Clad in Cabernet

November 15, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

In my continued love affair with burgundy I put together this two piece, monochrome look. The suede skirt and chiffon top make for an interesting textural mix and the blue snakeskin heels give it a little bit of unexpected color. And, of course, I can’t wear an outfit that doesn’t involve a little leather, so…Read More

Burgundy’s Back

October 25, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

It’s no secret that burgundy is my favorite fall color and I’m relishing every way I can wear it. This leather skirt is a steal from the Target Who What Wear collection and the top is a dress that I’m using here as a shirt. The look has all the elements of fall fashion but…Read More

by Celina[zilla_likes]

Culotte Queen

April 5, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve been loving the culotte trend (as you can see here) and I couldn’t resist the opportunity to combine my love of leather with the new fad. I styled the look with a grey turtleneck sweater, because, hey, it snowed yesterday, and t-strap heels for a little sex appeal. The best part of this look…Read More

Secretarial Style

March 8, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve slowly but surely been adding to my work wardrobe and this is one of my favorite combinations. The cashmere turtleneck is from the Savers in Wilmington and the leather skirt is from Primark. I love the way the hard and soft textures play off each other. In the few brisk days we’ve had this year…Read More
