As I am sure my followers are aware, I am a prolific winner of things. Door prizes, tickets, radio competitions and 25 words or less skill testers, I seem to have a knack of being the lucky one.
Last weeks LMFF was no exception and also had no shortage of competitions to enter. I was shined on by the competition gods twice – the first being tickets to the Metamorphis Student Showcase presented by Sportsgirl on Wednesday night. After a small ticketing mix up, Sportsgirl also invited us along to the pre show VIP drinks and I received a package in the mail a few days later with apology gifts – eyeliner, bronzer, a blush brush and undereye illuminator. All was forgiven for the ticket mix up and wonderful night was had, meeting some wonderful people.
But the second competition, run by the LMFF team, was for a Mimco limited edition bag. Valued at $699, the Vampirella satchel was designed as celebration item in conjunction with LMFF. With leather, chains and dark suede, the bag is all about midnight dreams and twilight fantasies. Only 50 of this baby were made – and I won number 11. It arrived halfway through LMFF and I hesitated to use it – I’ve never had a bag that valuable!
Looks like I will have to head out in my new make up in an outfit inspired by the clever kids at the student showcase and take my bag out on the town. Any ideas where I might like to be seen out and about??

Ooh you lucky thing that bag looks awesome! I’ve learnt that with things like that you just have to pretend that they are the same as everything else or you’ll never use them. One hopes that with items of value comes a certain quality, so it should wear well as an everyday piece should you choose to make it that.
