Kate Bosworth was a bare-faced beauty at the Mulberry LA Pool Party held last July 20. She even wore a casual get up to go with the no-make up look.

But although she was looking rather ordinary, she still stole the spotlight with her stunning leopard printed crossbody, probably from the brand’s recent collection.

I like how she dressed up and brightened up her look. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen her do such a thing. We’ve seen her wear a bright colored crossbody to dress up a plain outfit before.

I guess you could say it’s a little sneaky too. I mean, be all dressed up in T shirt and jeans and somehow get away with not looking so good because the bag looks soooo darn fabulous. I wouldn’t mind taking such a cue from her though, sneaky or not. Which is why I went about searching for these:

How cute is it that these two met at their Burberry modelling gig?

Emma Watson and George Craig stepped out on Wednesday night to see the production “War Horse” at the New London Theatre.

Emma Watson wore a very 80s leopard print top with shoulder pads and lugged a large tote bag with her. I wonder what she had to carry around with her just to see a play? Pics:

Emma Watson’s large cross body bag is the Miu Miu Bow Detail Tote:

It gets its name from the leather bow details attached to the sides of the bag. It’s not available online anymore but pictures of this bag are up at Net-A-Porter.com. They might restock it so put away $1,155.00 and check back to see if they have the bag on hand once more.

If you’re loving the girly touch the bows add to this classic leather bag, then you’ll like these two bow detail cross body bags. You’ll also love that these are just a fraction of the price of the Miu Miu, $122.05 for the first bag and just $46.00 for the Ashley M one. Love how the bows make the leather bags look less serious!

Here’s one celebrity I find really, really, really beautiful – Kate Bosworth. Her face is not an extraordinary one, but the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes. There’s just something so serene and fresh about the way she looks.

Apart from her celebrity status, her fine taste in fashion and talent for mixing pieces that turn into stylish outfits (case in point, the picture below) have earned her a fan base of fashionistas.

Even in a simple and casual 3-piece ensemble, she looks stylish and classy. But that bright orange crossbody she’s using, is what’s creating the statement, subtly elevating her look to a higher level.

So let’s take a hint from Kate – a colorful mini-crossbody bag is always a great accessory to brighten up an outfit. Plus, it functions as a container for your lipstick, compact, personal technology, bills and a few cards.

If you’re up for the look, wear a 3-piece casual ensemble like Kate’s and purchase the Ashley M Rhinestone Peace Sign Cross Shoulder Bag OR the Baekgaard City Hipster.

Baekgaard City Hipster, US$46

Both styles come in other bright and basic colors, and both are under US$50 so you’re at liberty to buy several.
