Sweet Spring

Posted on March 29, 2016 by karissaestrada

I’m sure I’ve written this before but Spring is my all-time favorite season. There are many reasons as to why Spring is my favorite, the biggest one being flowers. B-L-O-O-M. It’s like world is awaken again and everything gets a fresh start. What’s not to love about that? Tulips are my absolute favorite pick-me-up. Whenever I need a little boost, my favorite thing to do is go to a flower shop and just go crazy. I currently have all sorts of floral arrangements sprinkled around the house because a girl can’t ever have too many flowers. (Hint Hint Wyatt.) I cannot wait to have a garden of my own someday because I know deep down inside I have a little green thumb.

Dresses feel extra special when worn in the Spring time as well. This dress in particular I’m bringing with me on our honeymoon. I think it’s design and structure is so cool. I don’t own anything like it in my closet. The button-back is my favorite feature, not to mention it’s beautifully fitting. I’ll probably wear this exact outfit, from the straw hat to the strappy white flats on our special vacation because I felt like something out of a movie. A love a good classic, lady-like look.

Dressed To Impress

Posted on March 18, 2016 by karissaestrada

Happy Friday!

Or maybe not so much. I’ve spent the day sick in bed so since I’m already here on my laptop watching Grey’s Anatomy, I wanted to put up a blog post. My runny nose and all wanted to say hi. So…hi.

Typing, writing, blogging, journaling: all of these things can be the best remedy when you’re feeling down. Another way I like to stay upbeat and cheerful is by dressing up. I don’t know why it is but putting on my favorite red lipstick and sliding into a chic dress makes feel all brand new again. I don’t dress to impress others, I dress to impress myself. To remind myself that I’m good enough, I’m beautiful and I’m worth it. Sometimes that’s all a girl needs is to feel confident and good about themselves. Us women should empower each other more, rather than pick apart our imperfections. The one thing I cannot stand more than anything is negativity. Positivity and good energy is what I like to surround myself with. That and a good pair of heels.

The chic design of this dress made me feel like a winner. I wore this on a date night out with my soon to be husband and I loved being in it every second of the night. I also did not feel guilty chowing down a massive hamburger because the cut of the dress is made perfect for a full belly. I can’t wait to bring this number on my honeymoon, wherever that may be. Wyatt planned the honeymoon from start to finish and I won’t know where we are going until we get the airport. It better be warm and I better be done with this cold.

Santa Monica Girl

Posted on February 10, 2016 by karissaestrada

Wyatt and I recently booked a much needed trip to Los Angeles where we got to visit our future wedding venue, dip our toes into the ocean and eat lots of delicious seafood. I got about a week of vacation time at the last minute so I begged and begged Wyatt to go to California. His initial response was no but I didn’t take no for an answer. He finally agreed to go when I mentioned how important it is for our sanity to step away from our everyday work lives and focus on us. It was, no joke, one of my favorite trips ever. We made every single moment memorable. That’s why I love doing life with him.

When I was a California girl for just a few days, I made sure to wear what all of favorite California bloggers were wearing: Camel colored pieces and denim midi-skirts. These key items are all the rage right now, and in my opinion, will never go out of style.

I can’t wait to go back in April to marry the man of my dreams!

With love,

Checking In

Posted on January 15, 2016 by karissaestrada

Hello there my dear friends.

I thought I would just check in since I’ve been away from all social media for awhile. I miss you all. How’s everything? Is life treating you good? My life is chaos since I started planning our perfect wedding. Let me tell you, there is not enough hours in a day to get everything done. How am I supposed to have a healthy sleep schedule when planning this destination wedding? That’s right, I don’t even sleep. And the only time I’m on my phone is if I’m contacting the lady from our venue or talking to my mom about wedding details. Instagram, SnapChat, Twitter and Facebook don’t exist to me anymore for the time being because this wedding needs all of me right now. The stress of it all is really getting to me but I know it will all be worth it in the end. I have the best Maid of Honor that’s supporting me from all angles and the best Fiancé that reminds me of what this wedding is all about.

Anyways, I hope all is well and I just wanted to let you all know that, yes, I am alive.

With Love,

Cozy Days

Posted on December 24, 2015 by karissaestrada

Merry Christmas Eve my friends. What a wonderful year it has been and I hope all of you can say the same. Wyatt and I have had a blast decorating our tree and making home feel so festive and warm. From hitting up Target and going Christmas tree shopping, we made each moment such an adventure. I’m so happy and blessed to share this life with him and create traditions of our own. One way I’ve been staying cozy this holiday season is with this single color co-ordinate outfit. I picked up this casual outfit at Zara, my all time favorite place, and haven’t looked back since. I’ve been so in love with browns lately. I’ve added more brown in my wardrobe in the past month than in my entire life. I’ve been really inspired by the way Kanye and his fashion line can make neutrals looks so good.

That’s all for now. I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas with loved ones. Guard your heart and do whatever you need to do to stay positive and happy because there’s a lot of unneeded hate in this world and a lot of negative people in our ears. All we can do is pray for those that don’t know the meaning of love and humility.

God Bless!

With love,
