lucky penny has always secretly wanted to jump out of a cake… and here is her chance… drum roll, please… a cute boyfriend reader giveaway! finalement.

her friends at moovboots and gotstyle have generously donated a kick a** pair of men’s wellies… rubber on the outside, merino sheepskin on the inside. the winner can choose between army green (see above) or black, and in any size. the benjamins retail for $295.

***psst… carefully follow these rules to qualify: (a) find the golden boots in the gotstyle blog, (b) click on them, (c) sign into twitter, and (d) automatically tweet “the magic words” to enter. a twitter handle will be drawn at random. the contest is *now* over… congratulations, christopher r.!

lucky penny rarely walks out of the house without a dab or spritz. after all, it was mademoiselle chanel herself who said, “a woman who does not wear perfume has no future.”

while her signature scents range from hermessence rose ikebana by hermès to woodlawn by augustina, she occasionally follows her nose to make cute boyfriend weak in the knees.

she recently stumbled upon wildbloom by banana republic… their newest floral, fruity chypre parfum has notes like patchouli, guava, pink grapefruit and wild camellia. housed in a beautiful bouteille, the oversized leather flower also doubles as a hair elastic. très chic!

***psst… before it hits stores on february 11th, tweet @luckypennydaily, use the hashtag #wildbloomcanada, and tell us why you deserve a bottle! contest ends this friday.

lucky penny is ready for the *ultimate* wedding planning weekend. she has it on good authority that there is only *one* place to be for *two* days.

at the carlu from january 14-16th, the wedding show features 125 hand-selected vendors… imagine the *absolute* finest photographers, decorators, florists, dress shops and planners to help lucky penny and her lovely bride plan the most luxurious wedding. originally founded by catherine lash of the wedding co., this annual event creates a community that links brides with each other and event professionals.

this year, the crane chandelier project will celebrate the show’s 10th anniversary. 10,000 origami cranes each bearing the name and date of an engaged or married couple will be fashioned into a giant centerpiece… a creative representation of the special bond all brides share.

oh, and don’t forget about the cake! city-wide bakeries will be offering delicious samples… red velvet, chocolate ganache and tahitian vanilla, oh my! with such a difficult task at hand, lucky penny must sample them all. it’s her job, natch.

***psst… we will be giving away 4 tickets (2 per winner), so simply follow @luckypennydaily next monday and tuesday… the *two* first correct answers win!

lucky penny thought it happened innocently enough… when cute boyfriend popped the question, “out of cologne, baby. will you help me find a new one?”

for lucky penny, this was a big deal… finding a scent is *very* personal. however, she knew exactly where to go: holt renfrew.

there, she picked up marc jacobs’ bang, his *new* men’s fragrance. it features spicy pepper notes balanced by soft and warm woodsy undertones. meet sex in a bottle.

cute boyfriend loves how the bottle is strong enough to be tossed in a hockey bag. while his girl loves nuzzling into his neck. clearly a win-win!

***psst… this afternoon, “tweet to win” a full-sized bottle… follow @cuteboyfriend on twitter!!! only when prompted to answer a *skill-testing* question, send us an @ message with the correct answer. read this post very carefully!

bang makes the perfect stocking stuffer, lovelies… but hopefully, a gent will win it.

lucky penny would happily jump into a delorean, and set the clock back 10 years… to senior year in high school… when she was wasted on bacardi breezers at a dance, and sneaked out of the house to meet a boy. *young, carefree and stupid*

okay she knows this is not a possibility, but a girl can dream… and thank goodness for nanoblur, a new correction cream that erases all minor imperfections, and instantly makes skin look 10 years younger in 40 seconds flat.

it is only $19, and sold at rexall pharmaplus stores across canada (except quebec). done and done!

no more lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, or enlarged pores… even in high-definition… now all that lucky penny can worry about is getting carded. *fist pump*

***psst… play our @luckypennydaily “tweet to win” contest, and you could win 1 of *two* tubes… tell us what makes you feel young… and don’t forget to use the hashtag #LPDnanoblur to qualify!!! contest ends this friday.
