Western Living Magazine

Hello, my name is Lenore and I'm a magazine-aholic.

I have been since I was a little girl and discovered the shiny pages of Bop and Tiger Beat, filled with big colourful images and bite-sized bits of fun information. Magazines were my gateway to a whole world outside the one I lived in. As I got older, my magazines changed....from YM and Mademoiselle to Cosmo and InStyle to Style at Home and Real Simple. The thing that didn't change was my love for them. I dreamed of being a glamorous editor and fashionably styling each issue with fantastic photos and witty words.

Instead, I grew up to be a copywiter. Not too far off, I still get to play with words all day. But when Western Living Magazine approached me about being the Winnipeg City Editor for the  mag...let's just say I let out a bit of a girly squeal. It's a side gig come true...I get to 'shop' our fantastic city and source unique and exciting new home decor and design products for The Goods section of the mag. 

It's a small role, but one I am relishing. By day, I get to write the witty words here at Fusion and by night, I now get to seek out the stylish items that will grace the glossy pages of a magazine. Childhood dreams really do come true....
