Swan Song of Summer

September 3, 2018,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Summer is (hopefully) ending, and frankly, I’m ready for fall. But I celebrated the final weekend of the summer months with this brightly colored matching set. And what better place to shoot a colorful look like this than amidst the flowers that inspired it? I paired the look with simple black flats and a sunhat. …Read More

Мать Россия

February 28, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

The Russian heroines of my favorite novels are elegant, seductive, and intelligent. And a little insane. I designed this look around the idea of a femme fatale with a penchant for fur and mysticism. Last weekend I was reunited with my dear friend the ultra-talented Rebecca Gatto (formerly Isenhart). In addition to creative partners, Rebecca and I…Read More

Tiny Tutu

February 7, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I love a good tutu, and the delicate pink color of this midi skirt is reminiscent enough of a Degas to be exciting, but conservative enough to wear in contemporary life. I paired it with a black, chiffon top and basic heels. I’d wear this look to work or throw a leather jacket over it…Read More

Now that I’ve moved into a new place, I’m learning to love staying in. In my hectic world of nightly events, article deadlines, and perpetual meetings, I rarely get to spend a night at home by myself, and when I do I relish it. Especially as the weather gets colder, there’s nothing quite as comforting…Read More

Budget Babe

June 28, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money to look good. This romper was $8 at Primark. I paired it with a faux-leather jacket and chic smoking-slipper flats for an upgraded look. The rich color of the one-piece and the gold accents already give it a more expensive vibe, and when paired with sophisticated accessories…Read More

Black Friday Sale Guide

November 28, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I don’t typically participate in Black Friday. I’m not interested in having my vintage clothes be trampled by a group of citizens desperate for a new TV. And at 4’11 trampling is a real issue to be concerned about. But shopping online through the weekend is a trample-free way to score the best deals to…Read More
