Urban Fairytale

December 13, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

When we shot this look I told my friend and photographer Rebecca Gatto that I imagined the outfit on a princess who had wandered out of her fairytale and into the city. The sweet pink midi skirt provides a subtle foil to the alluring off-the-shoulder top (cashmere!). The Rose Kennedy Greenway has an urban oasis feel…Read More

Nautical Necessities

November 6, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

The weather in Boston has been unseasonably warm (thanks, Global Warming!) so I’ve been taking the opportunity to use the last of my light weight outfits. This pattern mixing ensemble is one of my favorites. It feels a little bit New Englander, a little bit Parisian, and a whole lot of ladylike.  All my New…Read More

Little Toy Soldier

October 12, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I found this dress at a Goodwill in New Hampshire. It was a child’s costume from a community theatre production and it was floor length. Fortunately, being mini has its perks, and I took it home, chopped off the bottom and turned it into a fashion piece. And by me I mostly mean my mom. …Read More

by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve mentioned before how wearing trench coats (and being a journalist) makes me feel like a detective. This vintage leather beauty is no exception. I love the bold silhouette (yes, those are ’80s shoulder pads). It’s somehow retro but still very contemporary. I’ve been looking for a leather trench for a long time and this…Read More

Femme Florale

July 27, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve long espoused my love of rompers, one-pieces, jumpsuits, and all one-stop-shop-outfits. So when I saw this silky black floral number, it was a no brainer. I love the versatility of this piece. It can be styled up with a blazer for the office or down with sandals for a beach day. Plus with the…Read More

Ruffled Feathers

July 10, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

In elementary school I went through a pirate phase sparked by the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. I wore a bandanna every day and had these cargo shorts with a breeches feel to them. It was not my finest sartorial choice. Nowadays when I channel my inner swashbuckler, it’s in a much more sophisticated manner….Read More
