Classic

Mrs. Onassis

February 3, 2020,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’m a big thrift and vintage shopper. And when I spotted this Jackie O. style coat at Bobby From Boston (one of the best vintage stores in the area) I fell in love. In the photo below you can see the piece in its original form (with matching red leather gloves!). Later on, to keep…Read More

Mad About Marilyn

November 4, 2019,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve had this skirt probably since college and let me tell you, it never gets old. Nothing like Marilyn Monroe to make a sartorial statement. Here I’ve styled it simply with a black long-sleeved tee and flats. The belt adds some additional visual interest without competing with the print for attention. And of course, a…Read More

Bathing Beauty

September 4, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’m no Botticelli Venus emerging from the half shell but I do know swimwear and the final installment of the Swimsuit Series is a retro look. I love the high waisted style and you can’t go wrong with red and white polka dots. This is a nice compromise between a bikini and a one piece, it still has…Read More

Once in a while I have to step away from the trendy and get back to the classic. The other day Boston hit the 50 degree mark and to celebrate I put on a retro polka dot dress and a classic trench. But it wouldn’t be a Celina outfit without a little something extra, so…Read More

Meet My Boyfriend (Jeans)

March 16, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Despite the light snow we got last night I still feel like spring is coming to Boston. Most of the snow piles have melted, the temperatures are slowly rising, and Bostonians are transitioning from six layers of clothing to only two or three. To celebrate I broke out these Boyfriend jeans I’ve been dying to…Read More

Oreo Cookies

January 23, 2015,
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
