The Nordstrom Gala

The Nordstrom Gala was a fun-filled night of drinks, appetizers, fashion, music and of course shopping!! All of the fashion lovers in the city came out to mark the occasion.

After dropping your car off at the valet station you were greeted by a violin and cello player in the garage. Pretty swanky!!

A Nordstrom Fashion Show

In between sets, they had a fashion show that went up and the escalators before coming back down to finish on the main floor. Very cool!! There were some AMAZING designs on display!

Heading out to the Nordstrom Gala gave me the opportunity to wear this beautiful dress that I picked up last month in Ireland. It was a little pricey but I knew that it was the perfect dress to wear to the gala! My cousin wore a dress from the clothing store Coast to our other cousin’s wedding and when I checked out their stuff I found this stunner!! It was love at first sight!!

The night was a lot of fun and the proceeds from every ticket went to Covenant House, Humber River Hospital, Sick Kids Foundation, St. Michael’s Foundation and Women’s College Hospital Foundation. All places that do amazing work and definitely need our support to continue.

As if the Nordstrom Gala wasn’t amazing enough everyone received some swag on the way out!! Candy and cold brew coffee!! Yum! The Frugal Fashionista: The Nordstrom Opening Gala at Yorkdale
