Questioning The Exsistents

I'll always find comfort in wearing black and white…such a great way to put together a classic polished look.

Top- Necessary Clothing

White Cardigan- Similar

Pants- Zara

Amaya Boots- Miista from Solestruck

I shot this look so long ago that I completely forgot about it until now. I'm wearing my favorite white lace crop top with a slightly slouchy fit pants to bring balance to the look. I actually wore this look one day for my internship except, I switched out the shoes for more flat comfy ones since I'd be running around on my feet all day. However, I love the unexpected addition of green boots to this look, as the pop of color brings a little more interest to the beautiful yet simplistic attire of just the black and white.

As you may, or may not know…I'm a fashion designer in the making but I haven't quite showed that side of me that much here on my blog. For the next few weeks and possibly the rest of the year I'll be working on a personal project regarding the designer aspect of my life which sadly means..I'll be cutting down on making daily blogs. Now listen, I'm not quiting! lol "a quitter never wins" but I'm just focusing more on building up my caliber and making that side of me more known that just being "the personal style blogger". I'll definitely be sharing my journey here on the blog with possible videos and I'll still update on the outfits that I wear. So I thank those who have riding with me on this blogging journey thus far and I really can't wait to show more of my designer side to you all. Hope you had a great weekend!

Swear My Promises To The Sky

Top- Necessary Clothing (Similar)

Shorts- Forever 21

Boots- Miista from Solestruck

Lace, lace and more lace! I think I've officially developed a lace obsession, there are so many lace pieces that are creeping up in my closet and slowly taking over....I cant help myself. 

This white lace top from Necessary Clothing is pure perfection and possibly the lightest and most delicate item I own right now. When I first received it, I wasn't quite sure what I'd pair it with but now I have so many idea for the summer on how I could style it for a warm weather. For this look, I wanted to incorporate a bit of colour since there's possibly been a lack of colour on my blog for a minute..soo I wore a plaid pajama looking shorts that's light and airy with lace detailing along the hem line. 

To be honest, I'm not usually the type to wear shorts like these and I use to think anyone who wears these are pretty lazy but here I am.. eating my words because I'm definitely going to be living in these shorts this Summer because they are literally the most comfortable clothing ever..shorts of my dreams! And if navy blue and red plaid wasn't enough for me, I then decided to finally debut my forest green boots with lucid heels from my favourite shoes company, Miista. For some reason, in the pictures the shoes came out looking a bit metallic which I absolutely love but the forest green in person looks really beautiful and great for both Summer and Fall. Oh, and in case you're wondering..these photos were taken on my new roof top 

Let me know what you think of this look in the comments below and I hope you have a great week!

Golden Solution

Graphic T-shirt- Chicwish

Skirt- Zara

Shoes- TBA from Solestruck

Rings- Thrift

Needed to give a quick update since I haven't been able to post in so long. I thought I'd be a bit more able to get back to my regular consistently daily posts but I've still pretty much been caught up with loads of projects and sleepless nights...can't wait for it to be over. Since I've been running around so much to classes, my aim in dressing each day is "comfort". Spending countless hours working and sewing in the studio can be such a drag so I've really been leaning towards wearing print graphic tees layered on top of a buttoned down top (usually in neutral colours) and my chunky boots will always do the job of keeping me comfortable while I'm on my feet all day. I've always bee very much into statement jewelry and this beautiful ring I managed to scoop up while thrifting one day has quickly been ranked as one of my favourite rings. The green is so bold and the way the gold of the outer area sits so complimentary to the overall aesthetic of the ring. 

I really can't wait to get back to posting regularly again but I'll be sure to continue updating my instagram as much as possible. Follow me @marfarlane.

Head's In The Cloud...My Gravity Centered

Coat- Sammy Dress

Boots- To Be Announced from Solestruck

Sweater- DIY 

I'm loving everything about this look mainly because of the way I chose to layer two sweaters to create an interesting distressed idea. I basically wore a plain knit forest green sweater as the first layer then I wore my thin olive green sweater on top allowing room for the sweater underneath to show through. I don't have that  many sweaters so sometimes it gets a bit boring re wearing them over and over so I'm always seeking new way of styling them for a whole entirely different look. I wore my new favourite coat from Sammy Dress which is both very bold and comfy to wear. I love how the colour of the coat blends so well with the shades of green and the huge button details of it ties the overall look together so well. If you're ever looking for great affordable pieces including bags and accessories, definitely check out Sammy Dress

Burning Bridges Down...Set Me On Fire

Francis Dress- UNIF (Dolls Kill)

Shoes- To Be Announced (Solestruck)

Yesterday I was in Emerald green, today its all about this knitted dress in a colour rarely seen, tobacco brown. I bought this dress during the black friday sales and I'm not quite sure why I chose this colour over black but, I somehow thought seen it was such a specific and unique colour that I should just take the change with it. Completely satisfied with my decision because I'm so in love with this dress. It's super cozy and the shredded/destroyed detailing at the hemline, takes it to another level. I wore black shorts underneath since it's pretty much Winter here in New York. I'm not sure what it is about the day after a snow day because it wasn't really cold at all...just lots of snow covering everywhere, and clearly the rooftop of my apartment was also covered in snow. For shoes, I wore my current favourite shoe called Gracie by To Be Announced and I remember purchasing a pair of shoes from them earlier this year and ended up returning them like a week after because it was made so poorly, but this time they blew me after this this little number with fringe and gold detailing.

Half-Past The Moonlight

Sweater Dress- H&M

Eyelet Cardigan- Forever 21

Faux Leather Jacket- Similar

Charcoal Panama Hat- Sole Society

Shoes- Miista (Solestruck)

I've always wanted to get a sweater that was long enough to be wore as a dress but never quite got around to finding one that wasn't too body hugging or long enough. Thankfully, H&M just opened up a flagship store in Time Square and they were having this massive sale  so I picked up a bunch of cozy sweaters that could each be wore for different occasions. I specifically love this red wine colored one because its  at a great length (little about the knee) and it's one of those sweaters that can easily be dressed up or down with the help of slight tweaking. I ended up having to wear  shorts underneath the sweater because it was a bit cold so, that sort of explains why it's a little puffy around the upper leg in this post. I also wore my eyelet cardigan to give a more casual feel to the outfit and with my biker jacket I was able to give a lot more depth to the overall look. Sweaters have literally become an essential part of my wardrobe lately because, it's cold in New York that the only thing I can wear without freezing is a nice chunky sweater. I honestly can't wait for Christmas to get here so that I can go back to Jamaica in the warmth haha.
