Shopping Fever

It may be a short month, but February is packed with sales, fashion shows and beauty events that will make the winter blahs much more bearable.

Paws for a Cure

Wagsworth Manor Pet Resort will host a fashion show and shopping event 6-9 p.m. on Feb. 4 in support of BreastCancer.org. The organization’s president and founder, Dr. Marisa Weiss, is scheduled to speak about her newly revised book, Living Well Beyond Breast Cancer. The fashions, courtesy of Polka Dots in Paoli and the Worth Collection, will highlight all of the latest trends to add to your wardrobe this spring. Of course, Wagsworth’s favorite four-legged friends will hit the runway, too, modeling the latest in canine couture. All the doggie models are rescues available for adoption, so come with an open mind and you may leave with a new pooch! The event will also feature plenty of boutique shopping—just in time for Valentine’s Day—plus wine and hors d’oeuvres by Sage Catering of Berwyn. A suggested donation of $50 gets you your ticket, and each ticket purchase at the door includes 10 raffle tickets for a chance to win wonderful prizes from the vendors. (Purchase your ticket in advance for an extra 10 raffle tickets.) Tix sales, along with 15 percent of vendor sales, go to BreastCancer.org.
