I’m not usually one for petite purses that are barely visible from a distance, but I confess myself smitten with the Deux Lux Mini Messenger Bag. This is exactly like something I would have coveted and begged my mother for at age 8 or so, but it appears my inner child is still alive and well. The gleaming, translucent crystals on this gold purse lend it a girly, youthful charm, just the kind of look I love to incorporate into my most dressy ensembles. And while this probably doesn’t hold a candle to a gazillion-dollar clutch for most people, I find that it’s just right for expressing myself and staying true to who I am. Plus, um, it’s cheap. Available for $85 at Nordstrom.
