Tutu Time of Year

November 6, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

One of the many reasons fall is my favorite time of year is because it’s tutu season. In preparation for Halloween all the stores start putting out their costumes and that means a whole lot of tutus are available. I try to focus more on the fact that I can find them in places other…Read More

I bought these heels as a more subtle alternative to these, and I just can’t wear them enough. With only a 3 inch heel they’re totally manageable, and definitely a statement piece.

Pretty as a Princess

February 9, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

One of my favorite spots in the castle is sitting in the window seat of my tower room to read. I can look down on the main courtyard, see all the goings on, and get some natural light to do my reading by. Sitting there makes me feel like a princess in her tower! Dress:…Read More
