“We know our readers across the country absolutely love to shop, so
naturally we want to give them the ultimate shopping experience,” says LOULOU publisher Marie-José Desmarais. “Shop ‘Til You Drop not only entails
special deals from our fantastic retail sponsors, it offers practical
fashion and trend advice from our LOULOU shopping experts—and an evening of fun, retail therapy!”
