LOULOU Celebrates its 5th Anniversary in Style!

For some reason, I thought I was half-way through the month of September already. Perhaps it’s because if I haven’t been at school, I’m at The Ability Project office or at home freelancing. Thinking that the month was almost done with, I began savoring the issue that would follow the September issue of LOULOU magazine. On top of the fact that the September issue is considered to be the holy grail of the fashion scene, this issue celebrates the 5th anniversary of LOULOU Magazine’s existence.

Included in this issue are tons of great specials! Two events to note are the “Birthday Block Parties” in Toronto and in Montreal on the 23rd and 24th respectively of this month. What’s included? Well, you get to strut through the chicest blocks of the cities and get free goodies, save on your purchases, and help give back to Shelternet. In Toronto, expect savings of up to 45% off regularly priced in-store merchandise at stores, such as Puma and Banana Republic, and gift certificates to reward your spending at others, such as Joe Fresh Style and Town Shoes.

To add some spice to this fab issue, LOULOU gets an exclusive with singer Kate Voegele, offers five hot work outfits (which I need!), sixteen hot trends for fall, and one “must-have” item from each staff member that brings you LOULOU Magazine.

There’s still time to pick up your copy today, so head over to Indigo/Chapters and get yours today!

During my two week stay home in Toronto, I managed to get my hands on LouLou Magazine’s December issue and immediately flipped to Valérie Schiltz’s eco-friendly suggestions to find the following (click the image for a larger version):

LouLou December 2008

Quoting the description from JUZD Streetwear’s press page:

LouLou Magazine, Canada’s source for great fashion finds and tips, always treats its readers with party finds and last minute holiday shopping in their December issues. This past December’s issue is no different. Amongst the dozens of suggestions for shoppers, one can find a variety of products, including stationary, home decor, makeup, and clothing.

Going all out for this holiday issue, one excitedly notes Valérie Schiltz’s two-paged spread of eco-friendly and sustainable products. One of such products listed is the original JUZD shirt. Highlighted as a “fashion favour,” Schiltz suggests the designer bamboo tee for the “fashionista who makes a point of encouraging the work of local artisans and takin care of Planet Earth.”
