LEE and ME BOUTIQUE
If you’ve been following along the Inspire + Move IG adventures for a while now, you’ve likely seen me in some seriously cute pieces thanks to my clothing partner, Lee & Me.
I’ve had so much fun sharing them on Instagram that I thought it was about time I dedicate a full blog post to them!
Lee & Me is a local boutique in downtown Burlington, ON located in Mapleview Mall.
Its a relatively new store and the baby sister to Denise Boutique, a very well known store that has been around for over 20 years!
Though I’m kind of in the middle of both stores in terms of the brands and styles they carry, I have had so much fun working with them and growing their brand.
Love this cute BB Dakota mini dress from Lee & Me - its so versatile!
It all started with a lovely DM from the owner, Lee, who reached out to me to see if a clothing partnership would be of interest to me. UMMM YES PLEASEEEEE!!
Fun fact here: I went to Ryerson University for Fashion Communications so fashion and styling is basically part of my DNA.
We started our partnership in the prime of the pandemic, so we focused a lot on cute and casual wear that was good for walking the dogs and getting take out LOL.
Well my goodness has that partnership grown and evolved!
Since the world has gotten back on its feet (for the most part, amen!) we have done regular visits to the boutique for store tours to see all the cute things they bring.
I must say, this store is so well merchandised in terms of how they color block, incorporate accessories and feature some female owned brands that make perfect little gifts - think candles, socks, scrunchies and bath + body products.
One thing I have really loved about our relationship is that we typically plan store visits prior to a vacation or business trip I have planned, which means packing becomes 50% easier because I will have 50% of my outfits pulled thanks to the Lee & Me team- its amazing!!
They were a big part of my wardrobe for our summer trip to Portugal and anniversary getaway to Mexico, not to mention some cute pieces I have ready to go for Fall.
When I worked at MTV Canada as the wardrobe stylist straight out of University I had so much fun woking with different retailers for the talent and building relationships of my own. They would occasionally dress me for parties or launch events, but regular content creation online wasn’t even close to what it is NOW vs THEN.
It makes me feel grateful to come full circle with a clothing partnership of my own, and be in the driver’s seat of what we are creating and sharing with the Inspire + Move Community.
My 2022 WOMEN INSPIRING WOMEN outfit c/o Lee & Me…. OBSESSED!
I always look forward to my visits to the store, seeing the team, soaking in all the new merchandise and creating fresh, original content with their pieces that fits my lifestyle as well as my community’s.
If you are in the Burlington area I highly recommend you pay Lee & Me a visit and treat yourself to something pretty!
