Nude Heels

The Natural Look

August 19, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve made it very clear that my preferred neutral is black, but something about this brown, suede dress caught my attention. I found it at TJ Maxx for only $20 but it looks so expensive. I think it’ll be very chic in the fall with some boots and a leather jacket. In the meantime I’m…Read More

Color Wheel

August 3, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

This is one of my favorite sets. Believe it or not it’s just from H&M, but every time I wear it I feel like I’ve stepped out of a painting. Since I bought it a few years ago two-piece sets have exploded. I pair this one with some nude heels and a sleek bun to…Read More

Material Girl

by Celina[zilla_likes]

The next look in my ’70s Series is this oversized jacket that I’ve fashioned into a dress. To be fair, it errs on the side of the ’80s (and as my co-worker pointed out, the side of Madonna) but I’ve been dying to post it. The jacket was another one of my Parisian thrift store finds (see…Read More

Bell sleeves were a hallmark of disco style, so I had to make it the theme of my next post in the ’70s Series. While the first post was a more punk look, this pink dress is elegant and ladylike. The cleopatra necklace in a utilitarian metal and the nude pumps bring the look into the…Read More

Gridlock

May 27, 2015,
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. Paired with my favorite leather jacket and some nude heels this look has a polished/edgy combination that I can’t get enough of. Jacket: H&M, Dress: TJ Maxx, Belt:…Read More

Spring Forward

April 13, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I couldn’t resist using the fairytale landscape at Kasteel Well to my advantage. The grounds of the castle were incredibly beautiful and with this pink tulle dress and a floral headband, I felt just like a fairy. Dress: ASOS Headpiece: Urban Outfitters Shoes: Forever21 Necklace: Borrowed from roommate Ring: Purchased in Toledo Photos by Jamie…Read More
