From left to right: 1) Sunday calls for coffee and good books. 2) Getting retro at the MFA. 3) Pick up the new issue of Trouvé magazine to read my article about the secret lives of the MFA Boston guards. 4) Brightening up a rainy day. 5) Monday vibes. 6) Can’t live without my Junot.

Sparkle & Shine

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.

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.
