are those lulus?

No Comments 17 April 2012

lucky penny oftentimes catches herself quoting sh*t pilates girls say.

just before her reformer machine class at misfitstudio, they were squealing with excitement. is that a new bra? the answer is yes… and even better, it was on sale for twenty bucks.

the underpinning in question is the most awesome shade of pink… as in neon, duh. just like this lovely item on her wish list: marathon singlet in flash by lululemon.

not only is it lightweight and quick-drying (perfect for a hot yoga sesh or midday run), but also super pretty with dainty eyelets and scalloped trim… and long enough to cover her derrière.

it took about two months of pilates, but she finally learned how to stick out her butt. wheeeeeeeee!

balconnet bra

No Comments 03 April 2012

lucky penny and her ladies will need some extra support, especially when she is dancing around her empty living room like a maniac. “friday, i’m in love…”

la senza recently debuted their *new* balconnet bra… a push-up with versatile straps that can be worn 7 different ways. added lift, cute trims and ribbons also make this underpinning ultra-feminine.

not to mention… cute boyfriend is a fan, natch.

lucky penny is oftentimes guilty of dancing around her house in nothing but a t-shirt and knickers. cute boyfriend finds this rather endearing… the ’80s power ballads? er, not so much. “i don’t want to find another way to make it through the day with you…

um, she digressed.

drum roll, please… the winners (yes, plural) of the spec-tacular sunnies by kaytran eyewear are brittany, kathy and kortney. congratulations, lovelies!

i said i loved you, but i lied.” now back to the topic at hand: more free stuff. urbanears headphones, originally from sweden, will sure add a pop of colour to her spring wardrobe.

the plattan (pictured left in mustard) has a zoundplug for instant music sharing, so simply plug in a friend and enjoy. the medis (pictured right in grape) has an earclick construction, keeping them firmly in place while relieving pressure from the ear canal.

***psst… to win one of two urbanears (plattan or medis), simply leave a comment below telling us “what is your favourite album of all-time and why?“. the winners will be announced on tuesday, may 1st. good luck!

odwalla

lucky penny keeps the doctor away with an odwalla a day.

mother nature has been terribly moody as of late… summer one day, springtime the next week. to avoid sniffles or an unwanted sore throat, our heroine treats her cells to some superfood every single morning.

imagine apple juice and purées of peach, mango, strawberry and banana. all blended with wheat grass, barley grass, wheat sprouts, and spirulina, too.

grrrrrreen goodness. go!

***psst… also try mango tango and strawberry banana. a serving of fruit in a bottle!

lucky penny could get used to this beeeeeeeautiful spring weather. in fact, she is itching for cocktails on the patio. tequila, anyone?

our girl has long been turned off by the stuff until cute boyfriend suggested tequila tromba, an ultra-premium, boutique tequila.

throat burning shooters be gone! made in small batches, tromba is sweet, smooth and can easily be sipped. the best part is that… it is the only canadian-founded tequila out there competing against 13 multi-million dollar competitors, yet listed at a 40% discount to patrón.

lucky penny loves a good ol’ underdog, and this one spells w-i-n-n-i-n-g.
