Casual “Go To” Everyday Outfit

Posted on May 25, 2015 by karissaestrada

Before we talk about this incredibly comfortable and easy to pull off outfit, I just had to mention the struggle it was taking these photos. Wyatt and I had the busiest day on this particular day. Running errands, heading to appointments and meetings. I actually don’t remember eating on this day because of all the things we needed to accomplish. I really wanted to take these photos regardless of what was going on and when we finally made time, it started to rain. I’ve been having a love-hate relationship with the rainy weather lately. You might be able to tell in these photos that it was raining but we didn’t care. I’m so pleased at how these photos turned out regardless of how complicated our day was. I’m one happy and exhausted blogger.

Okay, let’s talk fashion.

This outfit might be my definition of casual everyday perfection. It has all the special elements that I look for in an outfit. Comfort from my favorite pair of jeans. Boldness from my statement heels. Trendy from my off the shoulder top. I added a fedora because I knew it needed a little something extra. If a look like this can conquer the crazy day that I had then I think that just shows how wearable it is. I will most definitely be wearing this outfit again soon.

The Ice Cream Shop

Posted on May 1, 2015 by karissaestrada

Why is this post going up later than normal you ask? Because I didn’t sleep for a straight week (Not exaggerating) and now that I’m finally able to sleep again I’m taking full advantage and I slept nearly 12 hours last night. Ahh. There is nothing better than getting a good nights sleep. Okay back to the post. I’m a huge sucker for co-ordinates. I love the look of them. They might just be the easiest, chicest thing that anyone can pull off. I’m always on the hunt for some good co-ordinate outfits but can never really find the right pair. Since I’m still on this Indigo kick, I didn’t hesitate purchasing this denim outfit from Urban Outfitters. Not only does it scream summer but it also screams “Take me to the ice cream shop!” So that’s what I did. I really think co-ordinate outfits are prefect for nearly every occasion but even more so for vacations! Easy to pack and easy to pull off. In other news, I’m almost to 11K on Instagram…Go follow me!

Styling Shorts In Spring Time

Posted on April 13, 2015 by karissaestrada

Now that Spring is in full motion and we’re all ready to bust out our short shorts, here’s some inspiration for you on those inspiration-less days. I absolutely love wearing sweaters with shorts. I know at some point during the day, whether it be mornings or evenings, I will get a little chilly. Spring time doesn’t guarantee perfect weather so I like to play it safe and hold back on my tank tops just a little bit longer. That, and I just don’t want to say goodbye to my favorite pullovers. To me, the perfect combo is a relaxed sweater, distressed shorts, and my favorite summer heels. It’s a nearly bulletproof combination. If you’re ever in the mood to lightly spruce up your outfit, throw on a long dainty necklace, a fedora and SHA-BANG! You’re looking fine and fierce.

I hardly ever talk about dressing for my body type or your body type because it’s something that I don’t totally agree with. I think no matter what, big or small, curvy or thin, you should wear whatever you feel like wearing. Shapeless dresses, short shorts, or whatever else you can think of that’s controversial and pertains to only certain body types is hoopla to me. I will wear that makes me feel good and THAT’S THAT! I forgot where I was going with that…give me a second…it will come back to me…………………. OH! I was going to say that there are no rules anymore but if you do have an area of your body that you’re not the biggest fan of, there are ways to manipulate it. For example, I’m insecure about my long, thin arms. I don’t like them so I like to find ways to make them go away or look more full. I did that today by wearing a sweater that’s just half a size too big and scrunched it up to my elbows. It’s like magic. Now the focus can go to my legs rather than my arms and I feel so much more confident.

Tip of the Day: Don’t settle for looks that don’t bring out the best in you. We don’t have time for that.

A Pink & Denim Cocktail

Posted on April 9, 2015 by karissaestrada

Any kind of cocktail sounds good right about now. (Just a few more months and I can finally enjoy one legally. Hallejua.) Okay, before I get too off track and ramble about alcohol mixtures that I know nothing about, let’s talk about my outfit. I’ve officially brought out my pinks, magentas, and purples. I think April is all about these girly set of colors. It’s that time of the year to love on our floral prints again and rock an eye-catching pink skirt. Why? Because we’re girls, that’s why. There’s something about a floral print on a guy that makes me mumble underneath my breath, “Yesssssss.” The contraction mixed with the masculinity makes most girl swoon. Or maybe it’s just me, I don’t know. It’s like a guy saying, “Hey. I can be sensitive and I like flowers too.” If only I could get Wyatt to wear even the most subtle floral print top. He would throw a fit.

What I love about the month of April is that natures beauty and color comes back alive. I’m all giddy inside knowing that the trees are blooming again. “A fresh beginning” takes a whole new meaning when the flowers and trees say hello to us after months and months of absence. Speaking of fresh beginnings, I possibly have a few new, exciting, and life-changing beginnings this month that involve my work and some other personal things. I only hope and pray that these beginnings challenge me in the best kind of way and help me become the person that I’m meant to be. I already know that there will be a few trial and error moments but I think I can handle a few set backs considering what I’ve been through the past 3 years. I’m more excited/nervous at what’s about to go down in my personal life and I hope someday I can have the courage to share it with all of you. I’ve been vlogging every step so far and even if the video never sees the light of day, I only hope that it has a good ending.

| Sole Serum |

Posted on March 26, 2015 by karissaestrada

Day in and day out I get asked how I’m able to wear heels all day long. To be honest, I’m like most women and I do get foot pain. I’m just able to sacrifice my comfort so I can wear my favorite heels. Heels make me feel beautiful. It may sound silly but they not only elevate every single look you wear, but they bring confidence that a normal flat couldn’t, just couldn’t. No matter the amount of blisters, red marks, and band-aids I still would much rather opt for heels. Those painful days are over ladies! I would hate for other women to not feel the way I do in heels because of their discomfort, so here’s my secret.

Let me introduce you to Sole Serum– “A serum that targets foot pain relief. With the power of lidocaine and a soothing combination of natural oils and extracts, Sole Serum takes away your daily aches and pains. Just simply apply a small amount when you start feel discomfort. Your feet will be free of pain for up to two hours per use. Whether you’re standing on your feet all day, running errands, or simply making your way through the work day, foot pain can occur in even the most comfortable and sensible shoes. Sole Serum is the perfect solution, with its blend of natural and active ingredients to safely relieve foot pain for up to two hours per use. The power of lidocaine not only blocks the foot’s pain signals from reaching the brain, but also helps to reduce inflammation. It also includes natural ingredients to help soothe your skin and leave your feet feeling refreshed. Your feet will thank you!” Click | here | to read more about their philosophy.

But here’s my philosophy: Wear whatever makes you feel beautiful because life is WAY too short to not to.
