Hey, We’re Golden

Posted on September 30, 2016 by karissaestrada

Golden hours and gilded leaves. When I think of Fall, I immediately think GOLD. Metallics have been hot for awhile and I’m not talking the 14 Karat kind that dangles around your neck, nope, I’m talking about this $40 Missguided dress. It’s luxurious and trendy and you won’t be breaking the bank when rocking it around the city. When paired with khaki or other neutral colors, this glimmering shade becomes even more brilliant.

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!

Dark NYFW Look

Posted on September 15, 2016 by karissaestrada

Dark. Romantic. Bold. Mysterious. This sums up the captivating SS17 collection of Katie Gallagher. I absolutely loved being this grungy girl for the night, dressed up in a very haute couture inspired outfit. It was something completely out of my comfort zone, yet, not at all outside my comfort zone. I would dress up, ready for a runway show every single day if I could.

Supporting smaller designers is the way to go. They work so hard and it amazes me the amount of time and effort that goes into designing and following through with a runway show. Go her. For following her dreams and taking risks. SO INSPIRING.

About Katie Gallagher – Eclipse SS17

Secretive, unknown, mysterious, Black, the darkest color yet the color with no color at all, represents both full absorption and complete absence of light, evil and elegance. Constantly inspired by this hue that has no hue, Katie Gallagher’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection, Eclipse, is her third all-black collection, followed by last season’s all black collection, Veiled and her initial collection, S/S 2010, Veil.

Gallagher’s current monochromatic collection relies on textures and subtle details, highlighting her obsessions with gothic architecture, Harry Clarke illustrations and traditional Catholic rituals and symbols. She complements these heavy themes with lightweight fabrics and whimsical embroidery.

Through Eclipse, Gallagher combines Swiss Dot sheer jackets with delicate lace and pony fur, English tulle skirts and tops feature embroidered hearts, dots and crosses. Gallagher pairs gathered, twisted seams with grosgrain ribbons and silver zippers, defining her SS17 collection.

I had such a blast with my bestie, viewing the collection, meeting our Instagram friends for the first time. It was a magical night that ended in lots of laughs and new friends.

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.

What’s Trending

Posted on September 3, 2016 by karissaestrada

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!

With love,
