Gladiator Sandals

Maxi-mum Impact

September 12, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

When I create a look I go all out. It might be all out subtle, or all out classic, but it’s important to me to create a completely cohesive look. So when I pulled out this Grecian-goddess style maxi dress, I wanted to pair it with similarly inspired accessories. Enter the Socrates-would-be-proud laurel crown and…Read More

J’adore Dior

June 27, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I found this Dior top at the SoWa vintage market last week and I’ve hardly been able to take it off. It has a very retro, space-age vibe about it but somehow also fits seamlessly into my current wardrobe. I paired the top with a leather skirt and gladiator sandals for an event with the…Read More

Sleep Walker

June 4, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

This slip dress was marketed as outerwear, but with the nylon and satin blend fabric, lace trim, and spaghetti straps, it’s really a nightgown.

Best of Both Worlds

August 19, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I put up with a lot for fashion. Constricting bustiers, sky high heels, long ungainly skirts, the whole nine yards. Comfort is rarely my priority, but some days I just need a look that doesn’t require any extra effort. This look was featured on Chaos Magazine in the street style section.  This ensemble is the…Read More

On the Boardwalk

August 10, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I don’t wear much green, especially neon, but I couldn’t resist this cutout brocade dress. It feels very much like a ’50s two piece outfit with the cutout but it has the ease of being one dress. Dress: TJ Maxx (alternative here), Shoes: Payless (similar here), Flower Crown: Purchased in Nijmegan, Bracelets: Forever21 and hand-me-down…Read More
