You may remember my recent post about my investment piece wishlist; well, Westfield London’s new competition couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time. They’re challenging bloggers to build their dream, money-no-object outfit around a statement bag and the winner will receive a handbag worth up to £700 from one of the designers in The Village!

I don’t usually enter “win X by posting about Y” competitions but the chance to own a gorgeous bag just by playing on Pinterest is too good to ignore! While I did pin lots of images for inspiration I knew I’d revolve my look around Mulberry’s Alexa – who doesn’t want one?! So this is my outfit, consisting of what I consider to be A/W essentials: a bright and versatile dress, pretty patterned hosiery, a classic wool coat, practical but cute shoes, goes-with-everything jewellery, and make up in moody autumnal hues. What do you think?

 What I’d wear: Mulberry Alexa in oak | Whistles Camille dress | The Kooples camel crepe coat | Salvatore Ferragamo Vara shoes | Wolford Dana stay-up stockings | Tiffany & Co. bow pendant | Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick in Rivoli and nail polish in Vertigo (available at House of Fraser)
