Night Vision

October 11, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Thigh high boots make a comeback every fall and I could not be more on board. They’re a sexy staple in a cool weather wardrobe, and with a low, chunky heel like these, also check off the practicality box. I paired mine, from Shoedazzle, with this knee-length sweater dress. From straight on no skin is…Read More

Little Black Dress

May 6, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

This beauty is the latest in my LBD collection. With a more bodycon base and a mesh overlay, the dress is simple but still visually interesting. The flared skirt and mid-length are appropriate for just about any occasion and it can be dressed up or down accordingly. I can already tell I’ll have this dress…Read More

From left to right: 1) Spending a cold day with tea and a good book. 2) Some goodies courtesy of Organic Bath. 3) My go-to easy-chic outfit for brisk days. 4) Flowers from a Sunday in the South End. 5) Breaking out the Thanksgiving bubbly. 6) It may be cold but Boston sure is beautiful.

I think the reason I was so initially attracted to this dress is because it looks a lot like the Disney Cinderella dress. Growing up she was my favorite princess and this dress with the light blue color, black accents, and floaty hemline is like an updated version of hers. Even as a quasi-grownup in…Read More

From left to right: 1) Toasting new opportunities and adventures with my friend Rebecca. 2) Shooting in front of the Boston skyline at night. 3) Pulling out the camera again. 4) Arctic Monkeys tickets for February! 5) Rainy days call for ice cream and snuggles. 6) I miss this princess already.

Take Me Out Tonight

October 22, 2012,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Recently I’ve found myself out in the city at night much more often and I’ve really come to love the nighttime vibe of Boston. When walking through the city with a friend on Friday night I fell in love with the sparkling lights, the calm movement of the river, and all of the people out…Read More
