Lilac Looker

September 29, 2020,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I made this dress for my trip to the Finger Lakes in July but I didn’t get around to photographing it until much later! These retro cotton dresses and matching masks have been mainstays for me during the humid summer. As we transition into fall I’ll wear them with leather jackets and trench coats.  Dress:…Read More

Pandemic Fashion

The world may have been thrown into chaos by COVID-19, but some things never change. Like my interest in matching my accessories to my outfit. Now that accessory is a face mask that we in Massachusetts are required to wear when going out. I’m all for supporting public health, but if I’m going to wear…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

Style Smarts

January 5, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

My love of school-inspired style is well documented, so this two piece tweed set was a shoo-in for my collection. I paired it with a burgundy sleeveless turtleneck, picking up on the colors in the plaid. It could be worn with tights on colder days or heels for an elevated look. Coat: Primark, Skirt: Primark,…Read More
