We absolutely adore how Montreal-based blogger Marie-Christine toughened up her adorable lace dress with NG’s Power Up Velvet Blazer and bold black accessories, so we asked her to divulge a bit more about her signature style:

Describe your style: I love mixing opposites like casual with romantic and a structured piece with draping or ruffles. Most important, I wear whatever makes me feel comfortable and confident!

What do you find most inspiring? I get inspired by everything that surrounds me: people in the streets, runways, magazines, movies (especially the old ones), travels and blogs.

One thing you couldn’t live without: A great pair of sky high heels, they can make any boring outfit look fabulous!

What are you most looking forward to wearing this season? Nude & pastel colors, leather shorts and flower print dresses.

Vintage Fendi suede coat, vintage lightning print top, vintage angora skirt, Nasty Gal glasses, Jeffrey Campbell buckled wedges.

This week’s shoots were some of my favorite yet! The first half of the day is always the most brutal, since I usually forget to eat breakfast and overload myself with caffeine. This look came post-lunch, of course. Expect to see everything (including those rad sunglasses) in the store next week.

PS: We have a super exciting new model coming next week who also happens to be one of my favorite bloggers…can you guess who?

1. What is your favorite thing in the store right now that you haven’t purchased yet.

YET. The Bleach And Destroy Jeans! The rips, bleach spots and shredding are so rock n roll…I have to admit that I am a 90s grunge baby through and through. I’ve always wanted a pair of ripped jeans but I can’t figure out what size I would be for the life of me.

2. Why do YOU think the name Nasty Gal originates?

Miss 70’s one-woman funkadelic star Betty Davis, why ya gots tah be great? and no, i didn’t google that :P

3. Favorite trend of the moment? Trend you hate?

I was never really an 80s fan. But after seeing the cutout dresses and strong shouldered blazers, I started asking myself why i never was. The bandage dress i got from nasty gal last month is probably going to be credited as a springboard of sorts if i do undergo an 80s phase. It’s really a love/hate relationship with this era.

4. How do you think the fashion scene is different in the Philippines vs. the US?

The Philippines is a tropical country, it’s always summer here :P We don’t enjoy the luxury of buying winter clothes like that amaaaazing pink mongolian coat showcased last december in your store :)

5. Where are some of your favorite places to shop?

In malls, I go for the european brands like topshop, zara and accessorize but nothing beats the flea markets we have here for cheap scores on the batiks and tie-dye prints.

6. How would you describe your style?

I’m all about exploring the spectrum of nude hues and miss prima ballerina.

Thanks, Trasienne!
