In Praise of the Belt Bag

March 13, 2019,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

After months of observing them online I finally took the leap and bought a belt bag. With my trip to Venice on the horizon it just felt like too good of an opportunity to pass up.  For those of you who are out of know, a belt bag is basically like the classy older sister…Read More

The Tourist

March 11, 2019,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I almost never wear yellow but I was instantly attracted to this dress. It reminded me of what a glamorous traveler might have worn in an old film. It would fit right in with Audrey’s wardrobe in Roman Holiday. I wore the dress on my recent trip to Venice while touring the vibrant island Burano. The…Read More

Today I’m showing how I styled this red, long-line tee three totally different ways. I love the softness and simplicity of this shirt, wearing it makes me feel like I’m…Read More

Travel Style: New York City

by Celina[zilla_likes]

It’s a four hour train ride from Boston to NYC but with delays and wait time it can be a lot longer. By then the wrinkled shirt, spilt coffee, and train hair are starting to kick in. To make my travel as painless as possible I wore a comfortable but stylish outfit, a soft, wrinkle-resistant…Read More
