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.

With Love,

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!

Local Legend

Posted on May 31, 2015 by karissaestrada

Graphic tees are one of the funnest things to style, in my opinion. They bring such spunk and voice to your wardrobe. I have so many graphic tees stored away in my closet and once in awhile I’ll bring them out when I’m feeling edgy. Since I have so many tees, I’m never really on a search for more until I saw this “Local Legend” one. I have no idea what made me want this crop top so much but I would spend hours just thinking about how I just had to have it in my life. I don’t even know if Local Legend is a band name but I had to buy it because it does have somewhat truth in my life. Every single time I go back to my home town I get so much love to my blog everywhere I go, from family, ex co-workers, old friends, but mostly strangers. It’s so much fun. I’m not a legend in no way, shape or form, but I like to pretend I am. A fashion legend.

The thing I love about graphic tees is that they can be paired with just about anything. I love rocking them with a leather jacket because those two are a match made in heaven. I wore my olive/brown shorts for comfort and my favorite Zara heels to keep things elevated. You will definitely see this crop top in the near future. I want to wear it all the time because the material just might be the softest material of all time. (I’m so dramatic.)

See ya later my local legends. Bring out your graphic tees today, they need love too.

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.

Blouses are beauties thats for sure.

Fun In Fuchsia

Posted on May 27, 2015 by karissaestrada

Hello again,

Are you someone who feels like you never get a break to just…be. School, work, appointments, life: All these things are great but really time consuming and quite honestly, exhausting. I had one day off this week and it went by so fast. If you’re interested in what I did on that spectacular day, try not to get too excited because all I did was watch Netflix…all by myself. I’ve been hooked on this incredibly cheesy/horrible series and I’m not even going to tell you the name because I’m that embarrassed that it’s guilty pleasure. OH! And I made a birthday cake…just for me. It’s not even my birthday any time soon. I needed a day to just be myself and to do absolutely nothing. A day to lay in bed, pig out on junk food, and wear nothing but leggings and a $2 t-shirt from Target. These days are where I recharge and regroup for another crazy but rewarding week of blogging and working.

Once I’ve done all the necessary things to recharge my battery, I get back on that fashion blogger grind with a bright statement piece to make me feel alive again. There really is nothing like going from a slob-ka-bob on the couch to getting all primped up in a fuchsia romper and taking on the city by storm. I always think dressing up in something simple but bright is so refreshing. You should really try it sometime.

With Love,
