Retro in Red

September 23, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

This dress is the perfect blend of retro and modern with a short hemline, peplum, and different sized polka dots. The bustier style front give it a sassy edge.

Worlds Collide

July 29, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I love mixing two styles that seemingly shouldn’t go together, like edgy and girly, or boho and preppy. In this case the combo is vintage and modern. I found this authentic 1940s dress at a local vintage shop and styled it with a gorgeous pair of Desigual shoes, courtesy of City Shoes in Portsmouth. The…Read More

My mom made this romper out of a thrifted jumpsuit for my birthday. I love the easy, retro quality of it, and of course it’s sporting my signature black and white polka dots! The best part about this outfit? My mom also made a matching bow for Coco so we can be fabulous together! Romper: Made by…Read More
