Happy 4th of July everyone!

From us here at Cross Body Purses, here’s a patriotic collection of 7 red, white and blue cross body bags to help get in the spirit of independence:

DadGear Americana Satchel, $115.70. Can you believe this is a diaper bag for dads?!?

Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Medium 122, $89.95. A classic bag from a trusted brand.

Littlearth MVP Jersey Tote Bag/Columbus Blue Jackets, $28.00 (was $35.00). There are plenty more of these with other teams on it.

Littlearth NHL Capitols Petite Purse, $30.40 (was $38.00). Show your team spirit with this bag!

Roxy Limited Edition Arena Rock Crossbody, $55.80 (was $62.00). My personal favorite out of the bunch – the white is nice but the black might be easier to wear.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Spot, $158.00. Why isn’t Marc Jacobs making more stuff with this adorable print?

Vera Bradley Rosie Posie Hipster, $44.00. Check out this bag’s other colors – Vera Bradley prints are amazing!

There was a spike in celebrities carrying carrying cross body bags yesterday (at least three were seen) and the weird thing was they were all spotted in countries that are not their own.

If you can’t take a trip abroad this summer, indulge me for a minute and hop on with me and these celebs to take a short trip ’round the world via this post. Find out who was spotted where, starting with Katrina Bowden:

Sienna Miller and Emma Watson, arguably two of the world’s most popular British actresses right now, attended the Glastonbury Music Festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset, England last Saturday June 26.

Both of them donned comfortable cut off denim shorts but that’s where the similarities ended. Sienna and Emma’s Glastonbury styles couldn’t have been more different than night and day.

Here’s what Emma Watson wore – a white sleeveless button down shirt, high-waisted denim shorts held by a leopard-printed belt, a Louis Vuitton bag and plain tennis shoes:

And here’s what Sienna Miller wore – just a loose grey tank top, denim shorts and combat boots, but piled on with accessories like a panama hat, a crochet vest, a red patterned sling bag and various pieces of jewelry:

Emma Watson was cool and casual in her very basic, very simple getup. Sienna Miller on the other hand displayed her honed boho chic sense of style by incorporating interesting pieces into her outfit.
