Accessory Overload

June 1, 2020,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Though I am dressing up during this pandemic in an attempt to feel normal, I have had to scale things back a little. Because most people are wearing workout clothes or straight sweatpants around, the scale for acceptable clothing has shifted. Now if I go out in so much as a simple dress I look…Read More

Reading by the Seine

by Celina[zilla_likes]

I often find the simplest outfits are the most stylish. Here I paired my favorite pair of black leather pants with a simple v-neck grey sweater, a gold chain, and a hat my friend picked up for me in Panama.

If you see a girl running around Boston in heels, furiously checking her watch and drinking a coffee bigger than…Read More

Cafe Chic

This outfit is simplistic and yet adaptable to almost any situation. The basic plaid button down and navy circle skirt make for a sweet silhouette, toughened up by the studded belt and spiked necklace. Add a classic trench and I can go anywhere! For some reason I imagine this outfit in particular in a little…Read More
