Plaid Heavens


Wear Winter white with a pop of red and navy blue blue for an airy Winter attire.


Sweater- UNIF
Dress- Forever 21
Coat- Similar

So after a super long break, I've finally come back to my usual full time blogging. If you follow me on Instagram, you'd see that I have been all over the place visiting family for the holidays and also in the midst of completing a personal collection for my portfolio. 
Its been hectic for sure but I definitely missed blogging. I back from the warmth of Jamaica and smacked in the middle of this crazy Winter in New York. This look is one of the first I wore thus far since being back and its a been of a clean almost all white look for the dramatics of blending in with that pure white of the snow.

I'm wearing my cozy UNIF  sweater from last season, layered on top of this beautiful lacey dress and tons of other unseen layers underneath that actually allowed me to weather this look without freezing completely to death. I added the touch of the plaid as an extra layer for warmth and also to give the look a bit of colour.

I can't wait to share a lot of Winter looks and I hope where ever in the world you are, keep warm!

Skull Face


Quick casual look, great for the Summer. For me, what makes a look perfect for the Summer season, are lightweight clothing and comfortable shoes. For this look I made the print of the blouse to main focus with staple jewelry pieces to go along.


Shoes- Creepers by T.U.K
Necklace- Tilly's

I remember during my tween years, I use to be so obsessed with skulls and visiting Hot Topics every time I came to visit the States was always a must..I quickly grew out of that phase. However, what stuck with me was my love for the grunge era and blending that into my personal style. The top I'm wearing in this look is possibly my first all over skull print top I've had in years...and I love it so much mainly because of the cool detailed design inside of the skull face. I wore this look a few weeks ago while hanging out with my sister who was visiting the city.  I honestly didn't plan on shooting this look but I thought it would be good to show some of my simpler everyday looks. On a lazy day or when I have errands to do, I usually throw on very easy going pieces that I can quickly put together when on a time crunch. Somehow, I always run out with my jewelry...jewelry is always a must for me!

Bad Seed


Romper- AMI Clubwear
Boots- Jeffrey Campbell (Mulder)
Hat- Similar

Super 60s vibe with a mixed element of boho chic and a tad bit of a grunge aesthetic. That's exactly how I'd describe this look haha. I believe I mention early this month that I was revamping my personal style a little because at one point I felt a little all over the place and  hated everything in my closet. Nevertheless, thanks to the people over at AMI Clubwear for sending this lovely romper covered in cute little hearts. 
I'll be the first to say I actually can't stand wearing rompers/jumpsuits because most of them are always so uncomfortable for me in terms of the "wedgy" situation, so I always try to stay away from them. However, surprizingly the one I'm wearing in this post fits like a glove and it definitely comfy to wear all day! Since the romper itself was very loud and out there, I tried to tone it down a little by wearing it with a pure white cardigan for an extra feminine vibe and of course pairing my good ol' chunky Jeffrey Campbell boots and wide brim hat was essential in carrying off this look. The day I wore this outfit it was like 80 degree and such a beautiful day, so I was completely excited that I could finally hang out on my roof top with some friends. I know I've been a little inconsistent with posting (I hate having to not blog) but finals have been such a drag for me, on top of finding a new place to live. But be sure to follow me on Instagram @marfarlane  for real time update.
Have a great week!

As Long As You Know Who You Belong To


Hardy Sweater- UNIF
Tartan Skirt- Thrift
Shoe- Lost Sole Boots (Dollskill)

Shot this look a few weeks ago when it was fairly cold but warm enough to wear a tartan skirt. I have to say, my favourite part of this look has to be this gorgeous sweater from UNIF...they clearly make the best sweater hands down in my eyes. I love that it has this tattered grungy vibe to it but its pure white colour makes it flawlessly perfect for the winter. I decided to carry out the slightly grunge look by pairing the sweater with one of my favourite tartan skirt that I was lucky enough to score at the thrift store and I opted for my UNIF lost sole black boots to finish off this edgy yet girl look. 
Right now, I'm actually at the airport waiting on my flight to head back home to Jamaica. I'm so excited to be going back to warmth and sunshine. I tried to shoot some cold weather looks before I left New York so I'll be sure to post those later on this week. Hope you all have a great week.

Shadows


Playsuit- Zara
Envelope Purse- Nasty Gal
Shoes- Creepers

So a few days ago, I visited a couple museums and did a little 'touristy' sightseeing stuff and this outfit is what I wore for most of the day while doing these activities. I love playsuits a lot especially this one that I got from Zara, its sheer all across the high chest area to the sleeves and has these cute little white collar. If I'd have to describe this look it would be pretty simple because for some reason, I thought I looked like a bad school girl. I love the fact that this playsuit is made somewhat like a skort because from front view it looks like a really short dress that could fly up with the wind at anytime but from a back view its actually a shorts. I went very minimal in accessorizing, with only a few bracelets on my arm, rings that I cant get enough of and my statement fork necklace. Ultimately, I probably wouldn't have opt for wearing creepers with this look but I really wanted to make this attire toned down and semi-casual, since I was pretty much doing daytime activities.

Kiss Me


Band Tee- Vintage
Oversized Denim Jacket- Vintage
Skirt- Forever 21
Shoes- H&M
Hat- Zara
Evil Eye Charm Bracelets- Jem Bracelets

So recently, I've been getting into wearing hats a lot more than usual because for some reason it just feels natural to grab for a hat in the mornings before heading out for my daily activities. In this post, I'm wearing one of my most recent purchases from Zara.... it's this beret in faux fur. I'm really not a big fan of fur or faux fur however I'll wear faux fur in small places of my outfit but never as a dominate feature. This look compared to yesterdays are two complete oppostites, as the look in this post is a lot more of my usual grunge style because I can't get enough of band tees like "Kiss", paired with a 90s acid wash jacket and a long flowy maxi skirt to add a little feminine quality to the overall appearance of this look.
