Ladylike

Dainty Dresser

June 22, 2020,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I put this outfit together because I love a monochrome and I was craving something dainty and a little bit over the top. Once I was shooting I realized it reminds me a bit of Natasha from War and Peace. She’s young and vibrant and beautiful but also very naive. I can’t say I identify…Read More

Culinary Clothing

September 3, 2019,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

This retro black and white dress is one of my favorite new go-tos. In this particular instance I embraced the ’50s housewife vibe by accessorizing with a pair of tongs. Don’t worry, I did none of the actual grilling. Since we just celebrated our last long weekend of the summer, this flirty look felt like…Read More

Psychadelic Lady

As the weather gets better I’m starting to catch the adventure spirit. The one that prompts me to hop on a boat anywhere, hike a mountain, or book a spontaneous trip to Paris. After a long, challenging winter it feels great. Last weekend I visited my dear friend the ultra-talented photographer Rebecca Gatto. We shot…Read More

Beautiful Boston

June 12, 2018,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I travel a lot but I’m always happy to come home to Boston. Every year growing up my dad would take me on a special trip into the city. I always wore fabulous and impractical shoes and got blisters and we always toured a new area of what would one day be my home.  People…Read More
