The Jamaican accountant-turned-boutique owner, Marsha Fashina began cracking numbers for top New York magazines but fell in love with the creative process behind the scenes.

Fashina shared her five style essentials with Something Extra: a blazer, high-waisted palazzo pants, a cotton shirt with buttons, a black dress and jumpsuits. Read her story on flairja.com.
