Shop Crawl 4 Top Pick List

Posted by Ali | Saturday September 27, 2008

You have your ticket for the Shop Crawl, you've convinced your best friend to join you... now what to buy? Though you have from 6-9 to shop, it's easy to get caught up in one store leaving less than enough time to explore the rest of them properly. You need a solid game plan. We've done a little homework (and the math) to help you get ready for October 16th! These are our top picks from each store:

1. Sterling Silver Swallow Necklace by Zippan Designs, a local Toronto designer. Available at Red Pegasus. This necklace is so beautiful, I wanted to snap it up on the spot. Hand made with sterling silver, this necklace comes in several different gorgeous designs. It's available online on Etsy too, but it's more expensive there. Regular Price $70. Shop Crawl discounted price = $52.50

2. Bos & Co "Ariel" patent bootie style pumps. Available at Balisi. This shoe is a big trend for fall and one of Balisi's best sellers. Pair it with tights/pantyhose and a mini or wear them to the office with dress pants. Regular price $129.99. Shop Crawl discounted price = $103.99

3. American Apparel Bandeau Pencil Dress. Available at American Apparel. This dress can be worn in so many different ways, it is one of their best sellers. I am also told they will have their new Vintage collection of clothing ready in time for the Shop Crawl!

Regular Price $41. Shop Crawl discounted price = $36.90** When you spend $50 or more, you'll also get a $5 gift card. We recommend grabbing 2 pairs of colourful pantyhose in a bright red or blue hue for $12.60 each.

5. Soia & Kyo Margo H Wool Coat. Available at Girl Friday. Soia & Kyo is a Canadian brand from Montreal that makes gorgeous coats you are guaranteed to get compliments on. October is a great time to get a winter coat before the snow hits. Regular Price $280. Shop Crawl discounted price = $224.

6. Lilliput Original New Tyrolean Hat in Leopard. Available at Lilliput Hats. All Lilliput hats are hand made in the very store you buy it from. You can actually watch hats being made as you shop. You won't find selection or quality like this anywhere else. Regular Price $170. Shop Crawl discounted price = $136.

7. Patent Handbags in assorted colours. Available at Balisi. There are so many fabulous bags to choose from here you will have to pick for yourself. Styles usually only come with one or two of each so it's all first come first served. Regular Average Price $65. Shop Crawl Discount = $52 depending on the base price of the bag. (Discount is 20% on everything)
