Here’s a crossbody that I really, really, really, seriously want to have – the 3.1 Phillip Lim Adin Purse. I actually want it more than the Edie Studded Bow Purse (featured last week). And I mean, waaay more.

Now just recently, Rachel Bilson was spotted wearing this purse while walking in LA (see photos below). Love her outfit, cute Elizabeth and James spring trench, and definitely cute bag! Seeing it on Rachel makes me want this bag even more.

Here’s a clearer view of the Adin Purse. It’s a simple black and tan combination, but how the combination is done is beautiful to the bone, especially with the silver studs and hardware that go with it.

I’m not going to keep on describing each and every element I think is wonderful about this purse. I am simply going to let the pictures below tell you how gorgeous this tiny purse is.

If you want the 3.1 Phillip Lim Adin Purse, it’s available at Lagarconne.com and it retails for US$425. Not bad actually; I mean, it is not cheap, but it is attainable.

Now if getting the look for less is all you want, try these other crossbody purses with the same black and tan combination:

You may also try this very affordable Bagallini creation which features the same zipper and compartment elements as the 3.1 Phillip Lim Adin Purse:

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:

Red is the color of love. But it is also the color of power. There’s nothing like a red bag to show people you’re sexy, confident, daring, and definitely in control. Besides, it’s a great piece of accessory that you can use as a highlight. There are days when all you need to brighten up your look is a red bag. And this basically explains why every girl should have at least one red bag in her closet.
