Their Spring collection features more colorful & fun designs for a playful & enthusiastic look this season!

And luckily for me, GUESS let the other bloggers (Qiuting, Beatrice & Rachell - I didn't get a group picture :X) & I each pick one bag to keep! YAY! *throws confetti*

Now the reason why you should read on is because...

YOU CAN WIN A GUESS BAG TOO! :D

AND A PHOTOSHOOT WITH ME, TO APPEAR IN A MAGAZINE! :D

*** *** ***

We'll both be styled in GUESS clothes & accessories for this feature so it's gonna be very exciting!

So now as you look through my pictures below you can mentally window-shop & pick out WHICH GUESS BAG YOU WOULD LIKE TO WIN ^_^ But of course I can only snap so many photos, so to see the full collection you can drop by any GUESS store to check out the bags!

But nonetheless, here's a little preview!

This is the Floren collection, which features sweet flower cutouts with little metal details & rhinestones:

The Huma series, which comes in many different colours as you'll see later!

Sweet & cute details from the Elara & Leandra lines!

I think this Rumi bag was one of Qiuting's favorites!

Shelves of Skya, Ivian & Madaket bags! All come in more various shapes & colours.

More formal hues if you're not into bright colors! 

Haha I think both Beatrice & I tended to gravitate towards "safe" shades of brown, beige & black :X

Slouchy bags that are ridiculously roomy!

Playing around with some of the bags on display! 

Can you start to guess which were my favourites that day?

And an irrelevant picture of me hahaha.

That day we each individually picked out FIVE GUESS BAGS to show you guys!

And ONE of the five bags is the one I get to keep!

To win a GUESS bag of your choice, firstly you have to guess (haha) which one I kept!

So it's going to be a test of how well you guys know my style :X

Here are the five bags I picked! I already see a rather consistent colour scheme here hahaha.

Looks like I go for nude, tans, light, warm colours... 

So now the question is, which one did I decide to keep?

I'm going to showcase each of the five bags & I really had a hard time deciding which to keep O.O 

It was a tough fight between two! If your taste is like mine maybe you'll pick the other one I wanted!

Bag (I) -Tremont Satchel

This bag is super easy to match & IS SO ROOMY O.O

You can put so much stuff inside it! I think this bag would be perfect for students or work!

I also love the soft, slouchy shape!

Worn with a casual outfit! This is something I would easily wear to university, swapping the denim shorts for a skirt if it's a more formal occasion. Easily goes with most outfits!

Bag (II) - Leandra Small Carryall

Here's a more playful design featuring a pop patent yellow with a structured pastel pink body!

Comes with both long & short straps to be carried multiple ways!

Here it is when it's carried as a sling!

It's a very cute & fun bag with a good size to store all your essential items!

Bag (III) - Huma (VG) Mini Crossbody Flap

A very, very cute mini handbag! I remember seeing that this came in many other colours like pink & black as well, but I love the eye-catching yellow of this piece!

This bag certainly isn't for lugging around all your thingmajigs, but it's adorable for a cute outfit & casual day out! And the strap is adjustable to whatever desired length :)

Bag (IV) - Tisbury Box Satchel

I love the colours of this one! This bag has a very structure shape; sort of like the popular doctor bag.

I think the salmon colour goes really well with the rest to make it colourful without being over-the-top!

This is a good size for girls that want handbags they can still put a lot of stuff in!

It's small enough without compromising on capacity.

Bag (V) - Floren Small Satchel

I love the unique shape of this bag! Haha don't assume I picked this bag because it's with me at lunch (check out my risotto). I had lunch after taking pictures & thought it suitable for a lunch/brunch look :)

The satchel can be carried slung or hand-carried as well!

Do you think you've got my pick of the GUESS bag figured out? *smirk*

I think all of them are pretty easy to match & all outfits are something I might wear!

If you'd like to make a guess (haha again :x), here's how to join the contest!

Step #1

Create a collage/storyboard featuring the bag you think I picked, showing how you would match it!

It can be something like an outfit collage or a collage showing what occasion the bag would suit...

It's up to you!

Here's two examples I made using Polyvore, but you can use Paint/Photoshop/phone apps/etc!

*** *** ***

Haha what do you guys think of my collages? It's up to you how you decide to mix & match it!

Here are the 5 bags for you to use for your collages! Unfortunately I don't have the soft-copy photos of all the exact same bags featured in my post but it's ok! Let me see how you ~ work it ~ hahaha

Each bag is an individual, separate picture so it can be saved on its own :) Just right-click or drag!

Step #2

Upload your collage to Instagram, with the hashtags #GUESStote & #sophiewillocq!

E.g. I think #sophiewillocq picked Bag (IV) in the #GUESStote contest & this is how I would style it!

Remember to make sure your Instagram account is NOT locked!
And yes you can submit multiple entries hahaha.

*** *** ***

It's that simple! Each blogger will do a photoshoot with one winner each! :D

So we'll all appear in a fashion magazine together styled in GUESS clothes & accessories!

And we'll each get one GUESS bag!

Can't wait to meet you guys!

And don't forget about the ongoing promotion (until 24th March)!
