I'm not one of the those girls who has a different bag for different outfits. I tend to spend more on bags I love that will stand the test of time while still looking fashionable...

I usually don't spend less than a couple of hundred dollars on a piece I know will last me years, but when I spotted this number my preconceived thoughts of expensive personal bag-buying changed instantly.

How adorable is this cream frilled tote with round handles! This would be perfect for a night out with the girls, for a wedding or even for the office as the neutral colour works so well with almost everything! It also comes in a chic shade of mushroom, and will give you change from $100!

I spotted this bag in my favourite shoe store Novo. It goes to prove once again that you never know where or when a hot, stylish bargain will crop up.

It's just lucky that you have nzgirl on hand to tell you exactly where to head to find our picks of the week's best buys. Happy shopping!

Frill tote bag $79.90 from Novo
