The EPIC Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The EPIC Nordstrom Anniversary Sale featured by popular Indianapolis fashion blogger, Karina Style Diaries

The happiest sale of the year is now on for cardholders: THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE!! If you're not a cardholder click here to open one and shop the best sale of the year now! What's special about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? It's all brand new fall merchandise 40% off for a limited time to kick off fall shopping!! My biggest tip to shop is: go ahead and buy what you want, everything flies out of the shelves. You can always try them on at home and return what doesn't work out (hopefully you'll do it in a nice time frame!) I also suggest you invest in the statement pieces first - aka stuff that doesn't typically go on sale until later in the season.

sassy queen boutique summer graphic tees - Summer Graphic Tees + Life Update featured by popular Indianapolis style blogger, Karina Style Diaries

Hey boys and gals, it's been a hot minute but I'm here. Alive, positive (with a couple of struggles here and there) and working on the healthy side of things. Initially, this post was supposed to be about the cutest summer graphic tees from Sassy Queen Boutique. But as life has it's surprising ways, it turns out I'll be going to more deep subjects. First things first, summer graphic tees are a great canvas to any outfit and a way of making a statement or show off your personality in a cute way! Sassy Queen Boutique has a great selection of fun and entertaining phrases for all tastes and interests. Their differential, however, is that you can select the color of fabric, the color of letters, the shape (muscle tee, crew neck, etc) and so many…

VICI Collection Summer Dresses

Karina Reske, Karina Style Diaries

I've recently partnered with VICI Collection on Instagram to feature a few summer dresses, but I LOVED these outfits so so much I thought it'd be a shame to not share them here on the blog as well. I'd love to know if you agree with me :) This cotton maxi dress is a show stopper (like is it just me who thinks that?!) I love that it comes with a loose belt so I can tie the waist and make it fitted. You have the option of tieing to the back as well for less bulk. It has a deep v-neck in front and back. The ruffle detail on the sleeve as well as on the hem make it that much more girly but still so chic. basilica cotton maxi white dress // marena faux suede heels…

Wide striped pants

We couldn’t be more excited about the arrival of spring. Spring is all about awakening – the awakening of nature, the awakening of ourselves, the awakening of fashion. It’s very difficult to choose the wardrobe essentials for a specific season as the choices tend to be very subjective. For some people, it’s the always popular must-haves, such as the little black dress or a regular white T-shirt that can never go out of fashion and can be worn at all times. Other people, however, include all the popular trends into their essential spring collection – items that are trendy at that very moment. Here, we have a list of the five top statement pieces for spring. Some are popular at the moment and will be in the years to come as well, while some…

Magnolia boutique

Just got back from an enjoyable morning with the Magnolia Boutique ladies at their headquarters on the south side on Indy! I did a try-on sesh with the cutest Spring Styles. If you've missed it head on to their stories.  As promised I will show you a couple of my favorite spring looks from this morning. The first is one of their best sellers, and pretty much a staple for the busy gal who wants to look polished without trying too hard. This curved hem halter top maxi dress in dusty pink is as soft as it looks. A great style to wear belted or unbelted. Changing the accessories will give new life to the dress. It's so incredibly versatile! I'm wearing a size small. It comes in S, M and L. It also comes in…

The Perfect White Easter Dress

Easter outfit gingham shoes - White Easter dress and gingham shoes styled by popular Indianapolis fashion blogger, Karina Style Diaries

Easter is literally a few days away and I'm so ready! To kick off this Holy Week I want to celebrate the resurrection of Christ in style and in humbleness. Wearing my Sunday's best white Easter dress AND having nothing but gratitude to show! I love Easter for so many reasons, colorful pastels, and sweet feelings. This is the season of the purples and lilacs, and I love it. But I do understand it might not be the best color for everyone. Also, it won't give you the same longevity as a neutral color. So I decided to style my very beloved (not to say old) Little White Dress!! This white Easter dress is at least 5 years old and I wear it EVERY spring and summer, multiple times. Now that's something fast-fashion won't give…
