Bags I want right now

Normally I like to focus more on clothing than accessories, even though accessories can make an outfit. I think it goes back to my student days when I was on a very very limited budget and therefore mostly focused on just having enough clothes to wear. These past few months though, the accessory offerings out there seemed to be a lot cuter than the apparel, as not a whole lot was wowing me this season. Below are three bags that I love everything about.


Since I'm petite, I look ridiculous carrying oversize bags, which seem to be about all you can find nowadays. So anything with the word 'mini' in the name instantly piques my interest. Treesje has shrunk their Magnolia bag to a manageable size (for me), and presented it in this lovely teal color. I like how the ruffles are teeny tiny, keeping the bag from looking too little girly.

Even though this Great&Small bag is described as a coin purse, it's large enough to be used as a small clutch. The little owls are just cute cute cute. This bag also comes in an elephant and bumblebee versions, but I think the owls are the most whimsical without being cheesy. The colors make this purse subtle enough for day or night. It's also only $28, which is quite a bargain for the level of detail!




Who needs jewelry when you can carry this stunning evening bag by Whiting and Davis. I had previously posted on this company before, which specializes in metal mesh. I can picture myself holding this bag by my side and having it magically swish back and forth with every step.
