Trench

Teal & Tulle

May 6, 2019,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

This matching set, which I actually purchased separately, is one of my favorite travel outfits. I wear the top and skirt together to look like a dress but they mix and match just as well with other pieces. Here I paired them with my favorite teal trench coat for an interesting color mashup. This scarf…Read More

Welcome, Fall

October 4, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Fall is my favorite sartorial season. Jackets, flannels, leather, layering, it all comes alive when the temperatures drop below 60. I’m just starting to break into my fall wardrobe and I put together this look with the office in mind.

But the most difficult transition is the wardrobe. These offices require a much more professional business casual dress code. I’m used to rolling into work in leather pants and…Read More

Rainy Ready

April 17, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

We’ve officially transitioned from snow season to rain season, and this pink coat has become my uniform. I spent literal years looking for the right trench with a hood, there are so few of them out there. This one is not only functional, but brings a pop of happiness to a rainy day. Usually I…Read More
