MasterCard Stylicity 2013

World MasterCard Fashion Week is in full swing and with it, a strong desire to shop.  Just me? On Thursday, Stylicity hosted an exclusive event for a select group of editors and bloggers, complete with a private streetcar (ooh la laaa) and a private tour of some of the coolest hidden gems in Toronto. We hit up GOTSTYLE Menswear, pretty Parisian Boutique Canon Blanc, the super edgy Sauvage, ultra-charming 69 Vintage, and Hammam Spa, where I could have gladly stayed all day.  We finished off our afternoon with a yummy lunch at Crush Wine Bar served up by Trista Sheen of TopChef Canada.  As someone who's currently too busy (and too out-of-town) to regularly wander Toronto's neighbourhoods, this was so much fun.

As the official retail program for World MasterCard Fashion Week, Stylicity consists of a network of local retailers, spas and restaurants in Toronto offering unique discounts and experiences to customers throughout the month, including Teatro Verde, Banana Republic, Pink Tartan and Intermix, plus online etailers like eLUXE, asos, and Revolve Clothing.

Since launching in 2011, Stylicity has grown to include partnerships with more than 150 local Toronto retailers, restaurants and online national brands, all of which are offering sweet discounts until the end of this month when you use your MasterCard.
