One year has passed since I wrote my first blog post for fashionmagazine.com, sadly, that means my time is up.  I decided to leave you all with my top five places to shop in the wonderful city of Winnipeg.

Cha Cha Palace (shown, 173 Lilac St., 204-284-4128) for unique shoes, amazing bags, sexy lingerie and dresses, both expensive and affordable. A wonderful hidden gem with quality pieces. A recently opened second location (468 Main St., 204-943-8440) deals solely in shoes, bags and accessories (for men too!). Read more »

I went on the hunt for some of the best street style in town.

Every woman has that go-to pair of jeans that makes her feel sexy. Mine are called (hilariously enough) “the walk of shame.” The only problem is, I’ve loved them so much that both knees have worn out and there are other glaring signs of: “WARNING! These jeans may give way at the most inopportune moment.”
