To dine in or to dine out? That is the question
Dining out is a popular get-together option. You can be with friends, family or co-workers, enjoy some food made by professional chefs and taste some special drinks you can’t always have at home.

Great looks for great prices
Second-hand shops offer a wide variety of clothing, accessories, footwear and other knick-knacks. It’s like one big treasure hunt to find that one-of-a-kind item or vintage piece.

Back to the fashion future
This fall, expect a throwback to the ‘80s with a variety of elements from this colorful era coming back. Many trends this fall season are also inspired by the ‘20s and ‘40s as well, with puffed sleeves, rich textured fabrics and touches of lace and fur.

Cache the wave
Looking for a novel excuse to migrate to the outdoors and enjoy the sun this summer? One that doesn’t involve lethargy, a beach blanket and a bad book? You could always get out and go geocaching. That is, if you have any idea what it actually means to go geocaching.

Don’t sweat the hot weather
Now that summer is in full swing, there’s no better time to enjoy the fabulous weather and take in the many activities and festivals Winnipeg has to offer.
But summer can become quite hectic when we try to fit in every event, beach outing and vacation, and dressing up can become more of a hassle than a fun and exciting experience.
