www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday April 25, 2007 - 3 Watch Us Fashions Ladies Fashions in the heart of Glen Abbey Watch us Fashions first opens its doors to Oakville 16 years ago deep in the heart of Glen Abbey as a children's store. Owner, Karen Nano soon developed a loyal clientele looking for unique and fashionable clothing for their young children. The store continued to "grow" and business flourished for another 14 years, just like the children in Glen Abbey. As a result, Karen and manager Kim Carter decided to introduce ladies clothing to the shop. Feedback was so overwhelmingly positive, they made the timely decision to carry only women's fashions. Moms and Grandmas who used to shop for their children and grandchildren, were now shopping for themselves! This Spring Watch Us Fashions has pulled out all the stops to provide fashion conscious women with the ideal opportunity to dress fabulously and reasonably, without having to go to the mall. The store offers unique items from Canadian companies including Tribal, Point Zero, French Dressing, JeannePierre, CYC, Joseph Ribkoff and Conrad C. Karen and Kim jokingly compare themselves to Stacey and Clinton of the popular television show What Not to Wear. "We really have a blast selling ladies clothing," says Karen. "It's great to come to work and help one of our customers find that perfect outfit," adds Kim. One of the most popular items at Watch Us Fashions is the "Oprah bra." Karen and Kim have been trained by the manufacturer of La Mesteire to properly fit a bra. "We've found that just by wearing the proper bra a woman can look up to 20 pounds lighter. The transformation is incredible!" enthuses Karen. "Sometimes we need to address how a woman looks underneath her clothing before we can recommend an outfit." Exceptional service and personal attention are provided to every customer that walks though the door by the knowledgeable staff at Watch Us Fashions. Watch Us Fashions is located at 1131 Nottinghill Gate (4th Line) in Glen Abbey and is open 7 days a week. For hours of operation please call 905-827-2271.

Friends of Bronte Creek Park removed 29 bags of garbage from the gulleys along Burloak Drive.
