Furthest Thing


Wearing Neutrals on a winding day here in New York.


Pin Stripe Blouse- Forever 21
White Sweater Top- H&M
Skater Skirt- Necessary Clothing
Sunglasses-Zero UV

This Fall, most of what I've been wearing is neutral colors because of how easy and flexible it can be when it comes to getting dressed in the mornings. It's gotten so embedded in me that now, its become an instinct for me to just reach for something neutral in my closet and not even give it a second thought.

For this look, I wore a heavy weight skater skirt, which is perfect for the fall because it still keeps you warm since its made out of wool. I decided to pair it with a cotton sweater top, layered with a sheer pinned striped blouse. I styled this sheer blouse as a cardigan by leaving it open as I wanted to not only add that extra layer to the look but also I feel as if the pinned stripes adds an extra bit of interest to an otherwise blank palette of white and grey. 

Anyways, I just got back from a short trip to Las Vegas, and it was incredibly awesome and the best time I ever had in a very long time…I got to be with my sisters and took a small break from my New York lifestyle which was a breath of fresh air for me. To see pictures from that trip you can follow me on Instagram and real time update at @marfarlane.

Into The Ocean...End It All


Jumper- Forever 21
Shorts- Thrift
Necklace- Glowwormshop
Shoes- Jeffrey Campbell Coltrane from Shopakira



Finally, I've injected a splash of colour onto my blog again! I sincerely have no idea why I had such an off period and was wearing very dark colors every single day as you can see in my previous posts. I guess there's something about fall in New York that's making me what to constantly drag for dark tones. Anyways! I'm so happy to be wearing more colours again, specifically for this lovely fall season. There's something so special about royal blue that gets me feeling cozy and calm...it's a very bold colour and can easily brighten up an outfit, which is what I love the most about it. I was a bit cold that day so a cute chunky knit jumper was the prefect fall essential to keep me all warm and ready for the day. I paired this with a brocade shorts in an aztec print and to be honest, I haven't worn a print such as this in maybe three years but I certainly love the way this print specifically compliments the bright royal blue of the knit jumper. Once I decided on wearing royal blue, I knew for sure that I wanted incorporate gold accents, which would give the look of a vibrate and luxurious colour combination. 
The shoes I'm wearing in this post was actually birthday gift from my sister and if you've been following my blog from the beginning you'd know how much I had cherished the red and black coltrane boots I owned. Unfortunately, I had to take a break from wearing them so now that I have these new ones  I'm giving you a warning that you're surely going to be seeing a lot more from these! hahaha Hope you all have a wonderful week.

Tug-A-War


Shorts- Nasty Gal
Beanie- Zara
Shoes- Jeffrey Campbell Coltrane

Not sure whats up with me these days but all I want to wear is grayscale or black and white pieces. I've been really busy with school these past few weeks, so the easiest thing for me to put together in the mornings is either all black, grey or black and white. I'm a person who really loves colours and mixing patterns but sometimes I tend to tone things down and go with very staple and classic color combinations that can never really get old. It's finally feeling like fall here in New York and I really hope it doesn't get any colder at least not until the next two months. The weather now is simply perfect and I can finally get to wear a lot of my more medium weight fall pieces. The first one that I've been dying to wear is this amazing jumper with cut out rope detailing on the shoulders. I'm simply blown away by this jumper and yes, if it were not for the rope detail on the sleeves it would just be a simple pull over sweater but I think I'd still love it either way because it's extremely cozy and a great piece that could also be worn with black skinny pants and heels or a sheer maxi skirt for a more bohemian vibe. I decided to pair it with shorts and sheer stocking because though it has gotten chilly here in New York, the sun still lurks and there's still some amount of heat. I can't wait to share a lot more staple fall pieces with all of  you (my lovely readers <3).
