As far as fashion is concerned it’s as if we have stepped into a time machine for 2011. The parade of retro clothing, accessories and shoes that is coming down the runway seems like it’s never going to end. As it stands, I am really enjoying the retro gear that has so far made it back to the runways, so I hope they keep on coming.

One more accessory trend that is making a repeat visit is the tiny messenger bag. This little purse can always be found if you want one, but not since the days of disco dancing has this bag gotten as much attention as it is getting right now. Even though I tend to carry an oversized purse or tote no matter what, I really like this trend. I consider it one of my signature moves to carry a large purse. I know I am a hard core oversized purse and handbag devotee to the end, but I do accept that sometimes the occasion will arise where you just don’t need a big ole purse and you don’t want one.

No matter the destination, if you need to be hands free, the tiny messenger bag fits the bill beautifully. You will only need your absolute necessities packed into a convenient little purse for outings like these. This cute little bag is conveniently sized to carry the bare bones; keys, phone, lipstick and a credit card. While the name evokes a casual bag, this little bag can easily be dressed up. Finding one to work into your wardrobe or fit the occasion will be a simple task because this hot litttle bag is available in a wide range of textiles, styles and colors. The tiny messenger simply gets its name because it has a strap that allows you to wear it across your body like its big sisters the saddle bag and the satchel.
