Knotted in NYC

Posted on August 25, 2016 by karissaestrada

I’ve noticed a shift with my outfitting lately. It’s like subconsciously preparing myself for fall by reaching for my richer shades like this burnt orange jumpsuit here. I’ve completely fallen for this jumpsuit but I’ve definitely fallen for the price! It was just $25. This jumpsuit is perfect for NYC on the go. It’s a little bit too big for me right now so until I get it taken in to a tailor I’ve just been doing this little trick that I’ve done since I was a little girl: Tie a knot duh. I actually kind of prefer it with the knotted detail. It’s exactly what it needed.

Let’s talk hair:

Ugh. Hair. My never ending struggle. Thank God my mom is a hairstylist or else I would be a wreck. Since I haven’t seen my mom or gotten my hair cut in about two months, my hair has been in such a rough state. I’m ALMOST wishing it was a little longer so that it was easier to style but I’ve been managing by putting it in this chic and effortless pony. It’s really all my hair can handle in this humidity so… there’s that.

Lemonade In NYC

Posted on August 15, 2016 by karissaestrada

New York summers are unlike any other summer. Beautiful but HOT. HOT.HOT. Some ice cold lemonade and a sweet yellow dress will get your through it, trust me. I have faith that my hair and my skin will get used to the humidity even if I’m a complete mess at the moment. My poor hair, no matter the hairspray or dry shampoo, can’t last 5 minutes. This Yankees hat has been a lifesaver. I’ve noticed hair isn’t that much of a priority amongst New York women. If that’s the case, I know I will fit right in.

Back to the heat: The only way my makeup will survive the moist, hot subways is if I really set and even “bake” my makeup. Baking your makeup means: After foundation is applied, a thick coat of light powder is applied to the face (under the eyes, cheekbones, bridge of the nose, chin, and forehead for definition), and is left on to figuratively “cook” for 10 to 30 minutes into the skin from body heat.

The matte-er your makeup the better or else this humidity will evaporate it in seconds!

A Day In Chicago

Posted on August 5, 2016 by karissaestrada

I absolutely LOVED Chicago. Wyatt and I had never been but we heard such good things. It was beyond what we had imagined. I just wished we had more time to explore. We managed to stroll all up and down Michigan Avenue stopping by “The Bean” and The Art Institute. The humid hot weather was a shock for us coming from dry Denver but other than that we had a blast. We had a clear afternoon as far activities went so we obviously did a little shopping. We ate dinner at Lou Malnati’s where I devoured the best spaghetti I have ever had. (Yes, seriously: THE BEST SPAGHETTI.) We ended our night with a movie downtown and some delicious ice-cream. We originally planned on going to a Cubs game but we needed to get back to the hotel where we left Finely for the day.

Overall, we give Chicago a thumbs up. We can’t wait to go back to see the architecture, old buildings, Wrigley field and much more.

Girly Details

Posted on July 30, 2016 by karissaestrada

On a recent date night out with my super hot husband I wore this extremely girly blouse and pink bow shoes with a touch of distressed denim. It was a quick and spontaneous date night so I didn’t have time to figure out the outfit details. I threw on this beyond gorgeous blouse that I got in the mail that day and when I’m in a time crunch I reach for my comfort zone denim-distressed boyfriend jeans. I recently scored these super sweet and feminine mules and it was the perfect moment to bring them out to play. I absolutely love the mix of the sea foam green with the blush. It makes for the perfect feminine ensemble. I won’t be surprised if I wear this exact outfit again in the future. It’s a favorite already.

Easy Breezy Jumpsuit

Posted on July 27, 2016 by karissaestrada

Put me in a jumpsuit and I’m forever happy. A striped one, a blue one, a red one, a black one, a strapless one, a button-up one, and even back baring one…I’m all for it. I can’t tell you enough how much I’m obsessed with jumpsuits. They’re so trendy and easy to wear. You don’t even have to try to be fashion forward in them because, girl, you already are. They take all the work out of planning an outfit because they’re statement enough. Since I began my journey with jumpsuits, I’ve accumulated more than I can even mention but there always seems to be one that comes out that I absolutely have to have. This breezy, skin baring jumpsuit is absolutely perfect for summer and perfect for a day at the beach.
