Purple Palazzo Pants

June 3, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

These pants are one of the many items I picked up while in Paris. I’ve been searching for a good pair of palazzos for a while and these were too good to pass up. I found them hidden in the back of a thrift store in between a selection of sad polka dot dresses. The…Read More

The Great Wave

May 13, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I spotted this dress on OASAP around the same time the Hokusai exhibit opened at the MFA. I had to have it. The wave print is not only a cute summer pattern but also a pointed allusion to the famous Japanese artist. I hemmed the dress about eight inches and wore a tulle skirt underneath…Read More

I can’t get enough of this all-black ensemble. I know, I know, how many times have you heard me say that. But this one has been on rotation even more than usual. The leather pants add some always-needed edge but the sweater is soft and cozy. The hat gives the look extra warmth and added…Read More

Sure I still find time for fascinators and tutus, but on a day-to-day basis I’m valuing versatility more and more. This shirt is exactly the kind of piece…Read More

Here’s Lookin’ at You, Kid

December 10, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

There’s something about classic black-and-white hollywood movies that still seems so glamorous. The drama and romance of noir films from the ’40s and ’50s still get me every time. When I started brainstorming this shoot I knew I had two options. In these movies there are always two types of girls, the good (and usually…Read More
