Ciao bellas! 😉
I’m finally putting all the creative vibes I got from our most recent Full Moon🌕✨ to good use by bringing you a fresh new blog post about one of my current fall wardrobe staples that’s certain to stick around for the next several seasons to come. Keep scrolling to get the scoop on a fall fashion must-have for any style or occasion: the mini bag. 👇🏾
You’ve probably been peeping these trending handbags on your social media feeds or even out in the wild 👀(in the hands of a fellow fashionista), but I’m here to give you all the reasons why investing in one of these lil cuties is essential for completing any chic fall ensemble with an effortless touch. I found this pretty and petite purse at NastyGal, and the brand is quickly becoming my new go-to for all the best bags at affordable prices.

I know some of y’all prefer larger than life tote bags or sizeable crossbody styles to ensure all of your essentials are within arm’s reach, but hear me out. Mini bags are bomb not only because they’re absolutely cute AF, they also help you keep your carry-on items minimal and hassle-free when you’re out and about. If you’re considering a downsize, I’ve got a few quick tips for packing a mini bag with all the most important things.
PETITE PURSE PRO TIPS
1. Give up the goodies. 🍬Nah sis, we not talking your Ciara goodies. This simply refers to leaving all the extra snacks, gum and candy out of your mini bag to keep you from overstuffing. If you’re like me, keeping a lil treat close by is always a must, but a mini bag will challenge you to be a bit more minimal in what you carry.
2. Think small. 💡 When heading out to the club or while on your way to a dinner date, make sure that you’re packing away things that are no larger than a credit card. This helps you manage your essentials with objectivity and keeps you from weighing your bag down too much.
3. Always choose the crossbody. 👍🏾 While some mini bags require that you hold them by their handles, not all purses are created equal. Try to purchase a mini bag with a removable crossbody strap or chain to give you more versatility and to keep you hands-free while you slay.
Name a cuter handbag style. I’ll wait.
