I have written at great length about my love of handbags. Last year I bought my pride and joy, a Belle Bijoux handbag that I take everywhere. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting Belle, the designer herself and was charmed by her. She’s an amazing woman, a fellow Perth girl and she makes top of the range handbags. I particularly love the ‘signature’ lacing on her bags which mean mine is admired wherever I go.
Belle Bijoux has very kindly given me one of the new bags from her newly launched winter collection called 'Woman of Heart and Mind,' to give away to one of you. While all I want to do is keep it here with my beloved Giselle bag, I am overcoming my covetous notions and being brave.
The bag I have for one of you is called the Miss Fernanda and comes in burnt sienna. She is valued at over $300.00.
I spent some very happy time down in Belle’s office today sighing over her beautiful bags.

To me, Belle epitomizes what it means to be fearless and fun, and it seems not only do I think that, so do the team at Cosmopolitan. They have nominated her as one of their Fun & Fearless Women of 2011. Show your support by heading over here and giving Belle YOUR vote so she can be a winner.
Then head back here and leave a comment confirming you’ve voted, and telling me about one of your fun and fearless moments. One lucky winner will be the owner of this beautiful handbag. Belle will pick a winner and I'll announce them on Saturday.

The dull but necessary bits:
Competition closes: Friday 6th May at Midday Perth time.
Open worldwide!
