TORONTO, Sept. 2 /CNW/ - Calling all fashionistas and shopping enthusiasts! To celebrate five years as Canada's Shopping Expert, LOULOU magazine, in association with VISA, is throwing a Block Party in Toronto on Sept. 23 that will transform Bloor St. into THE ultimate shopping hotspot.
<<
Deep discounts at some of Canada's favourite stores
---------------------------------------------------
>>
Offering deep discounts of up to 45% off on the latest fall fashion, shoes, handbags, jewelry and makeup, LOULOU's Block Party will take place between Yonge St. and Avenue Road on Bloor and feature some of Canada's favourite retailers, including: Banana Republic, BCBG MAXAZRIA, Gap, Guess, Joe Fresh Style (in a special pop-up store at Sassafraz Restaurant in Yorkville), Puma, Town Shoes and Winners, among others.
<<
Kate Voegele live
-----------------
>>
That's not all: There will be a live acoustic performance by One Tree Hill TV actress and singing sensation Kate Voegele (and one of LOULOU's September cover girls), refreshments, stuffed goodie bags, talks about fall trends by LOULOU editors, makeup applications courtesy of Revlon-and much more!
<<
A national celebration
----------------------
>>
For Canadian fashionistas outside of Toronto (and Montreal, which is having its own exciting Birthday Block Party Sept. 24), there are still many ways to celebrate. Online, Loulou5th.com features special VIP Deals, which can be used to get daily discounts from major national retailers.
PLUS, there is $10,000 in Visa prepaid cards to be won.
<<
A fifth birthday bash
---------------------
>>
As LOULOU turns five, there is much to celebrate. Since the 2004 launch, LOULOU has had a phenomenal circulation increase: 45% for English edition and 21% for French edition. Not only that, LOULOU now reaches more than one million readers with each issue.
LOULOUMAGAZINE.COM also joins in the celebration by launching mobile coupons, a first for a Canadian publication. Now LOULOU website visitors can register to get mobile coupons and deals where a bar code to be scanned by merchants is placed on their mobile devices (cellphone, PDA, smartphone).
"We are really proud to celebrate five years of LOULOU, but it's not really about us - it's about our readers, with whom we share a great passion - shopping!" says LOULOU editor-in-chief Claude Laframboise. "The Block Party and VIP deals are our way of thanking those readers who count on us to bring them great advice on fashion, trends and shopping issue after issue, year after year."
