Jumping In

February 12, 2018,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

When planning my outfits for my trip to Curacao, my first impulse was dresses. Cool, breezy, cute, perfect for the Caribbean. But we had some more physical items on our itinerary (ostrich riding, but we’ll get back to that) so I needed something more durable. Enter this jumpsuit. It has all the comfort and coolness…Read More

Chasing Waterfalls

June 6, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I love this swimsuit for its sleek and sexy design. It’s a one piece so I feel comfortable and covered in it but the low front keeps it from looking matronly. Even better, it’s convertible. It has two very long straps that can be tied in a number of styles. Packing for trips is a breeze when you get 10+…Read More

Budget Babe

by Celina[zilla_likes]

It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money to look good. This romper was $8 at Primark. I paired it with a faux-leather jacket and chic smoking-slipper flats for an upgraded look. The rich color of the one-piece and the gold accents already give it a more expensive vibe, and when paired with sophisticated accessories…Read More

Electric City

June 7, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

For the final installment of the Studio Series, Rebecca and I decided to mix things up. Instead of shooting this suit at a pool like my Swimsuit Series, we shot it in her glamorous, claw-foot tub. The electric blue water is a milk bath concoction. Typically milk baths are used in bathtub photoshoots to keep…Read More

The Grand Duchess

December 21, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve got one last holiday look for you! We started with a springy, transitional dress and then played with separates, now we’re going dramatic. I picked up this dress (it’s all one piece) at a vintage market in the South End. I loved the Mad Men vibe it gives with the cinched waist and strong…Read More

Let’s Get Glam

September 2, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Next up in the Swimsuit Series we’re taking things from athletic to glamorous. Let’s be real, that’s my preferred aesthetic. I love this suit, the cut-outs are interesting but it’s still comfortable to lounge in. A pair of heels and a sheer coverup takes this look from poolside to runway in seconds flat. Just like the…Read More
