When I was in New York this past September I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon at Zac Posen’s atelier.  Gowns were being hand sewn with the outmost attention to detail, Bergdorff Goodman was holding court at a massive table talking spring, bags were hung as far as the eye could see, Olivia Palermo was trying on looks in preparation for an event, and between the rows and rows of organza and silk there I was taking it all in.  It was nothing short of magical.  And while I didn’t walk out of their with a gown of my own that day I did walk out of their swooning over the line of new ZAC Zac Posen bags that were about to hit the stores.   

You know I love all of Zac’s bags (last seen HERE and HERE), but the Eartha Envelope has quickly become one of my absolute favorites (last seen HERE).  It comes in just about every color of the rainbow and best of all it’s an investment piece that isn’t the most insane of investments.  And to show you just how much we love it (and you of course) we’ve teamed up with our friends at ZAC Zac Posen to gift one lucky reader with an Eartha Envelope of their very own!  You’ll find all the details below and entering is as easy as every, really the only hard part will be deciding which color to choose if you win!  Good luck Loves!  Truly, MKR
