If your purse is ugly, you might be in luck

If your handbag situation needs serious help, this contest is for you. 1154 LILL Studio, the original design-it-yourself handbag company, is looking for the ugliest purse in America. If this hideous abomination belongs to you, you'll win an entire bag wardrobe you can customize yourself. Mmm hmm, a whole pile of fabulous new bags.

I'm honored to be one of the contest judges, who include Meg Hemphill, writer and former fashion and beauty editor at InStyle magazine. We'll choose the winner from among the finalists selected by the public. So even if your own purse isn't ugly, you might still enjoy voting for your favorite bag entry (and then secretly feeling relieved it's not yours).

The contest runs until August 21. To see details and enter, click here!
