The Perfect Dress

Posted on October 2, 2014 by karissaestrada

Are you looking for the perfect dress? You can stop searching my lady because it’s right here. You’re welcome. I think everyone and their mother owns this Anthropologie dress. I feel like I see it everywhere. My favorite fashion bloggers rock this dress all the time. It’s even more beautiful in person, trust me. It’s truly one of those dresses that you can wear all year long. I’m constantly searching for new ways to wear it because I wear it so often. Adding this mustard yellow bomber and belt made this baby doll dress a little more fall appropriate and a little more fun. This dress caught my eye because it reminds me of my Spanish heritage. I feel like I can wear this dancing to spanish music while cooking green chili enchiladas in the kitchen with my mama. Muy Bonita!

Xoxo, Karissa

| Cropped Sweaters with Dresses |The New Thing

Posted on September 30, 2014 by karissaestrada

My new favorite thing to do is wear sweaters over dresses. A cropped sweater is even better to pair with a flowy dress like this one. It’s one of the newest and easiest trends this fall. Why get rid of all your summer dresses when all you have to do is pair it with some jeans, boots, and throw on a cardi? Innovation at its best ladies.This post is a more girly take on this Anthropologie cropped sweater but trust me I have a post coming soon for all you tomboyish peeps out there. Just don’t forget to Subscribe or like my Facebook page to keep updated with all things Karissa Marie!

Tip of the Day! Play around with your wardrobe, look at your older pieces and merge them into your newer ones. All of the possibilities will surprise you. Have fun with what you have and try not to stress about buying more clothes because trust me, I’m sure you have plenty. Blast some music and put on a fashion show for yourself. I’m sure you’ll come up with some great outfit ideas! But in the meantime, here’s some inspiration.

Magazines & Converse

Posted on September 28, 2014 by karissaestrada

Easily the two things that I can’t live without most days. My magazine and my pair of converse shoes. It’s funny because they both seem completely opposite from one another but that’s just me. I’m a little bit of everything. I get most of my inspiration from fashion magazines. That’s the main reason I’d love to work for one some day. I find some sort of idea on every page. Whether it’s fashion, makeup, hair or even life tips, you can find it all in one small book. Magazines are sacred. It takes a lot for me to throw one away because it’s like throwing away diamonds. Too much beauty in one small thing. Look at me, I’m such a fashion blogger. Whatever, I like what I like okay? I couldn’t imagine a life without em. There’s something magical when I throw on my pair of dirty converse after wearing my Zara heels all day and hopping on the couch and reading a magazine. It’s my happy place for sure. It’s my way of saying “DO NOT DISTURB,” I’m in my own little world.

XOXO,

Karissa

Typical Fall Outfit

Posted on September 21, 2014 by karissaestrada

From the dark lip, the boots, and the purse to match it’s officially a typical fall outfit. Sorry. I can’t help myself sometimes. I think this look is great for almost every type of girl. A country girl like Jessie James would rock this and even someone like Kylie Jenner could pull this off as well. It has a little bit of everything but still so simple at the same time. To be honest, at first I wasn’t happy with this look but then I realized I didn’t have any lipstick on. LIPSTICK CHANGES EVERYTHING. Am I right ladies, or am I right? If you still haven’t taken a dip in the lipstick pool, I suggest you do that…yesterday. Lipstick pulls a basic outfit together and completes the entire look oh so effortlessly. Not to mention the confidence it gives. Give a girl some lipstick and she will conquer the world.

Muah.

My Favorite Four Letter Word.

Posted on September 11, 2014 by karissaestrada

L.O.V.E. is written on my TopShop midi skirt, big and bold. black and white…but thats not the only place I wish to wear it. I planned on this post being just a simple outfit of the day post but my “love” skirt got me thinking about the actual four letter word and how I want to live my life not only surrounded by that word, but constantly giving that word away. I want that random person that I walk past, who is having a bad day, to know that I love them, in the most un-awkward way of course. Everyone deserves love. I want that old friend from my hometown to know that even though we don’t talk as much… I still love her. And most of all, I not only want people to see me, but to see love when they see me. Does that make sense? I want people to know that I have a GIANT heart and if I don’t give my love to others, I will explode. I’m working on saying “I love you” more and I think we should ALL start doing that. Tomorrow isn’t promised so why not let people you care about know that you love them. ELL-OH-VEE–EEE Say it more, do it more, and your life will be complete.

Also, I know its almost time to put away the sandals and crop tops but I’m not ready to make that commitment. All I see are people wearing sweaters and leggings with boots and it’s driving me ca-razy! I’m trying to wear all my summer favorites before its really too late. Before you know it I’ll be wearing my dark lipstick and favorite Target booties don’t you worry. I have good news, I’m finally getting over that random cold that I got a few days ago. I’ve had nothing but hot tea, soup and lots of rest. Can’t wait to be back to normal and have my energy back. Slob-ka-bob Karissa is no fun, no fun at all.

If you haven’t liked my new Facebook page, you should go to that now! My goal is to get 300 likes by the end of September. LETS DO THIS! Share my page with your friends. Like it —> here.

XOXO,

Karissa
