#RockUpInRed Radley London Winner!

Well, when I put the call out for red photos to support the British Heart Foundation's Rock Up In Red day on 1st February, I was blown away by the response. The red pictures streamed in on Twitter, Facebook and via my email account. Thank you to everyone who entered…here's just a selection as my laptop is not letting me collage them all!

But you just want to know who won the bag…the limited edition Radley London cross body bag..
Well I was told to chose my favourite but how could I chose between your gorgeous children, pets, inspirational outfits and hilarious onesies (you know who you are Claire-Justine!). But then this entry came in and I just knew it was the one…for lots of reasons. It's a first time mum and we all know how fabulous cross body bags are when you've just had a baby. All your totes and shoulder bags go out the window. And I was blown away that after only 4 days, this first time mum took the time out of her busy tiring schedule to email me a photo of her new baby in his red & white hat and his red car seat & support a great cause. 
Congratulations Jacqueline Heasley from Edinburgh, 
your little boy Dexter has won you a handbag!
I cannot express my gratitude enough to everyone involved in this give-away. The British Heart Foundation for coming up with such a great idea, Radley London for donating the beautiful limited edition handbags and to all of my blog followers and other bloggers who got involved and made it such a success. Now get ordering your fundraising pack girls!
I wish I had a bag for everyone - the only consolation is that I will be doing something very special on February 1st for #RockUpInRed day and I will have another bag to give away that day!
