Valentine's Day - Bowties & Sweethearts Valentine's Gala

This Saturday February 8th, NWL will be guests at the annual Bowties & Sweethearts Valentine's Gala. The formal charity event held at the Hotel Saskatchewan, supports women & children transitioning from domestic abuse situations. In only three years the event has managed to raise over $230,000 for Regina shelters. This year, the invite only fundraiser, plans to exceed prior year's donations through ticket sales and amazing auction prizes. We are proud to take part in an event that will benefit such a great cause to help the women in our community.

Staff Picks

"The internet can be a great resource for planning big events, like your wedding or graduation.  However, it is important not to become complacent where your own taste-making is concerned.  It is also equally as important to not let ideas of what you think you might want in a dress (from hours of online research) close your mind to something that may be different but equally as beautiful on you, or infinitely better.  And the best advice that I can give to those planning these often once in a lifetime events, is that nothing compares to shopping in a store, where you will get an experience with your close friends and family that you will not get searching online.  This may be your one chance to have this experience, so plan a day dress shopping in Regina with all your favourite people and don’t forget the most important thing: HAVE FUN!"

"Love your body the way it is. Stop worrying about how small your boobs are or telling yourself you need to lose 5+ pounds. You're not so special that nothing looks good on you. In fact I guarantee the lady in the change room next to you, wishes she looked half as good in the outfits you are trying. Love your body and treat it to something pretty!"

Golden Globe Red Carpet Trends

Last night there was more red carpet glamour to be seen at the Golden Globe Awards in Hollywood. Instead of picking our favourite dresses, we did some trendspotting, and here's what we found... 

COLOUR BLOCKING

HIGH LOW SKIRTS

SPARKLING SILVER

These were just a few, we also saw shimmery champagne, backless beauties, plunging necklines, so much red & the best accessory - the baby bump! 

Did you have a favourite trend?
