Obscure Books in Obscure Places

August 23, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I take a book with me everywhere. It could be a black-tie event, you can bet I stuffed a paperback into that clutch. When I was younger I used to read in trees cause I wanted to be like Johnny Appleseed. (I grew up in New Hampshire, what can you do?) Now one of my…Read More

Perfect Pair

August 8, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I found this set at the SoWa Vintage Market (at the One Man’s Trash booth) in the South End and fell in love with it immediately. I call this look Barbara Bush meets 50 Shades of Grey. To bring the set into the modern age I shortened the hem on the skirt and paired it…Read More

I almost never wear white, but this sassy little athletic-inspired number caught my attention. The classic black and white combo and the easy shape reads American sportswear without the sneakers and polos. This is actually a peplum shirt that I repurposed into a dress. Sometimes being 4’11 has its perks! I paired the shirt/dress with a…Read More

This outfit feels so classic to me, with the black and white color scheme and the midi hem length. I’ve updated it with a crop top and tulle skirt but there’s something ever elegant about this combination. Shirt: TJ Maxx, Skirt: Forever21 (similar here), Shoes: Tahari, Belt: Thrifted, Rings: Assorted Photos by Jenni Heller.  …Read More

Treats & Tulle

by Celina[zilla_likes]

In this outfit I’m combining two of my favorite things: tutus and midi skirts. This delicate white is the perfect spring color to offset my emerald sweater. I kept the vibe sweet with flats and a sock bun. For a ladylike outfit like this macarons felt very necessary. Sweater: H&M, Skirt: Forever21, Flats: Tahari, Belt:…Read More

Greek Myths

May 24, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Knee high gladiator sandals are going to be a huge trend this summer. Now that a few celebrities have been seen wearing them, they’re flooding into the mass market. I purchased these a couple weeks ago and they are officially my favorite summer sandal. I styled these beauties with a white lace dress and floral…Read More
