Shopping Local at Refresh Market
When I go shopping, one thing I like to keep in mind is shopping local. British Columbia is home to so many incredible boutiques and fashion designers and I always want to be sure to support them. I was invited by Refresh Market & Hunnis Boutique to check out and shop Hunnis Boutique, a store that I’ve long followed on Instagram and always loved the styles they’ve posted.
So, on Saturday I went out to Hunnis and I ended up spotting this stylish plaid button-up, comfy boyfriend jeans, and adorable striped flats.
Hunnis Boutique let me know that on April 25th they’ll be taking their beautiful pieces and heading out to Squamish to take part in Refresh Market. Refresh Market is a marketplace which takes place on April 25 from 10AM – 5PM in Squamish, BC.
Refresh Market is a market dedicated to supporting local businesses (Like Hunnis Boutique!) while also offering BC’s shopping-fiends an opportunity to shop a variety of local stores, handmade goods, and even vintage pieces. If you’re like me and want to discover more about how you can shop locally then you should take a minute to learn a bit about Refresh Market!
More about Refresh Market:
“We are one of B.C.’s leading indie markets for handmade, vintage, and curated wares. Established in 2011, Refresh Market has been a pioneering force on the craft market scene and remains one of the most anticipated ‘shop small’ events for consumers, artists and designers. The market lineup features a meticulously curated selection of handmade and locally designed clothing, jewelry, ceramics, art, vintage, artisan food, skincare, and homewares from neighborhood favourites as well as up-and-coming artists and brands. Our markets attract thousands of visitors committed to supporting our local economy. We have donated over $10,000 to local non-profit organizations and charities since Refresh was established.” – from RefreshMarket.com
I love casual looks and am always drawn to laid back plaid shirts, so when I saw this soft white + black button-up I was immediately drawn to it. When it comes to denim, there’s no fit I love more than a slightly loose boyfriend style jean. The simple pairing was completed with these adorable (and totally perfect for spring) red + white striped gabby flats.
After I picked out my perfect weekend look we headed to the adorably quaint Ritual Ice-cream and Creperie shop in Fort Langley. If you’re ever in Fort Langley, definitely be sure to stop into Ritual Creperie for a delicious crepe or a refreshing scoop of ice-cream. Not only will you be sure to love the tasty treats offered at Ritual, but you’ll also be sure to love the shop owners who are incredibly welcoming and kind.
