Maxi Dress

Floral Fantasy

April 22, 2019,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

It’s finally esplanade season again and I’m beyond excited. I’ve been hanging on to this dress for weeks knowing that I couldn’t wear it until the weather warmed up. This morning it paired perfectly with my lace parasol from Burano for a stroll along the water.  Dress: Primark, Parasol: purchased in Burano, Italy, Shoes: Primark…Read More

Fairy Lights

While walking through Bryant Park, Rebecca and I spotted this beautiful little restaurant entryway. On the dark, snowy day it looked especially magical. I thrifted this dress recently and didn’t think I’d have the chance to wear it until the spring, but the Tiffany-blue color worked perfectly with the white and yellow lights. These bracelets were…Read More

Custom Wardrobe

by Celina[zilla_likes]

I have great difficulty finding clothes that fit me exactly right. At 4’ll and a 00, I end up having to alter most of my outfits by hand. I think we’ve all experienced a little of that in the dressing room, something fits on the hips by not on the waist, or the length isn’t…Read More

From left to right: 1) Some very necessary late-night frites from Saus. 2) Spending Sunday on the esplanade with the Globe. 3) My custom made dress from eShakti. 4) Rocking the stained glass print dress from this post. 5) The best part of being Latina is the homemade empanadas. 6) Nothing cheers up a dreary day like a trip to the Clarins counter.

Maxi-mum Impact

September 12, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

When I create a look I go all out. It might be all out subtle, or all out classic, but it’s important to me to create a completely cohesive look. So when I pulled out this Grecian-goddess style maxi dress, I wanted to pair it with similarly inspired accessories. Enter the Socrates-would-be-proud laurel crown and…Read More

Maxi & Me

March 14, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I scored this maxi dress at TJ’s for $10 and couldn’t wait to wear it, so I styled it for the indecisive March weather with some layers. I don’t wear a lot of green but I love this earthy shade, especially when paired with the more mechanized black-and-hardware feel of the leather jacket. Dress: TJ…Read More
