lucky penny enjoys a little sibling rivalry. especially when it comes to counting who has the most presents under the tree. tee-hee!

for sister…

when they were little, the girls loved playing dress-up in mumsy’s closet. they would layer baubles upon trinkets, and laugh for hours. a gorgeous ring by becky kelso would be perfect for her big sis. these delicately handcrafted designs are at her favourite jewel box, augustina, in yorkville. (lucky penny will also pop in next door at auggie, and find something for her adorable baby niece.) ***this eve, invite-only cocktail party to celebrate their newly-renovated shops. she promises to report back soon.

for brother…

much like don draper, lucky penny’s brother is a creative director at an advertising agency. in an exquisitely tailored suit, his taste for the finer things would extend to an expensive bottle of scotch (new lcbo just opened at king and spadina), and a set of beautiful double old-fashioneds from williams-sonoma. his guide to picking up women* is sort of like this…

step 1:
when in doubt, remain absolutely silent.

step 2:
when asked about your past… give vague, open-ended answers.

step 3:
have a great name.

step 4:
look fantastic in a suit,
look fantastic in casual wear,
look fantastic in anything,
sound good,
smell good,
kiss good,
strut around with supreme confidence,
be uncannily successful at your job,
blow people away everytime you say anything,
take six hour lunches,
disappear for weeks at a time,
lie to everyone about everything,
drink and smoke constantly,
…basically be don draper.
