I’m pretty sure Catherine is one of those girls who can put on anything, and it will automatically look good, no matter what it is. She’s recently been gracing the style pics section of FP Me with her simplistic, yet striking images, and her style is one that definitely caught my eye. From her instagram account, to her FP Me profile, she takes a minimalist approach to things that really seems to work for her. She has built up quite the following on instagram which has become a great source for style inspiration. Read below to get to know a little bit more about this beauty!
Where are you from?
I’m from Quebec City but have been living in Montreal for a couple of years now. Moving here for school has been a great experience and has allowed me to meet people from all over the world!
What’s your favorite thing about your hometown?
My favorite thing about my hometown is Old Quebec. In the summer, I love strolling around and looking at the old architecture and historic sites.The beautiful streets are filled with entertainers and horse-drawn carriages.
How long have you been blogging for? What inspired you to start your blog?
I have been blogging for just over a year. I had been following so many fashion blogs over the years and one day decided that I would give it a shot. I told myself that maybe I could inspire others in the same way other fashion bloggers inspired me every day.
You have a very set style of the images you post on your blog and Instagram. Do you have any tricks to creating your minimalist/clean imagery?
I have become a fan of minimalist imagery as I find that it really puts all of the focus on the outfit. I usually like to take my pictures in front of a simple white wall beside a window. That way, I get natural lighting and a clean image.
Describe your personal style.
I would describe my style as fashionable, yet relaxed. Although it changes from time to time, lately I like to dress girly and bohemian chic. I keep my outfits simple and top them off with pretty rings and necklaces.
Who/where do you turn to for style inspiration?
I would say that I am influenced by the L.A. lifestyle and celebrities such as Vanessa Hudgens. I love how she experiments with her fashion sense and pulls of cool festival styles. Also, I spend a lot of time on Tumblr and blogs to get inspired by new fresh ideas!
If you could wear one outfit that you feel the most yourself in, what would it be?
Probably skinny jeans and an oversized t-shirt with booties. I would pile on some rings & necklaces as well!
What are some of your favorite blogs at the moment?
I love Theyallhateus.com, The Native Fox, and mija.creatorsofdesire.com.
What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Don’t forget to fall in love with yourself first.
Floral Braid Ins, High Neck Bra
What does a day in the life of Catherine look like?
Most days I go to school or work in a clothing store. But on my days off, I get up early and put outfits together for my blog and take pictures either alone or with my friends.
What are three beauty tips/tricks that you live by?
Drink lots of water, it’s so good for your skin and has many other health benefits! Filing in your eyebrows makes such a difference and shapes your face. Don’t wash your hair every single day, it’s good for it to produce its natural oils.
One thing you couldn’t live without?
My phone!
What music have you been digging lately?
Although it changes all the time, I have been listening to a lot of The 1975!
What are the top 5 items on your Free People wish list?
Drifter Slouchy Pullover, Skinny Strap Bodycon, Extended Brim Clipperton Fedora, Crochet Monokini, Love Always FP Denim Jacket.
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? Who would you go with?
Australia! I would love to go with my best friends and visit all the beautiful beaches.
What does being ‘free’ mean to you?
To me, being “free” means finding yourself through music and traveling and anything that encourages you grow and express yourself as a person.

I love the idea of braiding flower trim into ones hair!!! :)
uhhh she needs to be hired as a MODEL for FP :)
I love the pairing of the fine jewelry with the big knit sweater, but the prim and proper hair irks me – it looks too much like a wig for my taste. I like a certain nonchalance I guess.
But again, her collection of jewelry! Wow I’m so jealous <3
She’s so fabulous. I follow her on Instagram and keep up with her personal blog…both are lovely. :)
