Tiny Tutu

February 7, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I love a good tutu, and the delicate pink color of this midi skirt is reminiscent enough of a Degas to be exciting, but conservative enough to wear in contemporary life. I paired it with a black, chiffon top and basic heels. I’d wear this look to work or throw a leather jacket over it…Read More

Tzarina Celina

January 31, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

In homage to my love of Mother Russia and Anna Karenina, I styled this regal look with a navy fur coat, silver choker, and heeled boots. If I have to go out in the snow I’m going to do it Romanov-style. My jewels aren’t quite up to the Fabergé standard, but I could definitely repress some serfs if…Read More

Happy 2017!

January 1, 2017,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Another year down! 2016 was a great one, I moved into a swanky new apartment, started my job as an art reporter at The Bay State Banner, debuted on Channel 5, and explored some great new cities. This year I hope to further fill out my travel log, and maybe make something in my new kitchen…Read More

The vibrant, extensive exhibit looks at the creation and style of shoes from both design and historical perspectives. Many of the pieces reflect the use of clothing and footwear to restrict and control women; others…Read More

Over the Knee

February 16, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Over the knee boots have been trendy for a few seasons now and I’ve been incorporating them into my wardrobe slowly but surely. It’s very difficult for a petite, curvy woman like myself to style high boots. For one thing, you want enough leg to be showing for the look to be proportional, but you…Read More

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
