lucky penny has always wanted *big* hair… the bigger, the better. she is fairly certain watching dallas as a wee one with mumsy is the root of this particular obsession.
a few spritzes of oribe dry texturizing spray on just-washed hair is all she needs… minus the tease. air-dry for the perfect bed head… or backcomb for a casual chignon. [no sticky aqua net necessary.]
it also works as a dry shampoo for those “i slept through my alarm” mornings. matte powder spray removes any oil and grime, and its floral-musky scent smells really good. trust.
***psst… available at donato salon + spa.
lucky penny is no tree hugger or granola, but believes that every little bit helps… and quite proud to debut a *new* feature called “greener penny”.
dutzi design was created by ariane dutzi, a former fashion editor who traded in her louboutins for flip flops, and escaped to mexico to start up a line of burlap handbags.
all proceeds from her handmade “rescue” totes go to helping mayan women in the yucatán in unfortunate situations… many faced with not being able to feed their children or themselves.
***psst… guest blog written by the lovely and gracious kristinann janishefski.
lucky penny can now shop 24 hours 7 days a week… it is almost midnight, and she *just* bought this awesome vintage-style stallion bangle from banana republic.
shopping online is *now* available in canada… plus free shipping (orders over $50), and free returns on all sister sites including gap and old navy.
a dear friend also named said cuff, perhaps after one too many cocktails, and let’s just say it rhymes with “horatio”. *wink*
lucky penny is a jack of all trades… from studying business and medicine, to reading screenplays and reporting on ready-to-wear shows… her wardrobe better keep up!
it is no secret that every lady who lunches needs a few classic staples… shift dress, pencil skirt, trousers, cashmere sweaters, and white button-down shirt. moon at the bay is their *new* line featuring all of the above… plus a lace dress, sequined bolero and wool coats… and most for under $60.
even more? lucky penny cannot hardly wait to pair their stirrup pants with her favourite loeffler randall boots. giddy up!
lucky penny loves discovering new designers, but often finds herself gravitating towards industry veterans… the oldies but goodies, non?
through thick and thin, vancouver-based dace has always been one of her *absolute* favourites. this eponymous collection, named after dace moore and co-managed by adele tetangco, is girly but chic, pretty but cool, well-made but affordable… lucky penny likes to think these words describe herself… except maybe for the affordable bit. *wink*
they just recently collaborated with illustrator dallas shaw to create the most adorable dace paper dolls. hand drawn and painted with watercolour… free to download, and collect all three! a new look will be posted once a month until the *new* fall collection is unveiled.
***psst… leave a comment below, and tell us why you deserve to win this beautiful caressa dress by dace!!! a winner will be announced on monday, september 6th.

lucky penny rarely invites cute boyfriend to work events… [insert boy bestie here]… but when she heard that harry rosen was hosting the launch of the *new* tesla electric car, she knew he would make a handsome gentleman caller.
after a quick trip through the store to pick up more of his favourite eton dress shirts, cute boyfriend made lucky penny promise not to roll her eyes at the automobile. *scout’s honour*
the next generation tesla is one hot little roadster. very impressed with what was on the inside… finally an electric car with some guts! it can go 400km without a charge, and has gorgeous sports car styling.
the perfect convertible for a road trip! buckle up.
