Retro

Vacationer

July 1, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I re-discovered this cobalt pencil skirt during a recent closet clean out. The petal slit in the front gives it a little extra elegance and it doesn’t ride up without tights. When paired with the polka dot bustier and pink bag I found it looked very much like a ’50s or ’60s vacation outfit. I feel…Read More

Beach Babe

Retro style bathing suits have been making a comeback this year, and I couldn’t be happier about it. I’ve always felt that less is more when it comes to swimwear, less skin that is. A slinky one-piece can look infinitely better than a skimpy bikini. In this OASAP suit I got the best of both…Read More

There are few ’90s revival trends that I can get behind. I’m very against raw hems and denim-on-denim, and we should really keep the be-dazzlers buried in our basements. But high waisted jeans are a trend I’m really happy to embrace back into fashion. They’re ultra flattering to both skinny and curvy girls and they…Read More

The past few days have been exceptionally warm for Boston in January, and I took advantage with this gorgeous emerald midi skirt. I paired it with a whimsical glasses print top and studded heels to keep it modern. Skirt: ChicWish, Top: Forever21, Shoes: Steve Madden, Trench: H&M, Arm Candy: Kednra Scott & others Photos by…Read More

The Rise of the Midi

October 11, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I love that the midi skirt is back in fashion. The retro reference to Dior’s New Look is a sophisticated way to show how style savvy you are. I chose a faux leather version that brings some edge to the otherwise feminine piece. To balance out the bodycon look of the skirt I tied a…Read More
