In Her Purple Prime

December 8, 2020,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Once in a while I’ll notice a gap in my wardrobe and the most recent was purple. I don’t know why I’ve shied away from the royal hue in the past but I went full force with it this year! This dress was one of my purple acquisitions and it’s been a great go-to piece…Read More

Trendsetting Textures

November 4, 2020,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve been adding a few easy dresses to my wardrobe for days when I’m uninspired. I loved this one for its mixture of textures, the rough tweed, the dainty chiffon, and the smooth metal buttons. Paired with tights and flats it’s a quick, chic look that can take me from interviews to dinner with friends….Read More

I made this dress for my trip to the Finger Lakes in July but I didn’t get around to photographing it until much later!

Paired with a printed bag and tights, you could wear this look anywhere!  I’m also featuring this InvisaWear necklace from my 2019 Holiday Guide. When you press…Read More

Mad About Marilyn

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

Gingham Gal

by Celina[zilla_likes]

I picked this up as part of my summer dress stocking. It’s a dream of a hot weather dress, breathable, flowing, and classically cute. Here I paired it with a matching fedora and a neutral flat.  Dress: SheIn, Hat: Puttin’ on the Glitz, Flats: Tieks, gifted
