Business Casual

July 2, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I almost never dress professionally. Since I work in a very creative office (hello, art magazine) we don’t really have a dress code so I rotate cute dresses with jumpsuits, leather pants, and whatever else I’m feeling. But I was immediately attracted to this pencil skirt when I saw it at H&M. It’s a little…Read More

Business as Usual

March 28, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

We don’t have a strict dress code at my office, so I typically wear my usual eccentric ensembles. But once in a while I pull out a semi-professional outfit. This look is as comfortable as it is pulled together. The boyfriend blazer is a soft knit (so basically like wearing PJs) and the sweater underneath…Read More

by Celina[zilla_likes]

Once in a while (read: weekly) I have a bad hair day. Usually it happens when I’ve watched too many episodes of Scandal and don’t have the energy to do anything about my hair. My go-to fix is a hat. You name it I’ve styled it, cloches, beanies, fedoras, berets, the whole gamut. But in…Read More

But I can run with the best of them, and I styled…Read More

As technology develops, there has been a rise of creative, technology oriented jobs in the fashion and design industries that are geared towards a young worker. The people flocking to these positions are young professionals like myself with a creative background and a strong understanding of technology. For jobs like this the dress code is…Read More

Back to Boston

January 28, 2012,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

It’s so nice to be back in Boston! As much as I loved being home, it reinforced how much I love living in a city. Coming back here feels like I’m coming back to where I belong. It looks a little bit like I’m about to punch someone in this photo…woops! But hey, a girl’s…Read More
