Take Off From The Start


Casual moments in Williamsburg is the one things I look forward to on weekends.


Fuzzy Sweater- Similar
Pants- Nasty Gal
Biker Jacket- Similar

I finally decided to take this awesome biker jacket for a stroll about two weekends ago during the leisure time I spend vintage browsing and store gazing in Williamsburg. This whole year, comfort has become a major element in my wardrobe. So, I've been wearing pieces that can easy fit with each other that doesn't quite take too much time deciding in the mornings on what to wear.
For this look I wore my warm and fuzzy top that I'm completely obsessed with because it's literally the softest thing in my closet right now. Because it's pure white it exhumes such a clean and fresh vibe hence, I went along to pair it with something a little more on the edgy side which is the plaid pants. 
This ensemble is a bit more of what I usually like to wear when ever its not too freezing outside, as I am able to wear just a biker jacket and be good for the day. I kept it pretty simple for the accessories mainly because I wanted it to just be a more breathable and slightly simple look.

Mind Mischief


Black and White Scarf- Made by me
Coat- Nasty Gal
Concho Hat- Forever 21
Scully Platform- Jeffrey Campbell

On a cozy day, I like to layer  strategically that will allow me to go 'pantless' but still keep as warm as possible. Good thing the day I actually wore this look was warm enough for me to just wear stockings to be paired with my oversized sweater dress and a nice heavy wool coat from Nasty Gal. 
To spark a little interest and as an additional texture, I chose to where this pretty cool black and white scarf that I made in class. The scarf is designed like a sort of shawl so it goes over the head and sits on the shoulders, which makes it easy to pull over and pair with any outift. It works more like an interest piece rather than actually keeping you warm but I think of it as a fun accessory piece.

I hope you all had an awesome thanksgiving weekend, I definitely did as I went to Atlanta to visit family and then partake in a little shopping spree but it was all fun and I'm now back in NY, ready to take one the last week of classes.

Stare Into The Sun


The moment when you find an item in your closet that you thought you've lost forever. That was my experience a few weeks ago when my oversized knit cardigan resurfaced in my closet while I was moving.


Reflector sunglasses are the perfect mix between a futuristic and hippie vibe...maybe that's why this summer I've been sporting more of my reflector sunglasses more than ever plus they make for such a fun way to spice up a look that would otherwise be very simple.


Dress- Forever 21
Knit Cardigan- Similar or here
Sunglasses- Zero UV
Evil Eye Ring- Michal Golan

I had family in town for most of last week, hence I took a short break from my daily blogging. I had so much fun and miss them already. Nevertheless, I'm posting this look I work while I was still living in Manhattan. I took a walk to Chelsea Piers to clear my thoughts and to just relax since it was towards the beginning of my Sumer break. Since New York's weather fluctuates so much, I wore this warm and cozy oversized cardigan over a simplistic mini dress with an all over aztec print. If you can recall from previous posts, I remember sharing a look I wore with the cropped top version of this dress, see (here). Well, a few weeks after buying the cropped top version, I fell in love with the concept of putting it onto a flared spaghetti strapped dress and the rest is history.
I like to wear looks such as this, as I feel quite comfortable throughout the day and its one of those Summer looks that are toned down with just the right amount of accessories. I have lots in store for the rest of the week so make sure to stay tuned!

These Sidewalks Liquid And Then Stone


Motel Mindy Crop Top- Motel 
Flared Skirt- Similar
Ankle Boots- Zara

Spring is finally in the air here in New York and I don't think anyone is as happy as I am! I can finally get to wear cute little dresses and skirts and waltz around the city without extra amounts of layers. Since  I last posted, I've been a lot less busy than I was before so I'm diving back into blogging daily (I've missed it so much). 
To kick off the Spring season, I've decided to wear a lot more lighter colours mixed with small amounts of black...recently, my main go to has been white combinations because I love how it screams spring and it exhumes such a fresh vibe to anyones closet. For this look, I'm wearing a graphic crop top that I scored a few weeks ago when Motel  was having a huge sale. It's perfect for Spring and I could definitely see myself pairing it with lots of things for this season so I'll be sure to share that here with you. I decided to just keep it clean and simple by pairing the top with a basic white skirt so that I could keep all the attention to the top. The skirt in itself is a bit cutesy I don't mind that at all. 
Accessorizing is always so much fun and for this look I went with very dainty looking pieces specifically this spiral ring with a beautiful white stone inside (got it from a flea market). 
During the time I took off from blogging, I was still shooting looks so I can't wait to share them with you later on this week and remember if you need real time updates you can follow me on instagram @marfarlane .

Yesterday's Strength


Sweater- Zara
Pants- Zara
Shoes- Scully by Jeffrey Campbell 
Jacket- Forever 21
Jewelry- purchased in Jamaica

I use can't seem to get over my go-to colour palette, black and grey. I'm never usually the person to be caught dead wearing pants often...typically because I prefer wearing dresses and skirts. However, for this Winter, all I want to do is wear pants and call it a day because of how cold it is. I picked up these pair of riding pants from Zara about a day after cam back to New York and I can honestly say that it's one of my most practical and best buy of the new year thus far. It's such a great fit and goes well with pretty much anything I pair it with. For this look, I went with a more edgy look, by pairing simple pieces together to create an outfit great for wearing both day and night time. I added a statement necklace in the mix as an unexpected touch and to also give the overall look a little oomph against the light grey of the knit sweater. I always get the best jewelry back home in Jamaica, the necklace I'm wearing I got about a year or two ago when I was extremely obessessed with statement necklaces....I'm happy I finally decided to start wearing a lot of my necklaces again. Anyways, I'm off to a long day of work and classes...have a great day!
