Statement Necklace

Pom-Poming Along

November 26, 2018,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

We’re starting to get into the frigid winter days when I need to accessorize with hats and gloves or else risk hypothermia. This has some great perks (warmth) but it requires a little more creativity. Side note, I’m in the market for a black or grey fur muff. Like an eighteenth century muff that you…Read More

Salsa, Samba, Merengue, & Tango

November 19, 2018,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Though I’ve never been comfortable on the dance floor (middle school dances scarred me), I’ve always loved the idea of formal dances with established steps. That seems more manageable to me than the often unfortunate freestyle results of contemporary clubs. In Latin American and Spanish dances they take these established steps forms and make them…Read More

October 8, 2018,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

You guys know I love coordinating my outfits to my art. The latest example is this look I shot at Underground at Inkblock, a public space in the South End chock full of murals.

You’d think an edgy piece would butt heads with the fabric of princess skirts, but the contrasting textures create a great harmony. …Read More

The Creative Spirit

by Celina[zilla_likes]

These days I self shoot almost all my outfit photos. That means I set up a tripod, pre-focus the shot, turn on the timer, and jump in. It’s a lot of work and requires different location specifications than shooting with a photographer. For example, I don’t like to shoot anywhere that’s too crowded, A) because…Read More

Festival Fancies

April 24, 2018,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I have no interest in attending Coachella but all the fashion instagrams from the festival inspired me. I paired this olive midi dress with a leather jacket for some edge. But it’s the accessories that make the look. The necklace brings a little glam to the look and the hat (purchased in Santa Fe!) gives…Read More
