Sylvia Plath

November 30, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

For the next installment of The Authors (see the first here), I designed an outfit inspired by Sylvia Plath. Naturally I wanted to incorporate a few of my favorite female authors as well. Sylvia was an American novelist and poet working in the ’50s and ’60s. Her life was fraught with mental illness and personal…Read More

From left to right: 1)  Glamorous in leather and fur. 2) Wise, calming words from Turgenev. 3) Getting my fruit on. 4) Stay tuned for a post on EyeSpot eyewear in Chestnut Hill. 5) You know, just hanging in my heels in the bathtub. 6) Working on a very special photo project with the MFA.

Superhero Style

by Celina[zilla_likes]

Welcome to the first installment of my ’70s Series. The 1970s are back in a big way this fall and though I was skeptical at first I’m coming around to some of the trends. The key is to modernize the look instead of just recreating your dad’s favorite disco style. This series will take four different trends…Read More
