lucky penny may not be lying on a beach, sipping margaritas or cavorting with cabana boys (much to cute boyfriend‘s delight). but… no one ever said she cannot look the part.

in the spirit of daydreaming, when the rays come out to play, so do her *new* spec-tacular sunnies by kaytran eyewear.

with an emphasis on fit, lucky penny will no longer fret about unsightly marks on her cheeks, or frames sliding down her nose. kathy tran put two years worth of research and development to come up with “the kaytran fit” focusing on tweaks to the lens, bridge and temples. her eyes deserve some l.b.t.

named after some of kathy’s besties, the debut collection features 20 frames in 7 styles… all designed in canada, and made in italy.

***psst… to win a pair of your very own, simply visit kaytran eyewear online, and leave a comment below… explaining “which sunglasses best describe you?”. are you a jennifer or an aiden? the winner will be announced on monday, april 2nd. bonne chance!

lucky penny is spring cleaning… not enough hangers for her *new* purchases from nyc. on second thought, maybe she should just buy *more* hangers?

sarah wins a personal bra fitting from tryst lingerie, and a $100 voucher towards any underpinning of her choice.
