Show Me Your Skull

March 2, 2020,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Sometimes a girl’s just got to get a little creepy. That doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice style. I’ve styled this skull print bodycon dress in three different ways to show how you can wear a piece like this without looking like a goth middle schooler. The accessories make all the difference! Dress: c/o FemmeLux,…Read More

Fresh off the Mayflower

February 26, 2020,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I call this look ‘Edgy Pilgrim’ because it blends a somewhat dowdy silhouetted dress and a floppy hat with edgier accessories to vamp it up.  These Timberlands have been my go-to boots for snowy days this winter. They’re waterproof and secure with the treads on the bottom but still look very elegant and stylish. I…Read More

Determined Damsel

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

I made a few alterations to take in the sides and accessorized with a leather harness to give the flowy ensemble some edge. Perks of…Read More

by Celina[zilla_likes]

This sweatshirt is another feminist winner from Wicked Clothes. In homage to the tough ladies that inspire me every day I styled it with an edgy choker and leather jacket. We shot this look at the Fairmont, I love the way the elegant surroundings contrast with the rough-and-tumble look. The bonus of this outfit? It’s a…Read More

Rough Edges

December 14, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

After a few weeks of keeping things pretty tame around here, I thought I’d spice it up with an alternative styling of the studded bra I picked up in Germany. I styled it with a leather midi skirt and a soft, grey sweater to tone down the hard edges of the bra. A red lip…Read More
