Cozy Weather

November 18, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

It’s starting to get cooler here in Boston which means I’m pulling out the big guns. On days when I wake up late or am feeling uninspired my go-to winter look is a sweater dress and lace tights. It’s comfortable and warm but also visually interesting. These tights have been with me since high school…Read More

Celina Ballerina

February 27, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Maybe it’s because I’ve been watching too much Gossip Girl, but I’ve felt the need to dress über feminine lately. This bun-and-bow combination did the trick. It’s a cute, unexpected way to add a little detail to my favorite hairstyle.  Shirt: H&M, Skirt: Forever21, Tights: TJ Maxx, Flats: Tahari, Necklace: Gifted, Bow: H&M Photos by Jamie…Read More

Four Eyes

I love quirky prints but sometimes they feel a little too trite (i.e. the mustache trend) so I’ve avoided investing in a piece like that.

We snapped these photos in the modern art wing of the MFA Boston. I think the modern wing is often overlooked and it has some really incredible pieces. Please by Jeppe Hein is a crowd favorite so I had to take a photo with it! Dress: Wet Seal Tight: TJ Maxx Hat: Forever21 Shoes: Christian…Read More

Sur Les Pointes

August 15, 2012,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I love the many girly details in this outfit, butterflies, bows, the schoolgirl style skirt, the t-strap heel, my pink toenails. The first thing I thought of when I saw it all together and paired with a bun was a quintessentially feminine and elegant image: a ballerina. Skirt: H&M Top: Forever21 Shoes: TJ Maxx Bracelets:…Read More

Schoolgirl Sass

I love the sassy vibe of this pleated faux-leather skirt, and these leopard print heels. I love the way leather and Tiffany blue look together and adding that girly pop of print at the bottom completed the look perfectly. Shirt: H&M Skirt: H&M Shoes: Steve Madden via Wearhouse Necklace: Gifted Photo courtesy of Devan Chirgwin.
