Naomi Watts Likes to Wear a Crossbody

It looks like we’re going to be adding Naomi Watts to our list of celebrity crossbody junkies. She was spotted toting two different crossbody purses on two different occasions this month.

In New York last week, she toted an ethnic inspired number which I initially thought was a Simone Camille creation but found that it wasn’t after checking the designer’s website.

I will do further research on this one because the bag really intrigues me.

In the meantime, if you want the look of this ethnic inspired purse, here are a couple of very affordable options from Donna Sharp.

Donna Sharp Hipster Marilyn, US$34

Donna Sharp Hipster Lincoln Star, US$34

If you’re not price conscious, you may also try the following:

Cleobella Indya Hobo, US$286

JadeTribe Nina Messenger, US$182

Now the second time Naomi was spotted with a crossbody was just last Tuesday, April 20, while she was heading to the set of her new movie with Daniel Craig. This time though, she chose a more classic piece – a plain black top zip crossbody.

Alessandra Ambrosio: Picture Perfect in Louis Vuitton

This is another Coachella related post. But believe me, it will be far from boring. Looking at Alessandra Ambrosio alone will be entertaining enough for you. She is quite the eye candy after all.

Here are my favorite Coachella snapshots of this Victoria Secret supermodel:

Alessandra Ambrosio

Doesn’t she simply look so fine? Definitely picture perfect and worthy of a write-up. In fact, I think these pictures are even good enough to be included in editorial spreads!

I love how she put together the outfit; very original and drop-dead sexy. Of course, the fact that she has mile-long legs, a killer body, and a pretty face also plays a big part.

Now what’s even more notable is the way she capped off her look with a casual but luxurious Louis Vuitton Monogram Denim Sunburst GM. That bag costs a whopping US$3,270, by the way.

If you are itching to copy Alessandra Ambrosio’s Coachella style, simply put on the following:

Joie Zelda Tunic Top, US$56 (sale!); Greg Norman Straw Hat, US$51; Lucky Brand Nepali 3 Dangle Hoop Earrings, US$15 (sale!); Roxy Country Bumpkin Denim Shorts, US$40; Gabriella Rocha Martie Suede Flat Boots, US$87 (sale!); Fossil Kaylor Sunglasses, US$35; Moschino String Bikini with Moschino Buckle, US$174; Lucky Brand Velvet Underground Multi Chain Necklace, US$59; Lucky Brand Start Me Up Long Pendant Necklace, US$28 (sale!); Chan Luu Shell Necklace, US$74 (sale!)

To cap off the look, no need to spend US$3000++ on a piece of Louis Vuitton, simply use any of these crossbody purses:

Lucky Brand Drifter Tie Dye Fabric Crossbody, US$79
