After years of being mercilessly teased by the Topshop rumour-mill, the wait is finally over.  The Bay just revealed that its Yorkdale Mall store in Toronto will house the first Canadian outpost of Topshop and Topman.  Yay! Though the mall's store-within-a-store concept won't open until September 2011, The Topshop and Topman Summer Takeover will allow us to pre-shop at temporary pop-up stores throughout the summer, featuring the brand's summer essentials, free frozen treats (yum!) and a shopping soundtrack provided by high-profile DJs.  The first 200 shoppers each day will receive a limited-edition reusable fabric bag and the weekend shopper deemed to have the best Toronto Street Style will win tickets to the Yorkdale VIP Opening Party in September and a $500 shopping spree with a Topshop Personal Shopper. 

Now all you have to do is mark your calendars (and save some serious room on your credit cards):

Friday, June 17; from noon to 8pm, Saturday, June 18; from 10am to 8pm and Sunday, June 19; from 10am to 5pm
