and louloumagazine.com, is online now and goes live on the streets of

In effect until Oct. 8, SHOP ‘TIL YOU DROP offers exclusive daily VIP

makeup—redeemable at stores across Canada. Plus, Kraft Thinsations is
also offering a contest with a total of four $2500 shopping sprees in

Deep discounts at some of Canada’s favourite stores

During the Toronto and Montreal events, retail partners (including
BCBGMAXAZRIA, Jacob, Jean Coutu, Joe Fresh Style (in special pop-up
stores), Rogers and Winners) are offering the public substantial
discounts on NEW fall merchandise or gift with purchase.  In Toronto,
the party takes place on Bloor St. between Avenue Road and Yonge St. and
in Yorkville. Rogers Media’s Citytv will also be on the scene to cover
the festivities.   In Montreal, the celebration is on Ste. Catherine St.
between Mountain St. and McGill College Avenue. In both cities, inside
the stores, there will be refreshments, samplings, demos, prizes, gift
bags and entertainment. Other sponsors will also open their doors to
offer fabulous savings, too.  

An annual event
“Our readers across the country loved
our 2009 block party so much, we just had to make it an annual event,”
says LOULOU publisher Marie-José Desmarais. “Just like us, our readers
are passionate about shopping, and SHOP ‘TIL YOU DROP is an exciting
extension of our mandate at LOULOU to help our readers get great deals
on the hottest fashions and the latest looks.” There are even
after-parties in both cities: Shoppers are invited to rest their feet
and show off all the great fashions they scored at Ciao restaurant in
Toronto’s Yorkville and Camp Restaurant-Bar on Montreal’s Crescent St.

Last year, thousands of eager shoppers participated in the block parties
and online offerings, and the English and French websites received
almost a million page views.
