Leather Pants

Team Tolstoy

March 18, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

In case the name didn’t tip you off, this fashion girl is a book nerd. I’m the one you see trudging around with a volume that’s bigger than her, or searching for a new translation in the store. The girl that owns three different copies of the same book because they all have different cover…Read More

Freakin’ Fabulous

February 4, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

These incessant blizzards are slowly killing my style. There’s only so much you can wear when you have to climb six mountains and ski across a highway to get to work. The only thing that consoles me is looking back on previous outfits and knowing that, at least at one time, I wore something other…Read More

Pink Lady

December 29, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

One of my favorite trends this winter is the pink coat. It comes in all shapes, sizes, and shades, but my preferred style was the oversized bubblegum look.

I like the mix of this more traditional scarf print blouse with the bright blue of the blazer. The old and new combination gives the outfit…Read More

by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve been searching for a cape for several months and this one is exactly what I wanted. It’s the perfect balance of ladylike and modern with leather details, a cuddly oversized feel, and a soft cream color. I paired it with leather pants and my Frida Kahlo tee for some extra edge. The cape is…Read More

En Vogue

November 19, 2012,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

While we were shooting this outfit on the Boston Common a woman passing by said, “What, are you working for Vogue?” I told her I could only hope to do that some day, and she said I wasn’t doing too bad for myself. I love spontaneous exchanges like this with strangers. That’s one of the reasons I…Read More
