This is my first time visiting the cutest town of Kleinburg, Ontario, only 10 minutes away from my house in Thornhill. Totally felt like I was up north in Muskoka. I just loved the little shops, friendly locals and cottage country vibe. Will definitely visit again soon! This time I may even take the fam =)

I strongly believe that a classic blazer is one item that EVERY woman should have in her wardrobe. It’s a wonderful transitional piece that you can take from day to night, instantly transforming your look from relaxed to polished. I have one in black and cream and wear them regularly. A great blazer can carry you through meetings to date night, cappuccinos and girl’s night out. I do caution you to take your time when investing in a blazer by making sure the fit is perfect before purchasing. The seams on the shoulder should be directly in the middle. The biggest obstacle for me is finding the right arm length. I have long arms, so the sleeves are often too short.

Even though I am a big believer in owning classic and timeless blazers, I also love playing with pops of colour for summer as well. Hence, our hot pink selection (it is my favourite colour after all). I was immediately drawn to this item as soon as I entered Sense of Independence Boutique. After looking around this stunning boutique, I knew this topper would be the focus. Open for over a decade, Sense of Independence owners Naomi and Michelle strive to carry the most unique, trendy and contemporary pieces that will not break the bank. This is why they make monthly trips all over the world, ensuring that their customers get the most current and fresh fashion trends. Even more exciting is the fact they’ve now expanded into the online world and have re-launched their online store where you can now purchase their gorgeous styles, no matter where you live. Overall, whether you’re shopping in-store or online, Sense of Independence Boutique is an absolute must! If you are ever in the trendy Eglinton Ave. West area, be sure to stop in!
