Summer is the time for road tripping and adventuring outside of your neighborhood. I always love exploring small towns and finding treasures that I may not be able to get at home. Put me in a new place and I will have some new finds sniffed out by the time the sun sets. I love talking to locals and getting a sense of what their current trends are and how their hometown shapes their sense of style. I find each one is unique in their own way and beats to their own drum if you will. So in this post, I’ve rounded up some wanderlust shopping. My favorite boutiques that are just a road trip away from YYC. Whether you’re planning on a road trip or you’ve been to these places many times, they always have something fun to offer depending on the season.

The sleepy lake town of Invermere turns into a bustling summer hotspot, which is where you will find her PUBLIC Boutique. A fusion of Boho chic, Indie love and Edgy rock, there are pieces for the free spirit in all of us. They also have a quirky and cool mix of accessories and handmade household goods and accents

The fashionable yet functional vibe of this little ski town is emulated in Freyja, handpicked items with a mix of locally made with an outdoorsy feel makes this a fun stop in Fernie.
