lucky penny is packing for another long weekend road trip… to new york city with her parents… “these streets will make you feel brand new. big lights will inspire you.”

to keep warm while she naps in the backseat, heading on the highway (looking for adventure), or in case of a flat tire… lucky penny brought along her portola sweater by billabong… beauty of a navajo print and flirty fringe along bottom.

***psst… follow @luckypennydaily this weekend for live tweets from nyc!

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 not only turned 9 months old this week… but this is also her 200th post! *cheers and applause*

our blog is based on a fabulous 15+ year friendship… so thank you for reading, lovelies… here is to 200 more adventures starring our favourite gal about town, cute boyfriend, boy bestie, pennies in yvr and yul, lucky penny’s family… and arch-nemesis, too!

“think where man’s glory most begins and ends. and say my glory was that i had such friends.”—william butler yeats
