West Edmonton Mall Western Canada Fashion Week Preview

I'm wearing a top from Zellers (yes, ZELLERS) , shorts and tights from Zara, jewelry from Aldo & H&M
(With Andrew from High Gloss White.)

Last Friday night I attended West Edmonton Mall's preview for Western Canada Fashion Week on Europa Boulevard. (To learn more about this extraordinary mall click here, it will blow your mind.) The packed and stylish crowd was able to meet and mingle with designers and preview their collections for WCFW as well as view the hottest fall fashions from a handful of West Edmonton Mall retailers. What I loved about this event is that you could feel an energetic buzz in the air, an evident excitement about Western Canada Fashion Week coming up this Thursday. It was so inspiring being surrounded by designers, models, photographers, other bloggers and general fashion lovers supporting the community.

Vickie, Kassandra and I wearing animal prints. I swear we didn't plan it! Can I mention that Kassandra bought her snakeskin dress from H & M for $15?? You know I love a deal!

That Zellers top is so cute. I just kind of have a soft spot for Zellers though, I used to work at the Idylwylde branch of EPL right by Bonnie Doon and so I spent a lot of time on my lunch breaks doing some shopping there and racking up Club Z points. And I love how you are all wearing animal print (a group of ladies after my own heart I might add)!

I can't beleive your shirt is from Zellers...I'm on the lookout for leopard print tops right now...I wish the Zellers I was at yesterday had that top :(
All these fashion events you're attending make me really wish my Hubby didn't hate Citys! I am doomed to a life in the middle of nowhere..haha I guess that just means lots of road trips :)

I love how the 3 of you are wearing animal prints, yet have a distinct individual look. I've saved it in my inspiration folder. Great top as well :)
