Name: Natacha Castonguay

What I love most about my job, is being able to create everyday and the surprise of not always knowing where it’s going to bring me!

What inspires the creations you design?
I’m inspired by artisanal techniques such as knitting, weaving and hand dying. I’m also very into pastel colors and tie dye this season.

Describe your style in 3 words.
-Eclectic
-Spontaneous

Who is your style icon?
I really like the eclectic style of blogger Madeline Pendleton. When I look at her, I think “this girl can pull off almost anything”!

Scarves! I always wear at least one (if not two) with every outfit! Doesn’t matter If it’s winter or summer, I will wear a scarf!

I shop at Value Village, bazaars, and on Etsy for unique finds! To find basics I sometimes will go to H&M and Zara!

This little black and pink number looks great with a pair of black summer boots, a long pendant( I love this bird one by Rachel F available at Onze) and a leather purse(also by Rachel F)!

Fiona’s Open Back Dress: 58.00$

The Maxi version of the Fiona, looks great with Grecian style sandals, a denim jacket and a few bracelets( I love the Rachel F friendship bracelets). For a more urban look pair this dress with black converse and a fedora!

The best part about this dress is the open back, perfect for those hot summer days!
