London, England - Aruna Seth Photo Shoot for Hello! Magazine

It was a very exciting day in January when an entire team of makeup artists, stylists, photographers and hairdressers from Hello! Magazine descended upon our flat in London's Chelsea neighborhood to do a photo shoot of my flatmate and dear friend, the now famous British shoe designer, Aruna Seth. Needless to say, we were tidying for days!

Here is a look at the spread they published in Hello! Magazine, which finally came out just a few weeks ago:

And here are some 'behind the scenes' shots I took the day of:

Its terribly exciting living with a "celebrity!" ;-)

Here is a picture of the exact bag you will win:

If you are not familiar with Aruna Seth, her name has become synonymous with exquisitely designed, show-stopping shoes. Acclaimed around the world by fashion press for her exceptional designs and attention to detail. Aruna is now living out her life-long dream of creating uniquely glamorous shoes that are designed to elongate the legs while still being extremely comfortable. All of her shoes are handmade in Italy, many of which feature genuine Swarovski crystals.

Aruna Seth’s shoes were also in the running to be worn by Kate Middleton on her wedding day. Though we all know that Kate wore head-to-toe McQueen, her sister, Pippa Middleton, did wear the Aruna Seth ‘Lynn’ style shoes with that stunning Temperley emerald gown to the evening wedding reception:
