Sweater Dress

When in Boston

January 3, 2018,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

As a born-and-bred New Englander, I’m used to dressing for cold weather. In Boston it can be challenging to find the balance between cuteness and circulation. Sweater dresses are one of my go-to winter styles. I picked this one up at a vintage market in Central Square and test drove it in Iceland.  When the…Read More

Thigh high boots make a comeback every fall and I could not be more on board. They’re a sexy staple in a cool weather wardrobe, and with a low, chunky heel like these, also check off the practicality box. I paired mine, from Shoedazzle, with this knee-length sweater dress.

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 comfortable and warm but also visually interesting. These tights have been with me since high school…Read More

From left to right: 1) With Boston at a balmy 41 degrees I’m finally able to wear real clothes again. 2) A shot from the art exhibit I curated, “Oppositional Realities.” 3) Nothing solves the weekend blues like a good waffle. 4) This cuff from Jezebel Charms has my favorite scene from Crime and Punishment on it in Russian. 5) Here’s the invitation from my exhibit…Read More

Notes from the Underground

by Celina[zilla_likes]

Right around the corner from Emerson is Brattle Book Shop, also known as paradise. The shop has an impressive collection of out-of-print and first edition novels as well as an outdoor sale lot. What’s really interesting about Brattle is they don’t sell just one type of book. You can go in and buy a $1…Read More
