Last week we asked you to help our favorite street style blogger Emma Arnold of Très Awesome win the Michael Kors Bag Alert Facebook Page competition. Guess what? She did win!

From Michael Kors via Facebook:

I was so inspired to end the year with such an amazing array of photos of chic real women on the street carrying my bags. (Who said cold weather gets in the way of fabulous style?) And congratulations to Chicago-based fashionista and photographer Emma Batia Arnold of the blog Très Awesome for snapping the most popular photo of all! These are her photos here. As promised, we’ll be making a non-profit donation on Emma’s behalf to the charity of her choice. Thanks again, Emma, and to all of you for following Bag Alert each week and voting on your favorite shots. I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off 2012.

So thank you to those who voted and congratulations to Emma! And this is the winning photo.
