Shades Of Grey

Posted on September 21, 2015 by karissaestrada

I love me some shades of grey. Light grey, dark grey and well, I think that’s all the grey I can think of at the moment. I’ve been searching for the right pair of distressed, mid-rise grey jeans. It’s been a serious struggle but while I was in New York I stumbled across the perfect pair. They have the right amount of distressed and they’re just the right shade of grey. They may be new to my distressed denim collection but I love finding more and more ways to style them. For some reason I just love to add even more grey. Neutral looks are so chic and quite easy to pull off. I always try and add a touch of gold with a statement accessory and keep things elevated with my forever favorite heels.

I’m keeping this post short and sweet because I’m back in my home town spending some quality time with my favorites and my mom just made homemade chocolate chip cookies and I have to eat a few before my brother and dad get to them.

Carrie Bradshaw’s Apartment

Posted on September 18, 2015 by karissaestrada

On our last day in the city, there was just one final destination on my to do list: Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment. We came, we saw…we took blog pictures. I feel so complete inside knowing that I visited the sight where my queen lived. Sex & The City has been one of my favorite shows for as long as I can remember. I may not be intrigued by the scandalous side of the show but the fashion and friendships? Ya, I’m all about that. The street, the steps, the window…it was everything I had imagined it to be. Everything was so picture perfect and I’m so happy that I had the chance to go there. Just around the corner was a crepe shop and I was not about to pass up a New York crepe. It was one of the most delicious strawberry nutella crepes I have ever tasted. Right after our short but sweet trip to Carrie’s place and the Crepe shop I went to the Anthropologie in Chelsea Market, obviously. I didn’t expect the Chelsea Market to be what it was. It’s underground cafe’s, shops and restaurants were so unique. I didn’t want to leave! I cannot wait to go back to really explore the Chelsea Market and all of it’s goodness.

Culottes & Deleting My Blog

Posted on August 10, 2015 by karissaestrada

I’ve broken up with jeans and found a new love: Culottes. I love the fact that they are so trendy and fun but more importantly how comfortable and freeing they are. No matter how dressed up I get there’s always one thing that remains important to me and that’s being comfortable in my clothing. There’s nothing I love more than looking fancy and feeling great. Zara has been my one stop shop for all of those things. From business, to everyday, to glam, this store has it all to make a girl feel amazing. They also have mens and kids clothing which is even better. My entire outfit is from Zara. Since I’ve rocked Zara so much over the years, I’ve gotten so many people addicted to it. You’re welcome by the way.

I’ve have been s-t-r-u-g-g-l-i-n-g with typing up these blog posts. Heck, taking the pictures has been the most frustrating part of all. I’m not like most fashion bloggers who their entire job is blogging. Nope not me girlfriend. I have a full time job and responsibilities and don’t have the time or energy like I used to. I guess it’s all part of growing up. Today, for the very first time, I contemplated deleting my blog. I know I know, it’s shocking. I just feel really unsupported and overwhelmed. I feel like I’m the only person that wants this blog to remain successful and fun. I’m not going to name names but it seems like other people that are part of the production of my website, well, their hearts aren’t in it anymore and that’s the most difficult part. I’m not satisfied with the content and I’m just over being the only one that cares. Story of my life actually.

My rant is over. Enjoy your day.

With Love,

Oh So Delightful

Posted on July 8, 2015 by karissaestrada

I just need to mention how long my hair is right now! It didn’t grow fast by any means, heck it’s been almost a year since I chopped it off but I’m so pleased at the length that’s its at right now. It’s at that “fashion bob” stage and I think that’s where I like it best. I’ve done the short and the long version and this is by far the most maintainable and “me” cut. My hair has never been so full and healthy and I owe all that to my talented hairstylist, my mother. She takes such good care of my hair and never allows me to damaged it. Never will I ever go lighter again because it took literally years after I did the infamous ombré thing to my hair. I’ll stick with the chocolate brown hair-do for as long as possible. I would love to be a redhead tho. Maybe in a another lifetime right?

Okay enough about hair. Let’s talk fashion, I mean that’s why you’re here right? I actually don’t have much to say besides the fact that I’m absolutely obsessed with this off the shoulder top and I wish I could wear it every single day of my life. This outfit might just be my “go to” summer outfit when I’m just feeling fun and casual. I will definitely take this outfit to a Rockies game and fun backyard barbecue. Be prepared to see this top in the near future. I just love it so much because it’s oh so delightful.

The Confetti Dress

Posted on July 5, 2015 by karissaestrada

I call this my confetti dress because it looks like a party just threw up all over it. The very moment I laid my eyes on this dress I knew I had found my summer love. The muted pastel polka dots creates such a “I love summer” kind of vibe without being too overwhelming. This is that kind of dress where people will continue to stop, stare and swoon even if you feel like it’s magic has worn off. I, unfortunately, feel like an outfit loses it’s purpose after one go around. Sometimes, I cannot wear an outfit twice, (well I can but I choose not to) because I believe it loses some sort of “magic” that it holds only once or twice of wear. It sounds very foolish but being a fashion blogger, I’m always looking for more. What’s new? What’s in-style? Another positive about being the fashion lover that I am is finding more and more ways to sustain that magic for as long possible. My favorite thing to do, when I’m bored, is reinvent my wardrobe. I love taking oldies but goodies and making them feel like new by adding a trendy piece. That’s a fashionista’s biggest secret. You will see this dress again, in a different form I’m sure. I love wearing things more than twice as long as I make it unique every single time, whether I change up an accessory or shoe, the magic will never stop.
