Obscure Books in Obscure Places

August 23, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I take a book with me everywhere. It could be a black-tie event, you can bet I stuffed a paperback into that clutch. When I was younger I used to read in trees cause I wanted to be like Johnny Appleseed. (I grew up in New Hampshire, what can you do?) Now one of my…Read More

Hiro

January 15, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Our next step in the Artist Series is the photographer Yasuhiro Wakabayashi, professionally known as Hiro. Hiro is a fashion photographer with a bold aesthetic that’s still widely influential. He began work in the mid ’50s and is still active today. Much of his work has an edgy, modern feel to it, perhaps because he worked…Read More

I found this champagne-colored silk top at a thrift store in Pennsylvania and it’s quickly become my new favorite. It’s so chic but so easy to wear.

by Celina[zilla_likes]

I get mistaken for staff at bookstores and libraries on the regular. I don’t correct people, but rather use it as an opportunity to spread the word about my favorite authors (“I think what you really need is some Nabokov”). I can’t blame the shoppers, my style sometimes has a very librarian-chic slant to it….Read More

Oreo Cookies

by Celina[zilla_likes]

I can’t get enough of this all-black ensemble. I know, I know, how many times have you heard me say that. But this one has been on rotation even more than usual. The leather pants add some always-needed edge but the sweater is soft and cozy. The hat gives the look extra warmth and added…Read More
