Graffiti Getup

March 8, 2021,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

My dad and I stumbled across these graffiti walls on a hike last year and I had to snap a few photos. It was a perfect weather excursion, cool enough to wear pants but warm and sunny enough for a t-shirt. I’ve been searching for the perfect pair of jeans for YEARS and I finally…Read More

Lady in Pink

September 21, 2020,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I buy a lot of clothes in service of a greater creative vision. But once in a while I see a garment and I fall in love. This pink leather jacket was one of those moments. I’ve always been a leather jacket fan but this punch of pink brings a completely different attitude to the…Read More

Now I’m beginning to explore my Latina heritage much more.  I wanted…Read More

I don’t wear jeans often but I love the combination of my favorite high waisted pair with a cropped sweater. I avoided ’90s territory by keeping the jeans black and the sweater a subtle metallic. Wedge booties, a knit hat, and a red lip completed the look. A big warm welcome to my new photographer, Jamie…Read More

Armed and Dangerous

May 26, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

As a woman in the city I get asked a lot what I do to be safe. I have a black belt in Shaolin Kempo so on a logistical level I can absolutely protect myself. But what I find equally as effective is a sense of confidence. No one messes with a girl who knows…Read More
