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

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

Dotty Vision

April 17, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Transitioning between seasons in New England is a difficult process. Boston can go from snowing to sunburn in less than and hour. I purchased this dress because it’s perfect for those tricky in-between months. The long sleeves give me a little extra coverage on the cooler days, but the flowy style is also conducive to bare…Read More

We’ve been having a weird uptick in weather this week with temps up to the ’80s. For Boston in October, this is highly irregular and my flannels and boots are not happy about it. But a little mid-fall heat wave does give me the opportunity to wear some of my summer faves one last time….Read More

Pink Poodle Skirt

October 28, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Okay it’s not exactly a poodle skirt but it’s sure built like one! This is my new favorite midi skirt from Nordstrom Rack. It’s so elegant but the bright pink gives it a playful edge. I paired it with a grey turtleneck sweater to accommodate the chilly weather and my go-to nude t-strap heels. Sweater:…Read More

Delicate Notions

May 1, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Lately I’ve been into delicate jewelry, color combinations, and styles. A kind of contemporary ladylike look. I found that perfect balance with this cream blazer, paired with a mint button down and accented with a few turquoise Kendra Scott pieces. The result is a soft but still put-together look. Blazer: Forever21, Button-down: H&M, Necklace: c/o…Read More
