Tie-dyed Up

July 21, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’m all about utilizing garments in new and interesting ways. So when I found this maternity shirt in a dressing room, I immediately thought it would make a nice dress.

by Celina[zilla_likes]

For the final installment of the Studio Series, Rebecca and I decided to mix things up. Instead of shooting this suit at a pool like my Swimsuit Series, we shot it in her glamorous, claw-foot tub.

And at 4’11 trampling is a real issue to be concerned about. But shopping online through the weekend is a trample-free way to score the best deals to…Read More

August 4, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve demonstrated in the past that I love a good veil, and this is the latest addition to my collection. Attached to a headband, this veil is an easy way to add some mystery to my ensemble. I just think there’s something so intriguing about a black veil, even if it’s not really hiding anything…Read More
