lucky penny seems to have a soft spot for rodents.

last year, she fell in love with anna wintour mouse and her fashionable furry friends karl and coco… see why here.

this holiday season, lucky penny will surprise her little niece with an adorable find from auggie, mouse in a box by maileg. baby mice come in his or her very own matchbox bed, complete with a mattress, pillow and blanket. cuteness squared.

lucky penny has almost recovered from her halloween candy hangover, and christmas is just around the corner! she is already thinking of ways to spoil her adorable little niece.

last year, she bought her a barbie electric guitar that only plays “girls just wanna have fun”. lucky penny’s sister was less than impressed… her daughter has not stopped rockin’ it ever since.

when lucky penny heard about barbie loves joe fresh, she knew exactly what was going into her niece’s stocking. the collaboration features women’s and girls sleepwear… cozy, pink flannel pyjamas will be perfect to wear on christmas morning.

the sisters just might need a matching pair, too!

lucky penny is having one of *those* days… like a scene out of adventures in babysitting.

she loves spending time with her adorable baby niece… shopping, lunch, nap… what possibly could go wrong?

fall sunshine. blue skies. fluffy clouds. the perfect day for a stroll along yonge street… first stop: the *new* mexx flagship store. (note: their *new* maternity collection is sold here.)

while grown-ups shop, there is a playground to keep the little ones entertained. lucky penny could not resist the matching knit cardigans (cream for her, purple for baby)… but when she turned back (and she only looked away for a second), her niece was gone!

[insert heart attack here.]

thankfully the munchkin’s giggles gave her away… she was playing under a rack of parkas… and wearing a fur toque with pom-poms. phew.

laden with shopping bags and 10 years off her life, lucky penny (with kid in tow) crossed the street to grazie ristorante for a little pizza… and a large glass of vino.

let’s ignore the parking ticket on her windshield, shall we?

lucky penny, in elementary school, used to rock her neon-coloured plastic bracelets (stacked high to the elbow)… and especially loved the ones filled with glitter. the year was 1985.

now she rarely takes style cues from her niece, but silly bandz brought her back to the sandbox.

shaped in farm, zoo or marine animals (and many more, like every letter in the alphabet)… collect ‘em all, or trade for more… even sjp was spotted wearing one!
