Luxury fashion houses offer mini bag versions of their iconic bags to those women who prefer comfortable and smaller bags during leisure days. I for instance covet small bags that I can use as cross body ones on the weekends.  Comfort, you know…?  Now, although because of the size of these bags, we may find a few less expensive ones than their older sisters, it’s all about the brand! They may as well, in some cases cost even more due to intrinsic details.  The best part of it all however is that the days when one needed an extra stroller to help carry a bag, which sometimes and only sometimes could be extremely heavy and could take a toll on our backs, are put on hold at the moment. The fashion world is either more forgiving with our bodies or it’s fashion circulation time. The other best part about these chic smaller bags is that thanks to their size it’s easier to find really beautiful ones of good quality at great price. If you have extra bucks lying around here are very small options on how to spend it, I mean how to invest it.  Keep scrolling to get to know the new mini bags that fashionistas are using.

As small as an evening clutch could be, a fair amount of a woman’s taste could be appreciated by taking a look at the kind she is carrying.  I usually used to think of daily bags more than evening ones.  That could be because I don’t use to go out at nights much as of lately;  you know those things called… kids?  Good thing they are not confined only to evening anymore, wearing one during the day seems to be the chic norm now.  I’ve been having a crush on the Givenchy envelope clutch for a little while now but I kept waiting or hoping for its price to come down.  Until I finally found one online in London at LN-CC for almost half the price as in the US, not even mentioning the price in Brazil.  Brazil’s price craziness is without comparison!  Enjoy this Clutch Roundup.

Can you think of a more adaptable piece of clothing other than a graphic sweater now a days?  Of course there is always the pencil skirt and jeans but graphic sweaters are super easy to accommodate to your styling needs as well.  You can play it up with a nice skirt and heels and play it down as well.  One of the nicest and freshest outfit I saw lately was an assemblage of a graphic sweater, mid-calf skirt and a wedge sneakers, kicks.  I’m ready to buy a few.  Enjoy!

To many people, the thought of a canopy bed would give them the creeps. Not to blame them if the first image that easily slips into our minds is a frightening postcard from The Jacobean period style.  A heavily carved gilded bed with a heavy cornice, swags hanging from the canopy and so much fabric enclosing you is for sure a recipe for rhinitis.  Today’s canopy beds couldn’t be farther from that and you don’t need a four-poster bed to create one.  Anyone with a regular bed can build one with curtain rods and fabric securely hanging from the ceiling.  Check out YouTube for some cool tutorials or head over to Lonny Magazine where Michelle Adams documents how she made hers.

Whichever way you decide to make one, a canopy over the bed is one of the most romantic ways to decorate your bedroom.  The design of Modern Canopy Beds nowadays is a far cry from the times of its origins.  Back then, the design of the Four Poster beds was heavily carved dark wood and always enclosed with heave curtains. As life got easier and lighter with times so did the Canopy Bed hence their posters are slimmer with cleaner lines. They are easier to decorate with than many people think due to their unique dual design advantages. Surprisingly these particular beds can make a small room look taller and bigger while they also can complement beautifully bigger and higher ceiling bedrooms.

Four-poster beds also come in mirror for those looking for glam. Enjoy this round-up of modern canopy beds in case you are in the hunt for one and while you are it, take a look at the many canopy bed ideas.
