Fashion Blogger On A Break

Posted on April 25, 2015 by karissaestrada

Here’s a typical Friday night outfit for me. It’s minimal, edgy and sleek. I normally attempt a simple yet striking look like this when Wyatt and I want to have a nice dinner and movie date but lately it seems like I’m stuck in my sweats. I don’t know what my deal is because I’m not someone who lives in loungewear. I think it’s normal to not want to get up, dressed, put makeup on every single day but it’s definitely got my spirits a little down because I’m usually someone who looks like I have it all together (on the outside at least.). I do have a lot, and I mean LOT, going on in my personal life that is making me more and more exhausted so I should just take this time to focus on my insides rather than my appearance. I really think this should just be a reminder to everyone to really focus on your inner health just as much as you focus on your outer beauty. AM I RIGHT LADIES? Whatever junk and bad energy you have going on inside will definitely reflect in your appearance. My mom has always said that looking good and feeling confident on the outside starts with being healthy on the inside. One thing that really makes me feel amazing and also makes my skin glow is coconut water. I’m absolutely loving it. I drink at least one bottle a day to keep me hydrated. That was just a little fitness and health tip that will probably never happen again here on my blog. I’m not someone you should copy your diet after. I eat nothing but bad food mixed with a salad and coconut water here and there. Ha!

I really shouldn’t take these days of sweat pants and hair in bun for granted. Those are the days where I get more stuff done around the house but more importantly, I feel more relaxed and I finally have the time and ability to really focus on my mind, body and spirit.

Let’s just say I’m not a fashion blogger 24/7, I’m also a girl that loves to live in her black leggings and no bra. I need a break too.

With Love,

P.S. If you don’t follow me on social media than you probably don’t know how ecstatic I am about having a small feature in Marie Claire magazine. Yes. Marie Claire! I was just browsing through the pages late at night and I saw my name at the bottom corner of the page towards to beginning of the book and just FREAKED OUT. My name and my picture are in a fashion magazine. Never thought I would say that. Now I’m just waiting for the day Marie Claire hires me. Wouldn’t that be nice?

The Best Jumpsuit of All Time

Posted on April 23, 2015 by karissaestrada

I bought this fabulous tropical inspired jumpsuit in the middle of winter thinking that it would make winter go by faster. No not at all. After nearly months of watching it just wilt away in my closet, I finally got the chance to wear this sweet jumpsuit of mine out and about in the city. Unfortunately, I picked the windiest day of the year to wear it and take pictures but that’s my luck and I’m used to it. Wyatt and I did our best to have patience with the wind and take some of the shots when the wind died for half of a second. Everyone thinks that photo shoots are so glamourous but trust me, there’s a lot of factors that can ruin a shot and eventually, my mood. Wyatt and I pulled it off and I just hope we did this jumpsuit justice because it truly is the coolest jumpsuit I own. I normally stay away from tribal prints but I’ve proven myself wrong time and time again. I will try anything (fashion-ly speaking) once. I cannot wait for the day that I can take it with me on a tropical vacation because that’s where this bad boy belongs. Somewhere on the beach with my toes in the water. Ahh… I can see it now.

Ok back to reality.

If you’ve been seeing this jumpsuit all around Instagram and think you might need it in your life, I strongly recommend that you try it on in store first. It fits everyone differently. I got lucky with this jumpsuit and didn’t have to take it to a tailor but you might have to underneath the arms. I got a 00Petite for those that are curious!

Sweet & Simple

Posted on April 21, 2015 by karissaestrada

There’s a little bit of something sweet in this post. I can’t quite put my finger on it. I don’t know if it’s the nude, glossy lip or the frilly hair accessory but I think a look like this is perfect for my young, high school and/or middle school subscribers. This outfit won’t get you sent to the principles office for being inappropriate, that’s for sure. I know I’ve been sent there once or twice because I totally disagreed on the length of my shorts or dress but we’ve all been there right? This look is conservative, fun and once again…sweet. It’s great inspiration for my younger audience but I can definitely see this ensemble looking fabulous for all ages. I love how well chambray and mustard yellow mesh together. I think this specific color combo is ideal for Spring AND Fall. They are perfect transition colors to make outfitting a lot easier from season to season. Call me an outfit repeater but I’ll be wearing this look during the fall as well. Not to be corny, but I’m going to leave this post as it is, short and sweet. Talk to you all soon.

Indigo Girl

Posted on April 19, 2015 by karissaestrada

Just call me Indigo Girl.

Here’s yet another post showcasing my obsession with the Indigo trend. Like I said before, I dive head first into trends because that’s the only way to really know what you love and what you don’t love. Indigo? Ya, I love. Some clothing items don’t shine very bright when they’re hanging on a hanger. This romper was one of those pieces. It was displayed as an Indigo blob of nothing important but as it turns out it’s currently one of my favorite pieces in my closet. This is why it is so important to give a piece of clothing a chance and try them on. I don’t know about you but this romper screams spring and summer. I’m pretty sure that I wore this little guy 3 times last week because it’s so easy to pull of and not to mention comfortable. Based on experience and feedback this romper suits the smaller chested the best. Ladies with a larger bust have mentioned some major tugging in that area. Every once in awhile my smaller chest takes the win. I would be devastated if this romper didn’t work because it’s going to be summer go to with a classic red lip. Be prepared to see this romper on my Instagram a lot. Speaking of which, go follow me @karissamariie

An Athletic Touch

Posted on April 15, 2015 by karissaestrada

I will admit once in awhile that I need to give my feet a little break. Those poor things have gotten beaten up their entire life. After dancing for about 15 years, I went straight to heels. They’ve never ever had a chance to breathe. I started to notice some nerve pain and I restricted myself from wearing any painful shoes for about a week so that my little footsies can recover. It’s nearly impossible for me to pick out an outfit and that outfit not to be elevated by heels. I knew it would be a challenge but I loved how my high school Nike’s saved the day and actually made the outfit really unique and fun. I really love the idea of throwing on some tennis shoes with a really sophisticated outfit. It’s unexpected and you all know I love that! My lovely Nike’s took this look to a sporty level with it’s small but noticeable athletic touch. I was able to do my thing with comfort and sass.

That’s all for now. I’m falling asleep while typing this. It’s been a long day and will be an even longer day tomorrow so I need to get my zzz’s. One thing that I wanted to mention was that I’m reading “Paper Towns” by John Green and OH MY GOSH, I’m hooked. I love reading books before the movie. It’s so satisfying. This is the first book I’ve had the chance to read in a year. I love reading. I don’t know why I ever stopped. If any of you have any recommendations for the next book I should read please feel free to comment below! I really love mysteries and love stories but I’m open to anything.
