Summer Suiting

August 21, 2024,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Despite my lack of posts here (it’s been a very busy few years), I’m continuing to strut around Boston with eye-catching outfits and engrossing reads. I love, love a statement suit and this short sleeved vest version is perfectly adapted for summer weather.  Suits are the original matching sets. Flowy, two-piece outfits may be flooding…Read More

Spring is coming! With warmer temps rolling in and buds appearing on trees I’ve been feeling uplifted. And my wardrobe has too!

It brings me a sense of normalcy and boosts my mood. Skirt: Goodwill, Top: Primark, Shoes: gifted Tieks, Necklace: c/o…Read More

by Celina[zilla_likes]

In preparation for Mother’s Day I met up with my mom (also named Celina) for a mother-daughter photoshoot. We went to Nunan’s Florist & Greenhouse outside of Newburyport, MA. It was a dream landscape for a few shots with my amazing mom. She’s an inspiration to me daily and I’ll be lucky if I end…Read More
