Flannel Feeling

December 16, 2020,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Given the blizzard we’re expecting tonight in Boston, I thought this cozy, winter look would be timely. I layered this statement coat over a navy blue monochrome look. I love the way the tulle, flannel, and knit textures work together to create such a cozy look. Flannel is one of my weaknesses as a New…Read More

Floral Fantasy

April 22, 2019,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

It’s finally esplanade season again and I’m beyond excited. I’ve been hanging on to this dress for weeks knowing that I couldn’t wear it until the weather warmed up. This morning it paired perfectly with my lace parasol from Burano for a stroll along the water.  Dress: Primark, Parasol: purchased in Burano, Italy, Shoes: Primark…Read More

by Celina[zilla_likes]

My cousin Maggie and I bought matching polka dot dresses at Old Navy and it’s quickly become one of my favorites.

I’ve been all about the monochrome life lately. It’s a great way to make an unexpectedly chic outfit. Or to flash your street…Read More

This year I’m launching my “Look Like a Local” campaign (#looklikealocal). For each of my trips I’ll partner with a different, accessible brand, and style their clothes to match the local trends. Last week I was in Curacao, an island off the coast of Venezuela. I partnered with new, female-run online boutique Ivy Staple to…Read More

Made With Love

January 10, 2018,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

My mom and I made this dress from scratch using a vintage ’50s pattern. And by “we” made it, I mean she mostly made it after I got bored and frustrated. It’s a unique pleasure to have a piece of clothing that was made just for you, but even more so when it was made…Read More
