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,

Casual “Go To” Everyday Outfit

Posted on May 25, 2015 by karissaestrada

Before we talk about this incredibly comfortable and easy to pull off outfit, I just had to mention the struggle it was taking these photos. Wyatt and I had the busiest day on this particular day. Running errands, heading to appointments and meetings. I actually don’t remember eating on this day because of all the things we needed to accomplish. I really wanted to take these photos regardless of what was going on and when we finally made time, it started to rain. I’ve been having a love-hate relationship with the rainy weather lately. You might be able to tell in these photos that it was raining but we didn’t care. I’m so pleased at how these photos turned out regardless of how complicated our day was. I’m one happy and exhausted blogger.

Okay, let’s talk fashion.

This outfit might be my definition of casual everyday perfection. It has all the special elements that I look for in an outfit. Comfort from my favorite pair of jeans. Boldness from my statement heels. Trendy from my off the shoulder top. I added a fedora because I knew it needed a little something extra. If a look like this can conquer the crazy day that I had then I think that just shows how wearable it is. I will most definitely be wearing this outfit again soon.

Pretty In Pastel

Posted on May 21, 2015 by karissaestrada

I was talking to someone the other day that only liked to wear fall colors. I then asked her what she thought of pastels and she just gave me a disgusted look and said, “Hideous.” Well, to each their own but I think she’s crazy! Although, fall colors are absolutely beautiful, they shouldn’t be worn every single day of the year. Pastels are the reason that I breathe. It may sound a little dramatic but these range of colors make the world a little more unique and bright. I love the fall because that’s where mustard yellow, taupes, and black appear but Spring is where everything comes back to life. Purple may not be my favorite color but in it’s pastel form it might as well be.

This slightly revealing romper screams summer fun. Doesn’t this cute little number make you want to just party and let loose for just one night? I know I need a little fun in my life and I will be bringing this little guy along when I do. My closet definitely needed something saucy. I may not be 100% confident in this romper but I never like to be TOO comfortable when it comes to my outfits. If something scares me a little, it might just be the thing I needed. Don’t worry mom, you won’t see me in deep v-necks every day but trust me, it’s totally okay to be daring once in awhile.

Where in the world would I wear this romper you ask? I can think of plenty.

1.Girls Night sipping on margaritas.

2.Date Night with a statement clutch and heels.

3.An Appearance (If you’re famous or something.)

4.Clubbin’ -if you’re into that kind of thing.

5. Or if you’re like me…Just wear this on your couch wishing that you had somewhere cool to go.

I hope this post inspires you to step out of your everyday clothing and throw on something daring. I mean, if I can do it…so can you.

With Love,

Button-Downs Don’t Have To Be So Boring

Posted on May 19, 2015 by karissaestrada

I mean, based on the pictures, can’t you tell how much fun I’m having in my little button down? Wearing button-downs don’t have to be so boring, ladies. In fact, they are the opposite but that’s all up to how you decide to wear it. I absolutely love to wear my button downs (or button up, however you want to say it) with a statement skirt or high waisted trousers. I don’t know what I would do without all of my different pairs of high waisted trousers because they have truly evolved my wardrobe into everything that it was meant to be. As a fashion lover, I can’t go a week without throwing on a pair into my daily wardrobe because they are just so versatile and there’s nothing better to spice up a button down. When I first purchased this blue, white and red striped beauty I was worried it was too “Fourth of July-ish” but that’s not the case at all! Also, there’s nothing wrong with representing our country when it’s not a national holiday…Just a regular Monday will do just fine too! When pairing a button down with anything high waisted, I always make sure that that my button-down can be comfortably tucked into my pants. The length of the top makes such a difference. Good thing this hankercheif style of top is so versatile. Tucked in or out, it WILL turn heads.

Anthropologie finally restocked this lovely top on their website. Check out the link down below to see how beautiful this top flows when it’s not tucked in. Take out your button-downs, because we all have them, and try to find new ways to love them and show them their full potential. Button-downs are meant for so much more than just the corporate world my friends! Have Fun! XOXO!

Butterfly Sleeves

Posted on May 17, 2015 by karissaestrada

Butterfly sleeves are the epitome of femininity and grace. This stand out detail transforms your dress from simple to statement. I love everything about this dress from the shade, shape, and tie-waist detailing. I can’t imagine going on a day-date or luncheon without this beauty. I would’ve purchased this dress regardless of the color but this salmon shade is everything that I love. I’ve stepped out of my obsession with Indigo for only a moment and have bought nothing but salmon colored pieces. I think this color is slowly turning into my summer “go-to” shade. I know I will be able to rock this salmon shade now that I’m pale but also when I start getting some color in the upcoming summer months. The light weight material makes it a lot easier to wear on those extremely hot days. Seriously, you can see it for your yourself just how beautiful this dress is. I don’t need to say much else about it. I’ll let the affordable price and pictures do all the talking. Hurry and buy this dress before it sells out! (Link Below)

P.s. I got a size 2 which is technically a size 0 at H&M. I recommend sizing up because the material is not stretchy and there’s no zipper. The tie-waist will cinch everything in.
