The Blue in My Eyes

May 11, 2022,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Spring has been slow to arrive this year, but that is allowing me to utilize my coats for a while longer. This one in a rich cobalt tweed with faux fur sleeves won great appreciation at a dinner I went to hosted by Quebec tourism. I paired it with similar tones (love a monochrome look…Read More

Rhapsody in Blue

June 29, 2020,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I finished another outfit! This piece is from a vintage early ’60s pattern and it’s one of the more advanced looks I’ve made so far. I’m delighted with the way it turned out. This is the kind of dress I always want to buy and can never quite find. That’s one of the perks of…Read More

I paired the look with my new favorite leather jacket and a statement shoe. As the weather gets colder I may try…Read More

by Celina[zilla_likes]

As the weather gets warmer my impulse is always to grab a comfortable, easy dress in the morning. It needs to be pulled together enough to wear to work, but flexible enough to take to the esplanade for a bottle of wine and some cheese after hours. I have a collection of standbys for this…Read More
