Black & White

Hello There!

We are 41 days away from the wedding and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s been exhausting, frustrating, time consuming and I’m just looking forward to being Wyatt’s Mrs once and for all. My life is consumed by unread emails, missed phone calls, 40 hours of exhausting work life and I’ve been having the hardest time catching up. I miss my blog, my friends, the sunshine and quality time with my Fiancé. May 1st, after the wedding and the honeymoon are over I’m going to reevaluate my priorities and make some big changes because this happy camper hasn’t been happy in a long time. Life is way too short to settle.

My necklace, my favorite necklace of all time is from Olio Goods. A fellow co-worker of mine is too talented beyond words. Her work is inspiring and original. I’m honored to rock her horse hair necklaces nearly everyday. Please check out her shop! You won’t regret it.

With love,

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,

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!

Holiday Party 2015

Posted on December 18, 2015 by karissaestrada

Holiday parties are the perfect excuse to go all out with all things tulle, glitter, sequins and bright red lipstick. This year I wanted to make a statement with this soft pink organza skirt and keep the rest on top simple and comfortable. I wore this to my work Holiday party and felt like a million bucks. I recommend every girl to own a organza skirt, no matter the color or length, you will feel amazing. And feeling good is all that matters right?

Also, I’m warning you guys that I did not plan on wearing this fur collar in the next 3-5 posts but I am. I cannot help it. It dresses up every single outfit. It has BY FAR been my favorite purchase this year. I’m sad to let this accessory go when the warm weather comes back around. Good thing I live in Colorado where it feels like winter 10 months out of the year.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Evergreen

Posted on December 14, 2015 by karissaestrada

I’m forever an evergreen girl.

I always love the aroma of pine when I walk into a cozy home during Christmas time. It soothes my soul. This year we got a real tree for our very first tree together and it’s perfection. I decided to blend in with the pine by wearing my favorite dark green, blended wool dress by Sparrow while Christmas tree shopping. I purchased last years sleeveless teal version and couldn’t resist this years version. I’m not the biggest fan of wool but I’ll wear this dress forever and ever. I’ll also purchase anything with three-quarter sleeves. I was reading the reviews on this dress online and noticed a comment that this dress is amazing for curvier girls. I think what I love about the style of this dress more than anything is that it looks great on every kind of figure. It’s kind of amazing paired with my all time favorite fur collar and of, course, my UGGS.

Oh, UGGS. I call them my happy place because they’re just that…happy.
