this little piggy
lucky penny saves every found coin, but… a tattered ziploc bag could hold them no longer.
meet her *new* adorable glass piggy bank by roost… with a cork stopper for a snout.
our busy blogger bee just bought a house, so she will be pinching precious pennies whenever possible.
an even better way to start off twenty twelve, this little piggy is not at the market… he is on sale. hurry!

smoothie smudgie
lucky penny loves to play with makeup.
when she was just a pretty young thing, she would rouge her pout with mumsy’s lipstick… and dream of the day when she would be a lady. now all grown up, our girl prefers to keep her daily makeup routine to five minutes flat. there are, of course, times when she craves a little more drama. ooh, la la.
enter clinique’s lid smoothie antioxidant 8-hour eye colour. this *new* creamy eyeshadow comes in a little tube, and packs a punch with protective antioxidants, and refreshing caffeine and cucumber extracts.
yours truly uses a small dab of #11 (currant affair) for a sheer and natural je ne sais quoi. for après sept, build on the base colour with a second or third layer, and a smudge of black eyeliner.
et voilá, knock em’ dead!
happy second birthday!
lucky penny turns two today.
who, my darlings? there was a wedding, jetsetting to san francisco, galapagos islands, nyc and sin city, a new house, fireball… but do not fret, our busy blogger bee is baaaaaaaaaaaaack.
she even bought herself a birthday gift, a red resin bangle by lulu frost for j. crew. its turquoise glass stones set in an art deco casting made her immediately swoon. #armparty
*exactly* two years ago, two lovelies (whose fifteen year friendship started back in awkward grade seven) had an idea to pen a blog… about everything (and anything) they adore.
lucky penny loves to shop all things gorge, indulge her culinary palate, and explore the city (here and abroad). these golden nuggets must only be shared amongst her nearest and dearest.
lucky penny can’t keep a secret. can you? happy two-year anniversary! xo

segway
lucky penny adores being a tourist in her own city.
when a nearest and dearest was in town for a visit, she was more than delighted to show him right around… segue into segway, the two-wheeled traveler that looks nerdy but oh so fun.
jetset penny got a historical tour from chris, her segway of ontario guide, in the distillery district. bonus points for the chocolate tasting and beer sampling from mill street brew.
she may be back at month’s end for their ghost tours, but will need cute boyfriend to hold her tight if she sees an apparition. boo!
i love you, ok?
lucky penny knows cute boyfriend loves her, but… sometimes it is all about the little things like a love note.
a close second is gary taxali’s “i love you, ok?”. the book is an illustrative love letter to fans who know his vivid and fun drawings. no words. no pagination. pictures are louder than words, non?
***psst… his book signing is tonight at the art gallery of ontario from 6-9pm, featuring his two *new* books, “i love you, ok?” and “mono taxali”.
