Events: Modalu London SS12 press day

Last week I attended the press day for iconic handbag brand Modalu London.

Known for making Pippa Middleton's handbag of choice, Modalu London are experimenting with more modern styles alongside their classic designs for their Spring/Summer 2012 collection, featuring a new mix of fabrics and colours ranging from cool ice-cream hues to vivid flamboyant brights.

Not only was I extremely impressed by Modalu's fresh approach to colour and a more modern wearable style, but I was also surprised by the prices. Although they're slightly more costly than a high street bag, Modalu's handbags are made from quality materials (their leather is beautifully soft and detailed) and prices range from £49 to £220 - definitely worth investing in!

If you're friends with me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter, you will have witnessed me rambling on and on about a competition being run by the fine folks from my-wardrobe.com. The aim of the game was to style an outfit choosing from the many amazing pieces available to buy on the site, and the look with the most "likes" on their Facebook page would win a £200 voucher. Here is the outfit I chose:

Amazing, after weeks of online campaigning, I managed to get the most "likes" and win the competition! I have been so very lucky recently, and I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that took the time to vote. I am over the moon, floating on cloud nine, watching flying pigs!

A few days later, the very lovely people at my-wardrobe sent out my prize. It was so beautifully packaged I just had to take a few snaps to show you.



It took a long time to decide what to buy with the voucher, but in the end I settled on something beautiful, sophisticated and that I know will never go out of style.





I am absolutely in love with my new Michael Kors Hamilton Tote bag. It's a true investment piece that's versatile enough to go with any outfit. Not only that, but it's even more beautful in the soft leather-y flesh! I'm afraid I've bagged (see what I did there?) the last one in black, but you can still get your hands on the same bag in brown from www.my-wardrobe.com.

Thanks again to everyone who liked my outfit, and also to the wonderful folks at my-wardrobe.com. I truly am one lucky lady.
