lucky penny has always secretly wanted to jump out of a cake… and here is her chance… drum roll, please… a cute boyfriend reader giveaway! finalement.

lucky penny rarely walks out of the house without a dab or spritz. after all, it was mademoiselle chanel herself who said, “a woman who does not wear perfume has no future.”

while her signature scents range from hermessence rose ikebana by hermès to woodlawn by augustina, she occasionally follows her nose to make cute boyfriend weak in the knees.

she recently stumbled upon wildbloom by banana republic… their newest floral, fruity chypre parfum has notes like patchouli, guava, pink grapefruit and wild camellia. housed in a beautiful bouteille, the oversized leather flower also doubles as a hair elastic. très chic!

***psst… before it hits stores on february 11th, tweet @luckypennydaily, use the hashtag #wildbloomcanada, and tell us why you deserve a bottle! contest ends this friday.

lucky penny has a severe case of the winter blahs… with so much time spent indoors, she has an overwhelming urge to redecorate. #cabinfever

now, where to start? homesav is a *new* members-only website that offers flash sales (up to 70% off) on designer home décor products… sales only last 24-72 hours, so she was quick to draw, and snagged up some beautiful pieces.

a retro starburst mirror, and bright red barry chair (see above) are guaranteed to brighten up her den… and her mood.

the site just launched its artisan program, where one to three canadian artists will be showcased in an etsy-like feature every weekend.

***psst… we will be giving away a $50 voucher, so leave a comment below and tell us why you deserve to win!
