Ladies, why are we still breaking our backs (and bank accounts) with huge + heavy bags? Of course, we love a good purse, but it just might be time to downsize. The new trend hitting our shoulders is the mini bag. Istead of feeling like Mary Poppins 24/7, opt for the smaller version of your favorite carryall that will help you break down your load to just the essentials. Plus, everything is cuter fun-sized! Get back to basics with this new accessory and find your favorite mini bag for fall right here.
