Ready For The Holidays

Thanksgiving is around the corner. Christmas is quickly approaching. It’s time to start thinking about what you’re going to wear to all those special family gatherings, work parties and other sweet holiday celebrations. This is such a magical time of the year. Not only do you want to show up for it, you want to show up looking and feeling radiant! Your outfit should be dazzling, daring and BRILLIANT! This colorful and festive dress will most definitely be worn to my husbands work holiday party and beyond. I think this flashy little number can be worn outside the holiday season as well with its chic striped print and off the shoulder detail. I mean it. It was love at first sight. I also added this statement lip shaped clutch for a touch of merry-merry red.

Oh holiday season. I am ready for you. New York City is such a wonderful place to be this time of year. I can’t wait.

Hello November

Posted on November 3, 2016 by karissaestrada

Hello November!

I can’t believe how fast this year is coming to an end. I’m looking forward to the Holidays this year because it will be Wyatt and I’s first Thanksgiving and Christmas together as a married couple! We’re a little bummed we didn’t get to dress up for Halloween this year. We never really get into Halloween like most do. I’m hoping next year we can make up for it. Costume or not, we still had a blast! We went to Heidi Klum’s 17th Annual Halloween Party in The Village. It was so epic seeing so many celebrities. I’m hoping to stumble across some pictures of Wyatt and I in the background of the paparazzi photos. Hehe.

With Love,

When In SoHo

NYC was pleasantly hit with a wave of sunshine after a week full freezing wet weather. I was happy I hadn’t put away my summer pieces, not that I have anywhere to put them in our tiny one bedroom apartment but still happy I didn’t give up on them too early. On this perfect 70 degree day, Wyatt and I had breakfast in SoHo and explored the area before he had to rush off to work. I walked past an actor from one of my favorite movies in high school, spent some time on Prince street and did a little shopping. Soho is like another world. Since living in New York I’ve discovered that I enjoy lower Manhattan more than any part of the island. It’s so peaceful and looks like a movie set on every corner.

Vintage Shopping

Posted on October 21, 2016 by karissaestrada

Wyatt and I did an impromptu photo shoot right outside the most epic pop-up vintage fashion market in Brooklyn where I met THEE Stacy London from “What Not To Wear.” She was incredible by the way, so humble and kind. Fun Fact: When I was young I would watch “What Not To Wear” over and over and it was the first time I decided that I wanted a future in fashion.

It was a rainy day in Brooklyn. Every step was a puddle. If you look closely you can see raindrops in these photos, frozen in time. I loved this day of exploring Brooklyn with my husband. I love rainy days! It makes me feel less guilty about wanting to stay inside and watch movies all day. It’s been proven, no matter what miraculous city I live in, I will always remain a homebody.

With Love,

An Autumn Story

Posted on October 13, 2016 by karissaestrada

Rich magentas and deep olive greens go hand in hand to create the perfect Autumn story. We shot these pictures after a freezing rainstorm in New York City that we thought would never end. Once the sun finally came out, we were relieved to see the sky again. It was the perfect sunset moment that we had to capture. I’m in love with the way theses photos turned out regardless of the hard hitting wind and cold temperatures. It helps to have a hottie husband behind the camera.
