Plaid

Hometown Girl

June 21, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Being home and seeing all of my old friends has got me feeling very nostalgic. At this point we’re all moving to different places in the world and doing different things. And as exciting as that is, I can’t help but think about old times. In honor of days gone by, I threw on Levis…Read More

Cafe Chic

January 31, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

This outfit is simplistic and yet adaptable to almost any situation. The basic plaid button down and navy circle skirt make for a sweet silhouette, toughened up by the studded belt and spiked necklace. Add a classic trench and I can go anywhere! For some reason I imagine this outfit in particular in a little…Read More

I love the way this outfit looks sweet and sassy despite the leather and plaid, two elements that generally have more of a grunge vibe. It’s that perfect mix of soft and hard that I just can’t get enough of. Shirt: H&M Skirt: H&M Tight: TJ Maxx Shoes: Christian Siriano for Payless Photos by Jamie…Read More

I’m a little late but my fourth of July salute comes in the form of classic American pinup fashion. Shirt: Thrifted Short: Hand-me-downs Shoes: H&M

Studious Style

February 18, 2012,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I wore this student-inspired outfit for a girls day with my Mom. She came into the city and we did a little shopping, had some amazing food and generally had a great time. I bought these shoes (on sale for $7!) during the trip. The book I have is Dostoevsky’s A Writer’s Diary which I’m still…Read More
