The Grand Duchess

December 21, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve got one last holiday look for you! We started with a springy, transitional dress and then played with separates, now we’re going dramatic. I picked up this dress (it’s all one piece) at a vintage market in the South End. I loved the Mad Men vibe it gives with the cinched waist and strong…Read More

Sparkle & Shine

December 16, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Tis the season for holiday outfits and I could not be more prepared. For the slew of parties that come in December I typically follow a formula.

by Celina[zilla_likes]

With holiday parties coming closer and closer I’ve been looking for pieces that can easily go from a day at the office to a festive occasion with friends or family.

by Celina[zilla_likes]

Okay it’s not exactly a poodle skirt but it’s sure built like one! This is my new favorite midi skirt from Nordstrom Rack. It’s so elegant but the bright pink gives it a playful edge. I paired it with a grey turtleneck sweater to accommodate the chilly weather and my go-to nude t-strap heels. Sweater:…Read More

Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce

September 28, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Mad Men was every fashion girl’s sartorial dream, and along with many others it ignited in me a passion for beehives and cardigan sets. The retro style was one of the many appeals in watching the fantastic show. To pay homage to Matthew Weiner’s creation, I staged a photoshoot with my incredibly handsome cousin Bryce…Read More
