

Pause. Hold the phone. I starting writing this before our vehicle was broken into and before we paid $350 to get the broken window repaired on it. So far, Brooklyn holds bad memories and I really hope something magical happens to change my mind about it. We’ve only been in NYC one week and if I can be completely transparent with you, it’s been one of the worst weeks of my life. I heard it would take a little (or a lot) of transition and that you would be “initiated” into the city but gosh.. can you give a girl a break? Too many personal things have happened along with some financial hits in just one week and it’s too much for this girl to handle. The only thing that’s keeping me from going absolutely insane is the fact that I’m a mommy to an attention soaking puppy and a wife to a very hardworking, loving husband. They keep me going when I don’t have the will to.

I’m hoping things begin to look up very soon.

With love,

Street Glam

Posted on August 2, 2016 by karissaestrada

Since my announcement of moving to New York I’ve been rocking this hat more than usual. I can’t help but feel giddy when I wear it because it symbolizes more than just my hubby’s favorite baseball team. It symbolizes the city that I’m about to make my home and all the hard work and preparation of getting there. This was my last photo shoot in Denver so I thought wearing this cap would be fitting. I’m so excited to see my style evolve and grow since I’ll be pushed past my limits in a city that’s known to be one the greatest fashion cities in the world. I’ve been bored and restless with my outfitting but I’m about to embark on a whole new playing field. I truly cannot wait to be in my own skin surrounded by people who have the same passion as me.
