Little Ones, Oh Little Ones

We all know that for the past few years the BIG PURSE has been the it thing. Girls went from their Louis Vuitton speedy to trade them in for their larger Botkiers, MJ totes and the like. However, sometimes it would be a little refreshing, and less painful on the arm to go back to a little purse. Although large clutches for the daytime are coming back, they are impractical when wanting to walk around a store and pick multiple things up.
So instead, we are going to look at some purses that are small to regular size for happy shoulders and shopping!

First let's look at some smaller purses:

Above is Kate Spade's new canaan large bea. Available at katespade.com for $195. It comes in red, black and brown. What I love about this bag is the grained leather and, of course, the size. Inside is lined with a cute polka dot trim. This bag brings you back from trendy to classy. And as you walk around with it in your arm, you can't help but feel like a dainty lady.

Next, we will look at the medium size bag. There are plenty of options out there for this one now. Macy*s carries middle priced ones, Urban Outfitters the same as well. Shopbop.com carries the expensive ones, and Forever 21 carries the least expensive. So, today we'll look at a drool-worthy bag. Vanessa Bruno's small shoulder bag / clutch . Now, I think it's more of a medium size bag, but hey, it still fits the topic.



On shopbop.com for $462. Now, I know this might break the bank, but at least it's beautiful to look at. Almost everyone has a bag that just has smaller straps to throw onto your shoulder. I like the fact that this one has a long strap, to give a different look. The straps are removable though, to keep with the trend of the oversized clutch!
The leather on it is amazing as well. It comes in a brown and a black. Looking at the bag, the body of it has two sides with zippers on it, and when looking from it above, it looks like lips. I LOVE Vanessa Bruno's work.

Until next time...
