Vintage Shopping

Posted on October 21, 2016 by karissaestrada

Wyatt and I did an impromptu photo shoot right outside the most epic pop-up vintage fashion market in Brooklyn where I met THEE Stacy London from “What Not To Wear.” She was incredible by the way, so humble and kind. Fun Fact: When I was young I would watch “What Not To Wear” over and over and it was the first time I decided that I wanted a future in fashion.

It was a rainy day in Brooklyn. Every step was a puddle. If you look closely you can see raindrops in these photos, frozen in time. I loved this day of exploring Brooklyn with my husband. I love rainy days! It makes me feel less guilty about wanting to stay inside and watch movies all day. It’s been proven, no matter what miraculous city I live in, I will always remain a homebody.

With Love,

Lemonade In NYC

Posted on August 15, 2016 by karissaestrada

New York summers are unlike any other summer. Beautiful but HOT. HOT.HOT. Some ice cold lemonade and a sweet yellow dress will get your through it, trust me. I have faith that my hair and my skin will get used to the humidity even if I’m a complete mess at the moment. My poor hair, no matter the hairspray or dry shampoo, can’t last 5 minutes. This Yankees hat has been a lifesaver. I’ve noticed hair isn’t that much of a priority amongst New York women. If that’s the case, I know I will fit right in.

Back to the heat: The only way my makeup will survive the moist, hot subways is if I really set and even “bake” my makeup. Baking your makeup means: After foundation is applied, a thick coat of light powder is applied to the face (under the eyes, cheekbones, bridge of the nose, chin, and forehead for definition), and is left on to figuratively “cook” for 10 to 30 minutes into the skin from body heat.

The matte-er your makeup the better or else this humidity will evaporate it in seconds!

Orange Red

I had been eyeing this bright orange red dress for awhile now. I ended up snagging it on mega sale at Anthropologie recently and I haven’t been able to take my eyes off of it. It shines so bright in my closet along with my other bright orange pieces. I’m starting to see a theme here. It’s easily my all time favorite color to wear.

Wyatt and I went to some festival in downtown Denver and ran off to shoot these photos before the sun went down. We brought Finley along for the adventure because we read that taking him out and about is healthy. He needs to socialize. Nearly every person that passed had to come up and say hi. I’m happy to share the puppy breath and sweet kisses but sometimes enough is enough! Just kidding, but really though, he draws a lot of attention on himself. He can’t help it…he’s that cute.

The Perfect Accessory (Meet My Puppy)

Posted on July 7, 2016 by karissaestrada

Dear Readers, I’d like for you to meet our newest little addition to our family, Finley Bear. He is a 6.5 weeks old chocolate Toy Poodle, currently weighing at 1.5 pounds. He’s the sweetest and most ornery dog you’ll ever meet. He’s teething so he absolutely loves to nibble on everything. He likes to wake me up at three in the morning to bite my ears or to chew on his loudest squeaky toy. I don’t mind it one bit though. He’s too cute to be angry at. He’s only been a part of our family for a few days now but he’s absolutely captured our hearts. He’s brought so much joy into our lives regardless of the lack of sleep.

We love you Finley.

With Love,

Red, White & Chic

Posted on July 4, 2016 by karissaestrada

Happy Happy Fourth of July guys!

I hope you are all enjoying your camping, barbecues, and sparklers today. This weekend is one of my favorite weekends of the year. I’m bummed I wasn’t able to plan anything this time around but Wyatt and I are good at making the best of it. All I ask for is a yummy hot dog and nice firework show. Here’s my very last minute 4th of July outfit that I picked up just the other day. Again, this holiday really snuck up on me this year. I need to get better at planning. In a just a few short weeks I’ll have more time on my hands to finally have a little freedom and do more of the things that I’ve always wanted to do. I can’t wait.

Anywho…Have a great day!

With love,
