lucky penny loves her basics… and fall is her *favourite* season to stock up… only this time, for cute boyfriend.

he can leave his car in park… because getting around on his two-wheeler is much more rugged for… er, cute cyclist. levi’s commuter denim is perfect for such expeditions.

their rolled-up jeans are not only stylish, but also functional with 3M reflectivity… and with all of the stuff in his back pocket, levi’s made a utility waistband designed for u-lock storage.

lucky for him, he can get the jeans at lost & found on dundas west… alongside plenty of handsome-looking shirts from libertine-libertine, unis, and wolf vs. goat.

commuter bonus: a cuppa joe for the road.

lucky penny knows it is not all about the bride.

for the first few of months of being engaged, most discussions revolve around the dress, the shoes, the cake and the flowers.  but… the handsome groom deserves to look his best, too.

desperate for help with his upcoming nuptials, lucky penny called on the famed tailor to all bay street suits, p. elliot custom clothiers.

elliot falovitch, with a suitcase full of dapper sartorial elegance, will personally consult on fabrics for shirts, jackets and suits… all custom fitted and monogrammed.

the groom-to-be selected a classic, satin lapel 007 tux with a deep oxblood lining and matching black vest… as well as a soft gold pocket square, made-to-match the bride’s shoesies, of course.

wait! her shoes? stay tuned…

lucky penny is sometimes patient enough to wait and wear something adorable for the first time. par example, cute boyfriend‘s birthday dinner ce soir.

it was meant to be… last one in her size *on sale* at tnt, this romper by parisian brand, sandro, is too precious for words. she is also a sucker for anything with buttons and ruffles… and red is her best colour.

pretty damn close to a birthday suit… all wrapped up in nothing but a big bow! bonne fête, mon petit ami.

je t’aime.

lucky penny is always in the know… she has a sixth sense for these things.

in early january, a *new* boutique slash coffee bar popped up… in her favourite nabe… dundas west, natch. lost & found, founded by jonathan elias, zai rajkotwala and justin veiga, has (yup, you heard it right!) caffeine and clothing, the two loves of her life.

with brands like joomi lim, libertine-libertine, and wolf vs goat, lost & found will have both lucky penny and cute boyfriend dressed to the nines for spring.

for her… a sweet, little cream and gold dress by charlotte ronson and ax + apple gold-plated keyhole necklace, perfect for her packed social calendar. for him… a handsome striped half-button down shirt by unis for date night.

the store is a piece of art in itself, and what makes it even more unique is that the owners built, painted and designed the interior… everything from furnishings to the racks are hand-picked, many of them are vintage and each have their own unique story.

coffee beans are imported from chicago-based metropolis coffee company… the macchiatos are, quite simply, to die for. stop by, chat with the charming shopkeepers, and find a gem for your wardrobe!
