Leather

Hard & Soft

January 11, 2021,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Another play with textures today, pairing this edgy leather top with a soft, floaty floral. Bringing in textural elements elevates an otherwise basic black-and-white look. Top: SheIn, Skirt: Thrifted, Flats: Primark, Face Mask: Pirouette  

Tulle Transformed

I made this skirt a few weeks ago and have been twirling through Boston in it ever since! I like that it’s reminiscent of a nineteenth century bustle but can be made contemporary with this leather wrap top. Top: SheIn, Skirt: Handmade by me, Shoes: SheIn, Necklace: Forever21

I picked up this black anorak jacket at Primark (for only $11) and it’s been a great layering piece for this transitional season. When I’m hopping from meeting to…Read More

One Shirt Three Ways

August 2, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Versatility is paramount for me when it comes to my wardrobe. If I can’t wear it in multiple seasons with multiple looks, I’m not interested. Today I’m showing how I styled this red, long-line tee three totally different ways. I love the softness and simplicity of this shirt, wearing it makes me feel like I’m…Read More
