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.
