Leather

Lasercut Lady

July 13, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

My love of leather is well documented (here, here, and here) as is my love of details. So when I found this lasercut faux-leather skirt with intricate floral detailing, I was sold. For a vintagey look I paired it with a cropped sweater from Paris and my go-to Kendra Scott necklace. I strive for honesty on…Read More

Animal Instinct

June 8, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Those of you who have followed my blog for a while know that I have a penchant for wild clothes. If it looks like something no one should ever wear, I probably own it. So when I spotted this purple mohair embellished jacket in a Parisian thrift store, I had to have it. I’m fairly…Read More

by Celina[zilla_likes]

I don’t wear a lot of white, but this subtle, grid-print dress is really working for me. You may remember I styled it as a shirt here.

I’ve come across a lot of great styles, fedora, pinch-crown, cloche, but this wide-brim floppy look is exactly what I was searching for. I paired it with leather pants and a graphic tee to keep it from going too Coachella. Hat: Urban…Read More

Crossing Paths

April 6, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Mixing two different aesthetics is one of my favorite styling techniques. Here I’ve mixed a retro skirt with an edgier leather jacket. This prevents the skirt from looking costumey. Nude heels and a basic black top accent the outfit without overpowering it. What do you think of the mixed look? Skirt: H&M, Top: TJ Maxx,…Read More

Lonely Hearts Club

March 2, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I found this dress at a vintage store a few years ago and fell in love with it. Nothing calls to me like a leather dress that no one else in the world would consider wearing. Even better? It fits me like it was tailor made for me by some miracle of the fashion fates….Read More
