Here’s a celebrity couple that I truly adore:

Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen in Vancouver

Don’t they just look so cute together? It’s like, when you look at them, they are really meant for each other. These two met on the set of the movie “Jumper”, and from then on they have been inseparable. They are engaged by the way, in case you don’t know.

The two were recently spotted in Vancouver, Canada (Hayden’s home country) last February 20. The lovebirds were seen heading for a coffee-and-crepes shop, after which they went walking around the place.

On Rachel was a classic Chanel Flap Bag  and she wore  the piece as a crossbody. The beauty with this bag is that apart from the fact that it’s iconic, you can wear it in two ways – as a crossbody or as a shoulder bag.

Want the look but don’t want to spend too much for a Chanel Flap Bag? Try these really affordable dual-purpose quilted crossbody options instead:

Roxy Stud Muffin Crossbody

Purse + Crossbody

Roxy T.T.F.N. Handbag

Handbag + Crossbody

Element Luella Bag

Tote + Crossbody

Now if you’re more of a crossbody person and you can do away with having a dual-purpose bag, then you might like this quilted crossbody purse from Kate Spade as well:

We know Vanessa Hudgens loves cross body purses, and here she is reinforcing that fact for us just very recently:

This photo was taken just last February 15 when Vanessa joined long-time boyfriend Zac Efron in Sydney, Australia who was there to promote the Oakley into Summer campaign. Vanessa’s loose cotton eyelet top, cutoff denim shorts, big sunglasses, and toussled hair were all perfect for Australia’s summer season. Her tiny knit cross body hip purse was just the thing to keep her credit cards in while she and Zac shopped at an Oakley boutique:

While Australians are enjoying their summer months and we’re all still looking forward to any sign of warmer weather, we can relish the fact that we can use a pretty, colorful mini bag like Vanessa’s whenever we want to.

Stock up on spring/summer essentials now like these fabric mini cross body bags from Kavu:

Remember when we featured an article on Reese Witherspoon wearing a crossbody for coffee a week ago? Well, apparently this a-list Hollywood celeb is fast becoming a crossbody fan. She was again spotted wearing two different crossbody bags in two different occasions:

This slow but sure addiction into the “crossbody-hood” does not come to me as a surprise. Apart from the fact that it will be hot this spring, crossbody bags are so easy to use and it  stays out of your way. You can even go about your daily activities without noticing you’re wearing one.

To get Reese’s look in the first picture, you have two options.

If you have the cash to spend, get the Alexander Wang Brenda Mini Camera Bag with chain strap:

Now, if you are on a tight budget, you can still get the look by using the Flote Black Mavis:

To get Reese’s look in the second (2nd) and third (3rd) pictures, you can get the following:
