The Blue in My Eyes

May 11, 2022,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Spring has been slow to arrive this year, but that is allowing me to utilize my coats for a while longer. This one in a rich cobalt tweed with faux fur sleeves won great appreciation at a dinner I went to hosted by Quebec tourism. I paired it with similar tones (love a monochrome look…Read More

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.

by Celina[zilla_likes]

As a born-and-bred New Englander, I’m used to dressing for cold weather. In Boston it can be challenging to find the balance between cuteness and circulation. Sweater dresses are one of my go-to winter styles. I picked this one up at a vintage market in Central Square and test drove it in Iceland.  When the…Read More
