One of my all time favourite designers is Jenny Packham who makes the most gorgeous, feminine dresses that I can only dream of wearing. Every season I think I can't be any more amazed but I am proven wrong every time. Packham is also a royal favourite of the Duchess of Cambridge and has made many dresses for Kate Middleton, customising the sleeves and neckline for 'Royal Etiquette' of course!

You can imagine how thrilled I was when I realised I had a legit excuse to mix business with pleasure at the launch of her third collaboration with Lancôme, unveiling another set of gorgeous bags.

Inspired by the latest SS14 collection the make up bags come in two gorgeous checkered prints and are available as a gift of purchase when you buy two Lancôme products (1 skincare) in Harvey Nichols from 14 May. Each bag comes with a selection of Lancôme travel size minis. Personally? I'll be doubling it up as a chic clutch for the evening.

Whilst in the gorgeous boutique on Mount Street I couldn't help but notice the rails of stunning gowns that lined the room. Organised by colour there really was a dress to suit everyone. I will keep dreaming…
