Oh So Delightful

Posted on July 8, 2015 by karissaestrada

I just need to mention how long my hair is right now! It didn’t grow fast by any means, heck it’s been almost a year since I chopped it off but I’m so pleased at the length that’s its at right now. It’s at that “fashion bob” stage and I think that’s where I like it best. I’ve done the short and the long version and this is by far the most maintainable and “me” cut. My hair has never been so full and healthy and I owe all that to my talented hairstylist, my mother. She takes such good care of my hair and never allows me to damaged it. Never will I ever go lighter again because it took literally years after I did the infamous ombré thing to my hair. I’ll stick with the chocolate brown hair-do for as long as possible. I would love to be a redhead tho. Maybe in a another lifetime right?

Okay enough about hair. Let’s talk fashion, I mean that’s why you’re here right? I actually don’t have much to say besides the fact that I’m absolutely obsessed with this off the shoulder top and I wish I could wear it every single day of my life. This outfit might just be my “go to” summer outfit when I’m just feeling fun and casual. I will definitely take this outfit to a Rockies game and fun backyard barbecue. Be prepared to see this top in the near future. I just love it so much because it’s oh so delightful.

Casual Holiday Outfit

Posted on July 2, 2015 by karissaestrada

With Independence Day coming up, I wanted to show my excitement and support but in the most understated and minimal kind of way. A lot of people love to dress up in the obvious classic red, white and blue (me being one of the them) but this year I decided to go for a more laid-back kind of look. Nothing says “I’m ready for hot dogs, barbecue, summer drinks and back yard chillin” like boyfriend jeans and a midi top. Am I right? Every year around the 4th of July, I usually go for the obvious choice of a bright red dress or stripes from head to toe but since I’ll be spending this holiday moving into my new place (Yes, I’m moving again. I cannot stay in one place.) I’d much rather be comfortable in my converse than all dressed up and no where to go. I’m very excited to be spending my holiday with my one and only, watching the fireworks on our rooftop and just enjoying each other’s company, like always.

Everyone have a fabulous and safe 4th of July.

With Love,

Oh Boy, Another Jumpsuit

Posted on June 29, 2015 by karissaestrada

I have added yet another jumpsuit to my jumpsuit collection. The spandex-jersey material on this one makes it by far one of the comfiest jumpsuits that I own. I could easily confuse it with loungewear because of it’s exceptional comfort factor. Day after day, I search for more and more prints and more and more patterns of jumpsuits that I can add to my wardrobe. Obsessed is an understatement. I live in jumpsuits because they are the easiest to dress up or down. The elastic band that holds this jumpsuit together is so breathable that I could easily rock this outfit in the future when I’m pregnant (minus the belt, of course.) At first, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the print but after awhile I realized it’s okay to go with neutral colors and leave my lipstick responsible for the pop of statement color. I’ll be wearing this outfit to work then date night (and maybe even to sleep) because it’s that comfortable and movable. What I love the most about this look is my new favorite necklace that I have been eyeing for weeks. Since the moment I finally decided to purchase this jeweled beauty I have been going above and beyond to find tops and dresses that match. I think this jumpsuit was made for this necklace leaving the entire look with a tropical, summer vibe.

Who doesn’t love that?

That 70’s Skirt

Posted on June 26, 2015 by karissaestrada

This post is for those minimal but trendy ladies out there. I always love adding easy, breezy outfits to my blog because it’s very likely that you own similar pieces in your own closets. I’m sure you have a grey crop top and denim skirt… and if you don’t, you should because they are all the rage right now. The 70’s styled denim skirt is so popular at the moment, every store has recently came out with their own versions of it. I also see them every single time I check my Instagram. I feel like I belong on a modern day version of “That 70’s Show.”

One thing I do recommend if you choose to be inspired by this outfit post is to LEAVE THE LEATHER JACKET AT HOME. It was 80 something degrees outside and I was close to having a heat stroke while taking these pictures. I just wanted the jacket for dramatic effect but I nearly died. (Exaggeration is my specialty, can you tell?)

Have a fabulous day! See you next time!

With Love,

Pretty Woman

Posted on June 20, 2015 by karissaestrada

How could I pass up a chance to be Julia Roberts on the movie, “Pretty Woman” for a day? I remember watching this movie when I was little with my mom and ever since then I have been on the hunt for the perfect polka dot dress. I tried my best to transform the infamous 1990’s outfit to more of a modern day, minimal look with a sleek leather jacket and hair in a low bun. I had no idea that I would be one to purchase a brown colored dress. I don’t think I own any brown clothing to be honest. It’s just not the most flattering color to wear but when you throw in some polka dots here and there, it’s automatically chic. I can’t wait to add more browns to my collection. I hope more people hop on this trend because it’s so unique.

Not only is the color of this dress out of my comfort zone but the low back feature is a whole ‘nother story. I NEVER buy anything with a low back because that just means finding a bra to wear them with. I’d rather be comfy and wear my normal bra than be uncomfortable in a back baring ensemble. I decided to take the risk and purchase this dress anyway because why not. I think I was so drawn to the fact that it reminded me so much of “Pretty Woman” I was blinded by the low back. I found a sticky bra (that’s surprisingly comfortable) and all my problems were solved.

I don’t think you understand how satisfied I feel knowing that I own a brown polka dot dress. Feeling like a pretty woman in this dress is a understatement…that’s for sure.
