My Zumba Outfit

Posted on September 24, 2016 by karissaestrada

Coming from a girl that loved being active and danced her whole life, it’s quite ironic that fitness is no longer a part of my daily, weekly or (embarrassingly) monthly routine. I’m unmotivated. I’d like to think my lack of motivation comes from not being able to find a fitness program that suits me. I’m on the hunt for a great dance company/studio in the NYC area if anyone knows any. I would love to take some barre classes for toning but I’m more interested in some freestyle, hip-hop based dance classes where I can get dowwwn, if you know what I mean. In the meantime I love staying active and participating in some Zumba every now and then. It releases endorphins and all the negative energy while still having a blast. Working out shouldn’t be so serious. I highly recommend trying it ladies if you haven’t.

I can’t say goodbye without mentioning how absolutely adorable this work out set it is. I’m so in love with the soft blue shade, detailing and the material…oh my.

The best workout gear that will actually make you want to workout.

P.S. My sweet Finley was very eager to be in these photos and I’m so happy we decided to let him join us. He’s such a natural! Maybe I should sign him up for some doggie modeling. Wink wink.

Love & Pizza

Posted on September 21, 2016 by karissaestrada

Love and some delicious New York pizza is all you need. My t-shirt says it all. If I had just these two things for the rest of my life, I think I’d be okay.

If wearing galactic inspired pants scares you, just bring them back down to earth with a casual tee. It softens the look and balances things out. I rocked this look during fashion week but don’t put it past me to rock a similar look every day of the week. Moving to NYC has really opened my eyes to more and more fashion and street style inspiration. No one cares what you wear. Everyone has such an open mind here. Wearing silly space pants on a Sunday is no big deal. I love it.

With Love,

September is in full swing. Can’t even believe October is around the corner. I am so happy to be writing about my first fall look of the year! (Even though the weather is still 80 degrees here in NYC.) I love FALL more than the average pumpkin spice latte drinking girl should. I mean who doesn’t? Layering for fall is where it’s at: Adding scarves, sweaters, cardigans, long sleeved tees…The whole sha-bang. It’s my favorite. Want to know what goes hand in hand with the Autumn season?

F-l-a-r-e-d D-e-n-i-m.

Oh yes. My prayers were answered. I have FINALLY found the most perfect form fitting, shape hugging, bootylicious, stretchy flared jeans. Sweet baby Jesus, it took me years to find the perfect pair. I love the wash, the shape and the pockets on these pair and you will never believe that I paid under $30 for them. I had to get them altered because they were originally made for a giant but other than that, they fit like a dream. Free People was a having a sale on sale and that’s when I snagged these beauties. I’ve linked similar flared denim below. Get them now while they’re hot hot hot.

What’s Trending

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,

Feeling 22

Posted on August 31, 2016 by karissaestrada

I had the sweetest birthday this year filled with love and yummy Nutella crepes. Let me break this fabulous day down for you.

10:00 A.M. – Coffee with Finley and a little Big Bang Theory.

11:00 A.M. – More Big Bang Theory while Finley takes a nap on my lap.

11:30 A.M. – Getting ready for the day while Wyatt runs his “errands.” (More like set up little surprises for me throughout the day.)

12:30 P.M. Drive to Manhattan Bridge. Can’t find parking so we walk about a mile to the bridge holding giant gold balloons. Everyone is staring.

1:00 P.M. – Finally get to the bridge. Took a moment to breathe in the beauty of it all and then took some BOMB pictures on the bridge. Everyone is staring.

1:20 P.M. After struggling to get a good photo with my “22” balloons we finally get THE PERFECT photo just in time before a biker accidentally snatched my balloons out of my hands and into the air. (There went $50.)

2:30 P.M. We make it back home after getting a $115 dollar parking ticket. We take a little nappie-nap and then get ready for the evening activities.

5:00 P.M. Get on the subway heading to our dinner reservation at 5:30.

5:30 P.M. We make it to La Piscine in Chelsea with the one of the best rooftop views of the city.

6:00 P.M. – My parents surprise me with the most bouquet of flowers at the restaurant. I only wished my parents came with the bouquet. I really missed them.

8:00 P.M After dinner and a little shopping in Chelsea, we obviously had to stop by one of my favorite crepe spots in the city, Golden Crepes. I ordered the Nutella and strawberry crepe and with that my birthday was complete. I could not have asked for a more perfect, relaxing birthday with my husband in our new city.
