Sixties Chic

April 12, 2021,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

The sixties didn’t have a lot of silhouettes that work for me, so I’m not one to pick up those items. But I couldn’t resist this organza, polka dot dream. In addition to a high style factor, it’s very easy to wear. I never turn down a fashionable outfit that I can comfortably eat in!…Read More

Hard & Soft

by Celina[zilla_likes]

Another play with textures today, pairing this edgy leather top with a soft, floaty floral. Bringing in textural elements elevates an otherwise basic black-and-white look. Top: SheIn, Skirt: Thrifted, Flats: Primark, Face Mask: Pirouette

Naturally I wanted to dress the part. In homage to the great artist I wore black and white, her preferred…Read More

Student Becomes the Master

November 27, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

In this look I’m taking my favorite elements of schoolgirl style, plaid, turtlenecks, and neutrals, and upgrading them with a sophisticated sheath silhouette. Full disclosure I borrowed this dress from my photographer Rebecca Gatto, she’s a full service gal! As an on-the-run journalist I find myself more and more trying to accommodate function into my…Read More

Think Pink

January 17, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Wearing this matching bubblegum coat and hat reminds me of the “Think Pink!” scene in Funny Face. Aside from being aesthetically stunning, it’s a poignant portrait of the fashion industry where the editors dictate trends to the masses but never wear them themselves. I paired mine with a graphic black-and-white top, leather leggings, and a…Read More
