Leftover Leaves

February 1, 2021,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

As you can tell from the beautiful leaves, this outfit is a holdover from the fall! I found this gem of a dress at Goodwill and it works perfectly with my tropical leaf face mask. In the winter I throw on a fur stole and some tights and go on my way. Dress: Goodwill, Flats:…Read More

The Power of Pink

January 4, 2021,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

This is my latest creation and I’m so happy with the way it came out! It’s my trusty 50s style pattern but reinvented with this pink microsuede, a slightly longer length, and a new waist tie style. The dress also pairs well with this face mask I got from Gateway Arts!  Dress: Handmade, fabric from…Read More

I made this coat from a vintage ’50s swing coat pattern, but I gave it a modern upgrade in this cozy and lightweight fleece. I’m so happy with the way it turned out! This is my first time working with fleece so I still have a lot to learn, but I think it was a…Read More

by Celina[zilla_likes]

Okay it’s not exactly a poodle skirt but it’s sure built like one! This is my new favorite midi skirt from Nordstrom Rack. It’s so elegant but the bright pink gives it a playful edge. I paired it with a grey turtleneck sweater to accommodate the chilly weather and my go-to nude t-strap heels. Sweater:…Read More

Seeing Spots

March 24, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Once in a while I have to step away from the trendy and get back to the classic. The other day Boston hit the 50 degree mark and to celebrate I put on a retro polka dot dress and a classic trench. But it wouldn’t be a Celina outfit without a little something extra, so…Read More
