Secretarial Style

March 8, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve slowly but surely been adding to my work wardrobe and this is one of my favorite combinations. The cashmere turtleneck is from the Savers in Wilmington and the leather skirt is from Primark. I love the way the hard and soft textures play off each other. In the few brisk days we’ve had this year…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

by Celina[zilla_likes]

As it gets colder in Boston I’ve been looking for interesting ways to spice up my outerwear. When I spotted this hat on a sale rack I jumped at the chance for a monochrome look. Let’s be real, I never turn down an opportunity to look like Boston Barbie.  Coat: OASAP, Hat: H&M, Leggings: Forever21,…Read More

Snow Chic

March 13, 2015,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Even as it starts to get warmer here in Boston there are still some serious wardrobe challenges. For one thing, the taller-than-me snowbanks are starting to melt so it’s wet everywhere. This means I have to keep wearing boots which significantly restrains my outfit options. But once in a while I can sneak in a look…Read More
