You can't leave home without at least one, and if you like bringing a spare pair of shoes when you leave the house, that means you need two. Yes, it's the bag dilemma.
This last few seasons have seen the trend of the mini bag aka the bag that fits nothing. You know when you are going to a wedding (and the sales assistant managed to convince you to get the matching bag for the shoes, that's one of those snap shut bags) and you can't close the thing for keys, make up, phone, plasters....those are the worst kind of bags. This is how I lose things.
One step up from the mini bag is the midi bag (clever amn't I?) and that's what we are aiming to get this season. They fit a bit more, and the great thing is, I've found you a good few that are under €15!
€11, Boohoo.comThis one is very sensible. Why did I pick a fairly boring one? Well it is a dead ringer for the Longchamp hold alls that start at €55 for just a tiny one. This one is big enough for all your bits and pieces for work, like your laptop, shoes and your oversize make up bag. Plus, it's waterproof. Hurrah.
€14.99, New Look (In Store September)Tan bags are going to be a key accessory for winter, as that whole 70s vibe is here again. This is a cross body with an adjustable strap, plus we love the stud details. The clip at the front keeps your things nice and secure. Ideal for a shopping trip!

So this one may not hit the shop floor for a while, but staying with the tan trend for a moment, this saddle style bag is a little gem for the price. The black fringe gives it a festival feel and the canvas printed strap makes it more casual. This one will even fit an ipad.
€14.99, New LookThe pop art thing was all the rage last season thanks to Prada, and you can get the Prada vibes this season from New Look. There have been many of these on the high street but this one caught my eye with it's sequin writing which is a lot of detail for a great price. Wear this with a plain outfit to give it POW.
€16, River IslandStaying with the fun factor, and for anyone who has a cat obsession, this kitsch little clutch from River Island is a nice night out purse. Bear in mind, it's good for your keys, money and a lipstick. Only.
€12.99, New LookAnd this one is my favourite. Metallics, fringing, clutch equal my recipe for a good evening bag. The zip pouch is big enough for all your bits, and it has a zip to keep your best eye pencil from falling out.

Have you a bag bargain we need to know about? Where did you get it and how much of a steal was it?
