Conquering Fears

Dusted off my good ol' hansel wedges, after not wearing them since early summer.

Turtleneck Top- Zara

Skirt- Thrift

Coat- Zara

Shoes- Deandri Hansel Boots

Over the weekend I took some time for myself to walk around the area, like I always do and why not stomp around in the cold in crazy platforms?? Okay so technically, it wasn't that cold because clearly I was able to wear my turtleneck top as a cropped top by simply folding it under. I really didn't like the original length of it and it was way too bulky to tuck into my skirt so I tried my best as possible to fold it under for a midriff look. Turtlenecks are so great for the fall/winter because they give this very sleek vibe while keeping you warm and comfortable. I went for my usual 90s aesthetic and wore my high waisted tartan skirt with very minimal accessories because I wanted to keep it clean and simple. I'll try to do more posts like these, where I can share snippets of the places I go before/after I shoot my outfits. Have a great week!

Let Me Live That Fantasy

Top and Skirt- H&M

Shoes- Deandri Archie Oxfords at Deandri

Today's my birthday! I'm so happy it's finally here and I'll be celebrating it with family. This outfit is an example of what I'd wear to dinner tonight... a loose fitting silhouette with the perfect faux leather jacket. The blouse in this post is literally giving me life! its so beautiful, silky, and easy to style with pretty much anything. I could see myself styling it with dark skinny pants and platforms or with some cute faux leather shorts. I also got the skirt I'm wearing around the same time I bought the top and its a simple circular skirt with these awesome evil eye motif printed all over it. I think why I love the skirt so much is mainly because of its light weight quality plus, it's easy to wear. I decided that mixing the print of the top and skirt would work perfectly because the mixing of the two isn't harsh or clashing with each other but instead, they're complimentary to one another. I wore my Deandri oxfords with the look mainly because I wanted to tone the look down a bit to make it a little more laidback and casual. Anyways, I'll post the outfit I decide to wear today for my birthday, you can keep updated on Instagram @marfarlane

Grey Day

Kimono- H&M

Shoes Archie Oxfords from Deandri

Skirt-Necessary Clothing

Just a giving a quick update on a look I wore sometime during the week after a long day of classes. The weather was very misty and cloudy at 11:00 am it looked like 5 am, which I thought was very strange....New York weather is so unpredictable and weird. Anyways, I wore the quickest look that I could pull together since I had to wake up early for my classes and the best thing to drag out of my closet during those crunch times is a classic grayscale look. To add a little more light layering to the mix, I wore my fringe kimono that I'm so in love with from H&M and as expected, I could help but play and shimmy with the tasseled fringe all day hahaha. I'm actually getting into wearing more of my other jewelry a lot more lately because I got so caught up in consistently wearing my tattoo choker and any choker as a matter of fact. I love all my chokers and would wear them all the days of my life but as a result of that I've neglected all my other really great jewelry pieces. So, the necklace Im wearing in this post is actually from this vintage jewelry store I use to go to all the time back home in Jamaica where I'd splurge into buying unique jewelry pieces. I just love the way this particular necklae is constructed and the rusted silver makes it vintage perfection!

As The Autumn Wind Blows...

A mixture of hard and soft elements to create a comfortable inspired men's wear look.

I'm back to wearing my favourite accessory, my O-ring!

The perfect oversized knit cardigan to keep me warm for chilly days.

Top- French Connection UK

Pants- Zara

Deandri Archie Oxfords- Deandri  or Karmaloop

O-ring- Aeon-Leather

Today's I'm showing how I combined the soft feminine pieces to create a men's wear inspired look that is perfect for going just about anywhere....in my case, I was heading to classes. All I wanted was to wear was something that could easily be a slouchy look, yet still pulled together enough to get me through the day. I've been channeling this kind of styling a lot late because it's a really comfortable and effortless look, which are two major elements I've been considering a lot since starting back school. I'm finally back to wearing my o-ring and I couldn't be more satisfied...I had stopped wearing it in the summer because it was just too much in terms of it being around my neck during the extremely hot summer days so, since New York is pretty much back into the full swing of cool fall breeze, I'm never gonna really take this o-ring off! hahaha. I decided that pairing this look with my archie oxfords and ankle socks showing just the right amount of leg peaking out, will definitely bring my men's wear inspired look to life...plus! they're super cute <3 Don't forget you can keep up with my real time updates by following me on Instagram @marfarlane

Felt Cap with Ears- Zara

There's always something so classic and beautiful about black and white looks, and whenever I get the opportunity to style a black and white combination... I always get so excited to see the results. For this look, I've literally been dying to wear this white cropped top with the black sheer detailing for the longest time but I guess I was waiting for the the perfect timing. I paired this top with my  oversized suade shorts made by Jason WU, that I somehow haven't worn in a really long time, mainly because it's more of a fall piece and otherwise I'd probably be burning in the sun if I had worn it in the summer. I really love that it's cooling down a little here in New York (not too hot, not too cold), because I can finally get to wear a lot more of my hats and sheer stockings and funky printed socks. The hat I'm wearing is actually one of my favorites, it has these cute little ears that I think represents a cat? but those ears seem like it could be anything to me hahaha. I thought it would be really clever to incorporate the hat into this look because it adds that little extra detail that makes this outfit really interesting. I hope you enjoyed this look and thanks for visiting! have a great week.
