If you’re a die-hard fashionista with a conscientious streak, we’ve found an event to blow your mind. On Saturday, May 1st, and Sunday, May 2nd, between 10 A.M. and 5:30 P.M., head down to the Palais des Congres de Montreal for a sample sale unlike any other. It’s the Farha Foundation’s Au Coeur de la Mode, and the proceeds go towards helping the over twenty thousand people living with HIV and AIDS in Quebec. For the meagre entrance fee of five dollars, you’ll gain access to what can only be described as a shopper’s paradise. The racks will be bursting with some of the best brands at unbeatable prices – standouts include Miss Sixty and Energie, as well as Montreal favourites Guido & Mary and Second Denim Co.
So get your reusable shopping bags ready for the filling with some 50%-off goodies. You’ll be supporting a great cause and amping up your style, all in one shot. Viva la feel-good shopping!
