Street Style

Culotte Crowd

June 30, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Although culottes have been in for a while, I’m seeing the look be transitioned from the street-style mavens to the office-goers. Black trouser culottes are the new summer pants for 9-5ers. They’re comfortable, trendy, and easily transitional from work to play. I styled mine with heels and my denim button down, but you could pair…Read More

Nerd Chic

June 21, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I almost never wear T-shirts but this vintage graphic tee was too good of a sartorial piece to pass up. I styled it with an edgy pencil skirt, a statement necklace, and a leather jacket to jazz up the casual vibe of the shirt. The result is a street style look that’s both comfortable and…Read More

Cool-ottes

June 22, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Culottes have made a comeback. No longer are these pants-meet-capris reserved solely for 18th century bourgeoisie. When Walk Trendy reached out to me to try one of their products, I had to choose the most popular new street style trend. I styled mine with a loose sweater, statement necklace, and stilettos. Although I’ve never been a…Read More

This is the only time you will ever find me associating with exercise. But I have fallen in love with these joggers. This urban, street-style trend has taken the fashion world by storm and I am so on board. Some joggers can look more like sweatpants but this leather pair has a casual-meets-edgy vibe that…Read More

Bold Moves

April 11, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Sometimes all it takes for a knockout ensemble is a few basic pieces. Here I paired a crop top, jeans, and wedges. The pieces are all every-day closet staples, but when paired together they create a really bold look. You don’t always need statement pieces to make a statement. Crop top: H&M, Jeans: American Eagle,…Read More

Pumped Up Kicks

February 17, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’m normally more comfortable in heels and a skirt than in a sweatshirt and sneakers. But when I saw these gold velcro beauties at Fetysh Shoes and Accessories, I couldn’t resist. I paired them with leather shorts, a throwback sweatshirt, and a beanie for a fun, casual ensemble. My sweatshirt says “Fancy Lady,” because what other…Read More
