Photo Shoot: Lord & Taylor Bala Cynwyd Hosts “Shop Chic and Make It Count” 11/4/14

Lord & Taylor Bala Cynwyd (145 City Avenue, City and
Belmont Avenues) presents their inaugural charity shopping day to
support ten local non-profit organizations doing good works in the
Philadelphia region. A few of my friends and I headed out there last week to play dress up, and check out the store before the big event.

 
On Tuesday, November 4, 2014, from 9:00am to
11:00pm, come out and “Shop Chic and Make It Count” with a full day of shopping, styling, pampering, family fun, live music, food and sips, and other surprises. Tickets are only $5.00 each and entitle participants to 25% off a single item, a 15% savings pass and 10% off cosmetic savings – with added bonuses when shoppers use their Lord & Taylor credit card.

 “Shop Chic and Make It Count” with Lord & Taylor as we help ten charities making a difference in our Philadelphia and Mainline communities,” said Lord & Taylor Bala Cynwyd Store Manager Christine Daly.
“We’re excited to give back to our local community while saying thank
you for supporting the store since 1955.
