It's In The (MINI) Bag!

We're always keeping our eyes peeled for the next fashion trend & this fall we see a plethora of mini bags showing up in stores & on our favorite celebrities.  Perfect for a day of shopping or a night of dancing, these bags will keep your hands free to grab all those must-haves for fall or to hold a cocktail or two.  Wear them across your body for the ultimate in comfort & style.  So, in the name of fashion, we decided to share some of our favorites (from the "affordable"...to the "not so much").  Drum roll please...

What do you think?  Will you be leaving your gigantic handbags behind this fall to lighten your load with one of these adorable mini bags?  How much is TOO much to spend on a handbag?  Would you ever think of splurging on a mini bag, or is there just not enough bang for your buck??  We'd love to hear your thoughts!

    I have my one handbag that I use everyday and love it to pieces (almost literally). I should shake it up with some more bags, including mini ones.

    BTW, I've just posted about my Shellac manicure I had done. I knew you girls would be interested.

    I did tell you

    I love the rich navy color of that BCBG bag! They've always been a favorite brand of mine for beautifully done color. The Fossil bag is surprisingly cute too! They've definitely been surprising me with more trend-based items!
