October 2, 2008: On Thursday October 16th, 2008 ChickAdvisor's signature Shop Crawl hits Toronto's Little Italy. Like a pub crawl but for "Chicks", the Shop Crawl provides ChickAdvisor members with exclusive discounts and after hours shopping at select boutiques in hot neighborhoods, followed by an after-party with prizes, snacks and swag.
Being ChickAdvisor's fourth Shop Crawl, organizers anticipate it, like the previous three will sell out. "Our Shop Crawl is a unique activity for our members that incorporates their favourite things; from shopping, delicious food and free swag to bonding with other women," says ChickAdvisor Co-Founder, Ali de Bold. "The value the members get more than makes up for the cost of the ticket."
For $25, shoppers get discounts of 20-25% off at six participating boutiques, expert shopping advice from stylists Giselle Rojo Del Ponte (Where'd You Get That? and ChickChat TV), Olga Barsky (She Does The City) and Christa Jean (Petite Fashionista), a gift bag with makeup from sponsors Maybelline New York and Petite Feet Sample Sales and an after party at Vecchio Frak where they will be treated to free make-overs from Joy David-Tilberg (Makeup Junkie, ChickChat TV), thin crust pizzas, drinks, prizes and a fashion walk-off where the best outfit purchased that night will win a cash prize.
Popular Toronto bloggers are providing gift baskets loaded with $150 - $250 of their favourite products including Anita Clarke of I want- I got, Joy David-Tilberg of Makeup Junkie, Krizia from My Beauty Match, Janine Falcon from Beauty Geeks, and Shannae Ingleton from What Women Want.
Stores participating in Shop Crawl #4 include American Apparel, Girl Friday, Balisi, Lilliput Hats, Ziggy's At Home and Red Pegasus.
