About Mel

Mel’s blog is a lot of fun to read because her outfits are always so fun and creative. You can count on her to be a constant source of inspiration – by using a scarf as a belt or a dress as a skirt, she shows readers how to remix every piece in their wardrobes. Originally from Canada (she’s French Canadian, hence the title of her blog), she now lives in New York where she works as a buyer and merchandiser for Kensie. Let’s meet her!

Our Interview with Mel

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself (who you are/what you do/where you’re from, etc.)

My name is Melanie, and I am originally from Canada. I currently live in Brooklyn, NY with my boyfriend. I work for a clothing company called Kensie, where I’m a merchandiser.

2. How would you define your style?

It’s a little quirky and romantic but fun and definitely vintage-inspired.

3. How did you find your style?

I always had a “unique” style and it’s just slowly evolved into what it is today. I’ve just worn whatever I felt like at the time, no matter where I was going.

 4. What inspired you to start a style blog? What motivates you?

I was reading Teen Vogue and they had an article mentioning Chictopia, so I checked it out. I quickly became a member and starting posting outfit pictures. Once I got started on there, I wanted to create my own place and share my voice, so that’s how my blog got started.
