lucky penny rarely invites cute boyfriend to work events… [insert boy bestie here]… but when she heard that harry rosen was hosting the launch of the *new* tesla electric car, she knew he would make a handsome gentleman caller.

after a quick trip through the store to pick up more of his favourite eton dress shirts, cute boyfriend made lucky penny promise not to roll her eyes at the automobile. *scout’s honour*

the next generation tesla is one hot little roadster. very impressed with what was on the inside… finally an electric car with some guts! it can go 400km without a charge, and has gorgeous sports car styling.

the perfect convertible for a road trip! buckle up.

lucky penny loves cute boyfriend‘s handsome face. she misses it terribly when he is gone. he travels quite a bit for work… like a lot.

flying twice a week for 8 months straight can take a toll on his skin and psyche, but cute boyfriend has his ryan bingham (clooney’s character in “up in the air”) routine down to a science.

a staple for his *airport approved* carry-on ziploc is cromwell and cruthers shaving oil. who needs bulky cans of shaving cream? a couple of drops of this unscented oil rubbed into his skin is all her boy needs to get a barber shop-worthy shave.

best of all… his mug is so soft that lucky penny can’t stop kissing him when he gets home!

lucky penny is a firm believer in 8 glasses a day… maybe a few more after spin class, or too much bubbly!

when she needs hydration in a heatwave… meet her mavea pitcher. lucky penny loves the mod design, how the chamber can be refilled without lifting a lid (run tap water directly into peephole window), and more importantly the way the acqua tastes.

best of all, it has a microchip to monitor the filter and measure water hardness, time and volume… so tech-geek cute boyfriend loves it, too! the pitcher comes in white, black… and red, just in time for the holidays… isn’t it christmas in july?

***psst… take the mavea tea test challenge… cup of tea will be murky no more!

lucky penny smells good. she has been told a countless number of times after a double bisous… and this is her secret.

rose ikebana from hermessence by hermès is her eau de toilette day and night… its subtle notes of rose petal and rhubarb make cute boyfriend weak in the knees.

in-house parfumer jean-claude ellena says, “beautiful and minimalist, the traditional japanese art of ikebana, arranging bouquets of cut flowers and leaves using very few elements, ideally corresponded to a form of expression i could transpose in a perfume. the smell of a rose early in the morning, damp, sprinkled with dew, delicate and light.” perfection.

there are 7 other fragrances in the hermessence collection, which can all be mixed to create a custom-scent for the wearer, but this is by far her favourite.

lucky penny is a hopeless romantic. she believes in love at first sight… but then her cold, black grinch heart laughed, and did a little jig (admit it, so did you!) while watching this pretty little ring wipe away heartbroken tears.

literally hours from finding out who ali the bachelorette chooses to be her one true love… will it be chris or roberto? even cute boyfriend has set his wager! lucky penny placed *all* bets on these beautiful baubles by kv bijou.

designer kelsey vanderhorst, based in british columbia, started handcrafting jewels in her studio home nearly two years ago. pieces are made of sterling silver and semi-precious gemstones, and inspired by the nature that surrounds her.

who needs a hubby-to-be and all the dramarama when ali has this gorgeous lemondrop ring?
