Sunny Winter

Just another day in Brooklyn.

Sweater- Forever 21

Skirt- Zara

Boots- Necessary Clothing

Can I first express how obsessed I am with this tribal inspired sweater! I bought it during the Black Friday sales at Forever 21 and can't stop wearing it. Surprisingly, I found it in the mens section  (I shop both male and female clothes sometimes) and just bought the smallest size that could fit me perfectly...even though its still a little big.

The quality is pretty great and its super thick and cozy even though in this post I layered it with a blouse underneath because New York's weather switches easily from being warm to cold and cold to warm. As you can see, it was a beautiful sunny day and which allowed me to wear my neoprene skirt and stockings . However, for safety of the wind and an additional layer...I wore an oversized coat which is an item I've been wearing a whole lot if you've seen from my Instagram photos. 

I have a lot more looks coming up on the blog and I'm hoping I can do a video diary real soon. Have an awesome day!

Pale Skies

Sweater- Forever 21

Vest- H&M

Shoes- Miista

Just giving a quick post on a look I wore on a snowy day. Strange enough, it was snowing but not very cold so I just wore a chunky sweater and over oversized faux leather vest with some tight skinny pants. Of course I was wearing a scarf but for the purpose of the shoot I decided not to show it because it would cover the delicate beauty of the sweater.

I'm actually surprized that I haven't worn  this vest sooner this season...but it came out at the right time because its so useful when you want to feel warm and comfy but not uncomfortable with a thousand layers. I like to go very minimal in the jewelry area during the winter months, only because I usually have to wear gloves and necklaces seem unnecessary if there's a huge scarf covering it.

Cold enough for a coat but warm enough for a skirt. Typical New York weather.

Sweater- H&M

Wool Skirt- Necessary Clothing

Coat- Zara

Boots- UNIF

I have a slight obsession with this green sweater that I can't quite explain, but for some reason I've been wearing it extremely often since the Fall/Winter season begun. I was kind of happy I got the chance to pair it with this flared wool mini skirt because I've been so stuck on wearing pants almost everyday due to the freezing weather. 

This look is typically one I'd wear for a day of classes or just a casual day around this city. One downfall to wearing a skirt on a windy day is probably the obvious Marilyn Monroe moments but I managed to not flash anyone that day so I guess it was a success. 

The semester is almost over for me and I'm literally the happiest person ever, because I get to go back to Jamaica for the Christmas and will finally get some warmth.

Casual days. Yes, I'm wearing jeans.

Sweater- H&M

Jeans- American Apparel

Hat- Sole Society

Boots- Zara

I was a bit reluctant to post this look, mainly because it's so far fetched from my usual style and I was feeling super lazy the day I got dressed. However, I decided to just go ahead and share because I feel like everyone has one of those off days plus sometimes it feels good to dress down a little. 

I believe I shared these mom jeans here on the blog once before during the Summer so, this time around I'm styling it in a more Fall attire with a bit of a bohemian/hipster inspired vibe.  

This look was worn for a full day of classes and I was super comfortable all day, minus my friends pointing out that they've never seen me wear jeans before haha. 

It's starting to get extra cold here in NY, and I'm definitely not happy about that because all I want to do is stay indoors. I'll be sure to post a lot more looks here on the blog but if you'd like to keep up with my collection developments you can always follow me on Instagram @marfarlane

Power Trip

Just another day, layering to keep me warm and comfy on cold days.

Shearling Matte Jacket- Similar

Blue Biker Jacket- Similar or (here)

Embroidered Sweater- H&M

Trousers- Zara

It's funny to think that there are areas of my closet that are actually filled with coloured items which I neglect 95% of the time and then an all black section that is like my baby. However, once in awhile i like to dip into the coloured section and chose one stand out color to vibe with for the day.

If you've remembered any of my previous post from last Fall, I was absolutely obsessed with this bright royal blue biker jacket and still can't quite get over how much I love it.

 I love rich colours that are able to enhance a look completely and this is exactly what I wanted for this look. I wore this ensemble this past weekend and honestly, I just wanted to walk around Brooklyn and get some fresh air. So, I literally just pulled out the quickest thing I could put together without looking crazy and then there was the birth of this look.

Everything In Its Right Place

Brooklyn days in a cozy sweater and shorts.

Sweater- H&M

Shorts- Similar

Boots- H&M

Hat- Similar

I had so much fun shooting this look because it's been awhile since I've worn shorts for this Fall season, main reason being that I get cold so easily and putting on pants always seems like a major go-to move for me. I went out around Williamsburg here in Brooklyn sporting this comfy emsemble one weekend and didnt realize how much I love these boots until now. I've literally had this pair for awhile now and couldn't quite decide what to style them with but so many ideas are now starting to float through my head and ways I could wear them for this Fall.

For this look, I chose to pair them with this awesome ribbed sweater (that I was scared of looking like a "Christmas sweater") and light grey pleated shorts for a quick and easy daytime look that you can wear for brunch, shopping or just hanging with friends. 

I hope you like this quick post and be sure to tune in on my blog tomorrow for when I announce the giveaway! Have a great day!!
