urbanears

36 Comments 02 April 2012

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!

hashtag arm party

No Comments 31 March 2012

lucky penny thinks there ain’t no party like a hashtag arm party.

while quote unquote window shopping in nyc, she stumbled upon a trunk show at henri bendel. much to her delight, a whole wall of dannijo beauties welcomed her.

after much hemming and hawing, lucky penny walked away with the neon pink and orange giulia bracelet. another one bites the dust. this accoutrement will perfectly complement her sinatra necklace. #putabibonit

every piece is handmade in new york… with love.

valentine k

No Comments 29 March 2012

lucky penny has a weakness for cashmere… and elbow patches.

valentine k, which debuted last fall, is a *new* luxe collection of knits. now in its second season, spring features pullovers, cardigans and hooded sweaters in a variety of colours ranging from lime punch and pink icing to ocean blue and lavender purple.

every set of patches, in leather or suede, pops in a contrasting hue or geometric pattern. “the pairing of sugary sweet colours with rustic feeling textures is unexpected. i love that by adding an accent, you take a simple sweater and turn it into something special,” says designer lauren mclachlan.

while working in retail as a buyer, she realized a need for cashmere that is well-priced and designed in canada. “valentine is my grandmother marge’s middle name (she was born on valentine’s day) and the k stands for my late grandmother, nanny kay. they are my inspiration,” she continues. “they embody such elegance and grace, and always look so put together.”

our blogger bee already owns three… and wants to collect ‘em all.

***psst… meet the designer this saturday from 1-3pm at tnt hazelton lanes in toronto. trunk show starts tomorrow, and runs all weekend long!

c is for cookie

No Comments 20 March 2012

lucky penny never takes it off, or leaves home without it… in the shower, while sleeping, or even during pilates class.

her dainty initial pendant by jennifer meyer is always gracefully resting below her collarbone. it is the perfect necklace for layering, and from a.m. to p.m. every letter of the alphabet is anchored by a delicate gold cable chain and sprinkled with precious pavé diamonds.

p is for penny, but… c is for cute boyfriend.
