Trend Alert: Get your mini on!

It's time to pull out those mini bags, from Designer brands to high street to Vintage, its all about those small shoulder bags.

So make sure your wallet isn't as big as your bag, which can be a good thing, your not tempted to shop if you only keep a little cash in your bag.
