boo! trick or treat.

lucky penny may have a weakness for shoes, bags and jewels… but nothing tickles her fancy quite like her nerdles.

always on the lookout for a new pair, she hit the jackpot when she discovered fysh uk at tastemakers lounge during tiff. taking inspiration from the sea, like shimmering turquoise to the most magical magenta, there is a frame for even the most finicky.

now cute boyfriend is looking for his own… he knows his girl cannot resist a scruffy face with spectacles. enter johnny depp. *swoon*

lucky penny admits it. she has always been a francophile.

all things french rank high on her list…  such as the achingly picturesque town of saint-rémy-de-provence, hot croissants et café au lait (ideally in paris), chanel style, louis vuitton leather goods, and… yes, the irresistible fragrance world of guerlain.

the french perfumery, however, never quite worked with lucky penny’s chemistry. no matter how much the luxury scents seduced her nose (or how beautiful they looked on her dresser), there was always a creamy vanilla nuance that never seemed worked on her skin—that is, until she discovered idylle.

a light citrus, floral and musk scent, idylle is an anomaly in the guerlain portfolio, and a perfect compliment to lucky penny’s dna. one of the ingredients is ylang ylang, an essential oil from the pacific rim, which is known to be an aphrodisiac… cute boyfriend can attest to that.

finally, a guerlain perfume that this girl can say is “juste pour moi.”

lucky penny, for the past few years, has been trying to grow out her hair… probably an extreme reaction to the awkward ’80s bowl cuts of her youth. thank you, mumsy… will never live down “mushroom head” as a nickname! *beet red face*

to keep her locks long and lush (as she is not naturally blessed with thick, shiny hair), lucky penny uses moroccanoil. a couple of drops of this rich argan oil treatment on damp hair infuses her mane with antioxidants.

it is also a natural uv protector… the best defense against both summer sun and winter dryness. [insert sassy over-the-shoulder hair toss here.]

lucky penny can remember the exact moment when the *blissful* honeymoon period of candlelit dinners… and an *always* spotless bathroom… was over.

she came home one day from work, and there was cute boyfriend… in his tighty-whiteys playing xbox (last year’s christmas present). lucky penny cracked a huge smile, stripped down to her skivvies, and challenged him to a game!

have you heard about mark? the guy at home in his underwear raising money to help fight testicular cancer… while streaming live in his boxers for one month?
