Creating Cozy

November 23, 2020,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I put the finishing touches on this dress in time for my trip to Portland and it’s one of my favorite creations so far! I think the faux fur is an unusual fabric choice for a dress, but you know how much I love unique textures. On top of being visually interesting, it’s incredibly warm…Read More

Determined Damsel

by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve had this vintage Prada bustier for years and have always styled it with edgy outfits. In this look I play on hard and soft with the dominatrix top and the princess tulle skirt. It would pair well with a leather jacket and a fur stole alike. Rebecca and I have a history of shooting…Read More

From left to right: 1) One of Graciela Rivas’s designs at her show on Friday. 2) The Boston Opera house for a performance of Cinderella. 3) About as fancy a breakfast as I can make. 4) Really cool sculptures at the DTR gallery on Newbury. 5) Can’t go wrong with a lemon raspberry cupcake! 6) Graciela Rivas’s own wedding dress on display at the show.

Modern Cinderella

February 3, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I think the reason I was so initially attracted to this dress is because it looks a lot like the Disney Cinderella dress. Growing up she was my favorite princess and this dress with the light blue color, black accents, and floaty hemline is like an updated version of hers. Even as a quasi-grownup in…Read More

A Kind of Fairytale

November 16, 2012,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

A few weeks ago, while shopping for Halloween costumes, I came across the most gorgeous green tutu. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. The sheer layers, overwhelming volume, and knee length instantly brought images of a fairytale to my mind. I started forming a vision for a photo…Read More
