Cheap & Cute: 5 superfab fall bags under $40

Check these out, too...

  • Trends we heart: Americana
  • 6 handbags every girl should own
  • Exactly what to wear to your summer job interview
You l-o-v-e-d the bags featured in our Oct/Nov ‘12 issue, so here are some more equally awesome clutches, totes and purses to keep your fall bag collection totally on trend.

 

Crochet my heart

With its crochet body and dangling tassels, this crossbody purse is unlike any you’ve seen before.  Try it with sandals now, combat boots later! Plus it’ll get you pumped up for those knit-tastic cozy winter sweaters.
 

E/W Crochet Crossbody, $30, forever21.com

 

Double trouble

Two bags are always better than one. Slip off the studded pouch when you’re headed out for the night, or keep it attached as a too-cool-for-school keychain during the day.
 

Glorious Perfection Bag, $40, urbanog.com

 

Super sharp

This preppy plaid tote is a no-brainer: handy handles and a long crossbody strap mean you get the best of both worlds! Plus, the crisp tartan is perfect for chilly weather.
 
 
 

Dakine Camilla in Tartan, $22, 6pm.com

 

Mod squad

After the Olympics is there anyone who doesn’t love our friends across the ocean?!  This clutch is perfect for those moments when you just don’t want to lug around a huge bag and it’s sooo cute, to boot. (Unfortunately, no British accent included!)
 

Urban Expressions Mod Clutch, $40, dsw.com

 

Wild West

This tote is big enough for everything you’ve got. Plus, the Western pattern is super chic for fall ’12. Pair it with boots and an oversized cardigan and you’ve got a flawless chilly look.
 

Southwest E/W Tote, $33, forever21.com

I just got my first new bag, the problem is I don't know what to put in it. I put in the things that I think I need, but it is really heavy. Help! What do I really need to put in it?

 

Congrats chickiee! We've all been there where we get a little overly-excited about a new bag...so excited, that we throw absolutely everything we can in there to fill it up. For now, I'd stick to the essentials: your phone, wallet, and some make-up for touch-ups. You don't wanna wear out your new bag with all that excess weight of products you won't actually need throughout the day.

I eat healthy, excercise, count my blessing every night, IDK what else I should do, or what I am doing wrong. I guess time heals all?

Hey girl,

You should talk to an adult about how you are feeling! Thinking is great, but you will feel a lot better if you can unload on someone who can offer support and a response in person. Talk to an older family member, teacher or counselor about your feelings -- it will help you so, so much, I promise!
