pastel pants

lucky penny is suffering from a bad case of indecisiveness.

behind door number one is j brand mid-rise skinny leg trousers in juniper. second to neon, her obsession with mint green is well-documented.

no contest she exclaims, except what about door number two? j brand mid-rise skinny trousers in coral is the loveliest shade for spring, and reminds her of summer.

um, too close to call. vote now!

health, style

are those lulus?

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!

lucky penny is a cougar… yup, there she said it.

rather than be ashamed, why not embrace her feline temptress self with a gold diamond pavé cougar ring by anita ko? the price tag is a few pay cheques deep, but cute boyfriend is listening… and saving pennies, natch. he would be wise to avoid a cat fight.

this beauty, as well as her less sparkly girlfriend, are both available at augustina. rawr!

uno

lucky penny can occasionally be superstitious… it is friday the thirteenth, after all.

if a penny is found tails up, or if a black cat crosses her path, or if she walks under a ladder, bad luck will follow. but then again, life is like a deck of cards. she wins some. she loses some. our girl will never quit… until she screams uno!

uno is a one-night-only, street art show pop-up taqueria… say that 10 times fast… where she will feast on tacos, tostados and churros from la carnita… and prolly purchase pieces for the empty walls in her new home. admission is free. there will be dope tunes spinning, too.

***psst… all featured artists (from south of the border, as well as local talent like her darling amber j) and event details are listed below. see ya later, alligators!

citrus crepe

lucky penny has spring fever… and the only cure is retail therapy.

now that her neon addiction is leveling off, she is itching for pastels like mint, cantaloupe and lemon.

this citrus-hued, crepe tuxedo blazer by rag & bone is exactly what the doctor ordered. notes about its perfect tailoring and signature pill-sized buttons are written in chicken scratch on the prescription pad.

***psst… one of lucky penny’s favourites, the narwhal, and their next door neighbour, a children’s shop called advice from a caterpillar, are hosting a pop-up in the west end. do not miss it!
