Day in and day out I get asked how I’m able to wear heels all day long. To be honest, I’m like most women and I do get foot pain. I’m just able to sacrifice my comfort so I can wear my favorite heels. Heels make me feel beautiful. It may sound silly but they not only elevate every single look you wear, but they bring confidence that a normal flat couldn’t, just couldn’t. No matter the amount of blisters, red marks, and band-aids I still would much rather opt for heels. Those painful days are over ladies! I would hate for other women to not feel the way I do in heels because of their discomfort, so here’s my secret.

Let me introduce you to Sole Serum– “A serum that targets foot pain relief. With the power of lidocaine and a soothing combination of natural oils and extracts, Sole Serum takes away your daily aches and pains. Just simply apply a small amount when you start feel discomfort. Your feet will be free of pain for up to two hours per use. Whether you’re standing on your feet all day, running errands, or simply making your way through the work day, foot pain can occur in even the most comfortable and sensible shoes. Sole Serum is the perfect solution, with its blend of natural and active ingredients to safely relieve foot pain for up to two hours per use. The power of lidocaine not only blocks the foot’s pain signals from reaching the brain, but also helps to reduce inflammation. It also includes natural ingredients to help soothe your skin and leave your feet feeling refreshed. Your feet will thank you!” Click | here | to read more about their philosophy.

But here’s my philosophy: Wear whatever makes you feel beautiful because life is WAY too short to not to.

The Blue Team

Posted on March 24, 2015 by karissaestrada

It’s official. I’m on the blue team now. I’m so happy that more and more clothing companies are hopping on this Indigo trend because it’s just more for me to buy. I WANT IT ALL. I’ve always been a huge fan of the color blue but now that it’s available everywhere I’ve just been soaking it up more. I almost don’t want to leave the house without the color blue somewhere on my outfit. I need help. Again, this is just another phase in my style life. Everyone goes through them. I was school shopping one year and all I bought were dresses. Nothing but dress. No jeans, no tees. Halfway into the school year I was like, “Okay, I’m so sick of this.” But I always do this to myself. I jump into every fashion adventure with my whole heart. I really dive deep and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Because in the end, I’m left with great memories and some cute clothes that are mostly timeless. I now have plenty of denim in my closet to last me a lifetime. I really feel like one of the guys. Uh oh, here I go dropping the word menswear but whatever. My brothers would really love this new “not so girly” side of me that I’ve recently discovered. I love my skirts, my blouses, my heels but it’s nice not having to dress up completely in head to girly-ness. It’s nice throwing my hair back and putting on some denim overalls. P.s. I have been on the search for some fabulous overalls for the longest time. I’m so thrilled to have finally found a nice light wash pair. All that’s left to do is discover a dark wash but until then I’ll be rockin’ this one.

Cheers To The Weekend

Posted on March 20, 2015 by karissaestrada

Stripes and boyfriend jeans are the perfect combination and this timeless outfit calls for a weekend in the city. Out and about exploring the museums, little shops, boutiques, and amusement parks. This would be the perfect 4th of July outfit but I couldn’t wait until then to wear it. Red, white and blue stripes will never go out of style and neither will showing your love for your country. I love keeping things casual once in awhile and giving my feet a little break from the heels. Converse, sneakers and flats never seem to let me down on those endless walking days. And neither does sipping on some black tea from Starbucks. MY FAVORITE! Yum. My paint splattered Pilcro boyfriend jeans seem to be my “go to” jeans nowadays. They provide me with comfort and style from day to night and I absolutely love them. I never used to be a fan of lighter wash jeans but for some reason, I’m kind of diggin’ them lately. I will honestly sport every shade of jeans as long as it comes in the ‘boyfriend’ style. Like seriously, I don’t understand why more people aren’t into this trend. It’s the best excuse to be comfortable while staying chic. Boyfriend jeans are the perfect “sweatpants” alternative. Embrace that!

Wyatt and I like to do some exploring on our days off and just inhale this pretty cool city while we’re here. We really like going to basketball and football games but our absolute favorite thing to do is watch some good ole baseball. That’s what me and him both grew up watching. He played since he was little and I watched both my brothers since I was little as well. It’s in our blood. We both cannot wait to go to our first Rockies game of the year.

Indigo Vibes

Posted on March 16, 2015 by karissaestrada

You HAVE to love a 3 item look that isn’t a typical t-shirt and jeans outfit. 1)Top 2)Overalls 3)Statement shoes. Overalls are known for transforming a simple outfit into a comfortable chic one. Every girl needs a black pair. The possibilities are nearly endless. I love how we simply have to throw on a pair of overalls and automatically feel like we’re stepping out of the box but not too far out of the box either. It’s all about being fashionable AND approachable. I like to wear my overalls with simple pieces most of the time, just to enhance them and have more of the focus on my fab overalls. I choose to wear an outfit like this when going out on a casual lunch date with some friends. Most of mine and Wyatt’s friends aren’t into fashion as much as I am so I like to feel comfortable around them and their 3 item look but I never sacrifice who I am at the same time. I will never skip out on the lipstick or the heels. That’s just impossible. All of my friends are understanding of some of my outrageous outfits and some even praise me for dressing uniquely and I could not be more thankful for that. If the day comes that a friend doesn’t like the way I am…see ya later LOSER! Just kidding, but really. That would never happen anyways considering I don’t have very many friends AND the friends I do have are incredible so I’m good “overall.” HA! I crack myself up.

Black & Gold

Posted on March 14, 2015 by karissaestrada

I can’t remember how early I woke up on this day. It was a whole lot earlier than what I’m used to that’s for sure. On days when I am truly exhausted and to be honest, not in the best mood, I wear all black. An all black outfit is my way of telling the world that “I’m not my normal happy self, just ignore me please.” I usually sport an all black outfit when I need to get things done and don’t feel like looking approachable. Like, seriously, ignore me. If you can’t tell already, I wasn’t wearing ANY makeup in this post besides some red lipstick. I’ve been rocking this “no makeup” look a ton lately. I’m going through a weird phase where I actually hate makeup. Less is much much more to me nowadays. I also threw on some bold sunglasses to hide the lack of sleep instead of putting on concealer. If ya know me, you know that I love gold accents. I think I even have a past blog post that’s titled ‘gold accents.’ I’m not too sure. Anyways I was so thrilled to rock these gold heels and my gold purse. My two favorites in one little post.

As you can tell this outfit is pretty basic but it still has its bold factor which is what I absolutely love in a day to day look. Go ahead and wear your all black ensemble and rock it when you do but don’t rock it every single day. It would be a shame to be unapproachable all the time. Looking like a ninja isn’t a bad thing, trust me, but being colorful and vibrant isn’t either!

Take a dip into both worlds. It’s fun!
