Holy wowzers, it's fall. Summer will soon be a blurry patchwork of memories starring too many patio beers at
Latitude 53, ear blasting at
Golden West Music Fest and nonstop sweaty dance parties at... everywhere. The silver lining of summer's sayonara? It's everyone's favourite fashion season. The Dress Me Dearly team is stocking up on scarves and ankle booties and piling our coffee tables four feet high with oversized September issues. In between wardrobe updating and page flipping, there are some rad shindigs to attend this month. So here it is, your Edmonton September Happenings:
