246

This year was filled with new experiences, ideas and discoveries. I was lucky enough to travel outside the country and at the same time, was amazed to find new places within my local community. This year, I really ventured out into learning more about my city, Winnipeg. As 2014 comes to a close, I wanted to take this post as an opportunity to share with you my favourites from the past year. I've added the links to the posts I've written so feel free to check them out!

 

I really got interested in attending farmers' markets, pop up shops & restaurants and craft sales.

I decided to do a 2-part post blog recap just so I won't have such a long entry here. I'll be sharing my favourite cafes, restaurants and outfits for 2014 in my next post. Until then, Happy New Year!
