Make Way for the Mini Bag
Tired of your oversized carryall? One of the "it" handbags of the season is the mini bag. These mini bags resemble the popular crossbody bag we've seen over the last year. They have the long strap, but are just smaller in size. Mini bags are in style this season as a great daytime bag, suitable for the days when you don't have to carry much. I particularly love the crossbody bag for days when I'm running errands or shopping or when I'm traveling because they free up my hands and give my shoulders a break. I'd use a mini bag for those same purposes. Sometimes, a girl just needs her credit card, her car keys and her lipgloss (in case she runs into anyone she knows!). Why should she have to strain her shoulders with a big, heavy bag? My favorite mini bags (which you can see to the left) have that structured, boxy shape and sport a neutral hue, but see all 11 of my picks below.
