A Magical Day In Central Park

The look on Finley’s face the moment his feet touched down in Central Park was the most magical thing I’ve seen all season. Finley, just shy of 6 months, has never seen or felt Fall before. All of his senses are stimulated and he suddenly has the energy of a kid after eating a cupcake. Finley started running around circles, jumping up and down like a bunny and rolling around in the fallen leaves. Seeing this inner puppy come out like that almost brought me to tears. He has such a sweet soul and seeing him that happy made my entire year. I can’t wait for all the first’s I get to experience with him. He’s my best friend.

Well folks, Fall is officially in the air…the crisp-crisp air. My outfits are quickly overshadowed by my need to stay warm. My jackets and coats are just about all I can create when the weather is constricting. That’s my least favorite part about the cold climate. Not being able to show off my clothes! I just recently snagged this statement denim coat at Zara. It’s so urban chic and I get so many compliments on the subway. Not to mention it’s surprisingly warm with bits and pieces lined with a thick fleece material. It was Finley approved.

A New York Outfit

Posted on November 12, 2016 by karissaestrada

I’ve had this post sitting here, in my “to do’s” forever now. I open the tab, stare at the blank page for a few minutes trying to gather my thoughts and form at least one sentence but nothing appears. I quickly click the exit button. This has been my life for the past couple of months. Nothing all that great to write about or talk about. I’m just kind of living one day at a time and that’s about it. I think my mind and body need a little bit of a break. If you’ve noticed I’ve taken a small step away from social media lately. It’s healthy to recharge. I’ll explain more in a future post on what’s been going on but I’m going to make a cup of hot cocoa and continue watching my Netflix show. (I’m currently loving Parenthood.) Also, Wyatt and Finley are fast asleep next to me on the couch and one of them farted. Y-A-Y.

Talk soon?

Hello November

Posted on November 3, 2016 by karissaestrada

Hello November!

I can’t believe how fast this year is coming to an end. I’m looking forward to the Holidays this year because it will be Wyatt and I’s first Thanksgiving and Christmas together as a married couple! We’re a little bummed we didn’t get to dress up for Halloween this year. We never really get into Halloween like most do. I’m hoping next year we can make up for it. Costume or not, we still had a blast! We went to Heidi Klum’s 17th Annual Halloween Party in The Village. It was so epic seeing so many celebrities. I’m hoping to stumble across some pictures of Wyatt and I in the background of the paparazzi photos. Hehe.

With Love,

When In SoHo

NYC was pleasantly hit with a wave of sunshine after a week full freezing wet weather. I was happy I hadn’t put away my summer pieces, not that I have anywhere to put them in our tiny one bedroom apartment but still happy I didn’t give up on them too early. On this perfect 70 degree day, Wyatt and I had breakfast in SoHo and explored the area before he had to rush off to work. I walked past an actor from one of my favorite movies in high school, spent some time on Prince street and did a little shopping. Soho is like another world. Since living in New York I’ve discovered that I enjoy lower Manhattan more than any part of the island. It’s so peaceful and looks like a movie set on every corner.

Cozy In Central Park

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.
