pantone, phone home

1 Comment 30 April 2012

lucky penny is a pinwheel of colour, as of late… neon this, pastel that. what next?

her trusty sidekick, siri, needs a *new* technicolour dream coat, too.

case scenario has collaborated with pantone, the universal language of colour, and designed a rainbow of iphone, ipad and macbook cases… in pantone blue 7462, green 354, or “2012 colour of the year” tangerine tango to hue a few.

benefit bad gal

No Comments 25 April 2012

lucky penny has mastered the art of batting eyelashes… to get her way, natch.

no one is immune to her charms, especially after applying badgal lash mascara by benefit. for extra full lashes, she coats both sides of her upper and lower lashes with its oversized brush, then flutters away!

she prefers this super black formula, but there is also plum that intensifies her natural eye colour, and brown that defines every lash with a slim-line brush.

no clumps. no lumps.

***psst… another cult favourite of hers is benetint, a rose-tinted lip and cheek stain. did you know that it was originally created for an exotic dancer in the 1970s?

eos

2 Comments 24 April 2012

lucky penny, a true romantic at heart, quietly looks forward to a kiss goodbye from cute boyfriend every single morning.

after he leans in for a gentle peck on her lips, she cannot help but to smile in return… and as he walks out the door, he will always turn back to look at her once more and wink. one of the many reasons why she loves him so.

eos, which stands for evolution of smooth, is a *new* line of lip balms that are organic and 100% natural. shaped like easter eggs, they are packaged as a trio like strawberry sorbet, sweet mint and passion fruit.

simply twist off the top, and pucker up!

cute boyfriend

stolen riches

No Comments 23 April 2012

lucky penny‘s cute boyfriend is one dapper dude.

on more than one occasion, he has taken longer to get ready for date night than she… his shirt perfectly pressed, tie skillfully knotted, and oxfords expertly polished. now, do not get her started on his laces.

stolen riches, made in canada since 1915, are premium laces guaranteed to outlast the shoes. owner david barclay’s family has been making them for over four generations, and through two world wars.

they come in three different sizes (for dress shoes and boots), and in a range of colours like huckleberry yellow and woodlawn white, to parachute maroon and happiest orange.

for the sartorially obsessed, it is rather entertaining to read the captions explaining their origins. for example, nicklaus green is “in honour of jack nicklaus and his record six green jackets at the masters”, while bubba blue is “named after monica lewinsky’s infamous blue dress”. brilliant.

red delicious

No Comments 20 April 2012

lucky penny was once a teacher’s pet.

in truth, she was never a fan of apples… unless mumsy peeled off the skin… and thought it was the best way to rid her lunchbox of this unwanted forbidden fruit.

with a pattern sourced from a 1950s scarf (and refashioned by their design studio), this mini delicious apple short by j.crew is much more appetizing. she also lusted over a merino wool sweater with the exact same print, but the shorts were the smarter option seeing that her spanish holiday is just around the corner.

don’t you agree?
