Trend Alert: Orange Cross Body Bags for Fall

Rose — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 11:28:48 +0000

Just a few days ago, Proenza Schouler tweeted this photo of a PS11 bag from W Magazine.

It shows a PS11 Proenza Schouler in a lovely shade of orange, which confirms our belief that orange is fast becoming a favorite color this fall. So if you’re looking for that fall-perfect cross body bag to carry come the autumn season, go for the style that sports a chic, bright and lively hue of orange. It’s not only fall-trendy, but it’s also attention-grabbing. Plus, it would make a great statement piece in your look!

Olivia Wilde’s Boho + Fringe Love

Kelly — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 23:48:07 +0000

This week, Olivia Wilde was photographed while she was out and about in L.A. Her pictures tell us one thing: She does love fringe cross-bodies. We saw her in July with a brown fringe cross-body, and on two separate occasions this week, she was again seen with fringe cross-bodies. At first glance, the cross-bodies seem to be one and the same. Upon closer inspection (because you all know we closely inspect cross-bodies around here), the cross-bodies turn out to have slightly different designs. But they’re both boho with some fringe, and they’re both cross-bodies. And we love them both!

August 1

August 3

Olivia’s love of boho and fringe has got us craving boho and fringe ourselves, so we asked Zappos to help us out. Zappos didn’t disappoint us, and we found some boho and/or fringe cross-bodies to satisfy our craving.

Maybe you’ll be craving these lovelies, too:

FOLEY & CORINNA TASSEL FRINGE CROSS BODY, $395.00

LUCKY BRAND OJAI CROCHET CROSS BODY, $103.20

LUCKY BRAND ON THE FRINGE MACRAME CROSS BODY, $39.20

MOTIF 56 SU-MEDUZA, $176.80

We won’t be surprised if next week, or maybe even this weekend, we see Olivia again with yet another fringe cross-body. We won’t be surprised if we hear that some of you shopped at Zappos for these cross-bodies either. (In fact, we’re hoping you’ll do just that!)

Hayden Panettiere’s White Cross Body Bag with Blue and Red Embroidery at LAX

Erika — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 07:02:08 +0000

Paparazzi caught up with Hayden Panettiere and her boxer boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko at LAX last September 23rd. The two were on their way to catch a flight out to Munich, Germany where they both attended the United People Charity Night and celebrated Oktoberfest.

That’s some activity-filled trip! Here’s a picture of the twosome at the Los Angeles Airport from last Thursday:

Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko at LAX on September 23, 2010

Some celebrity website says that Hayden Panettiere is barely 5’1″. She looks even tinier than that next to the 6’6″ Wladimir Klitschko. I read a lot of comments about how odd-looking a couple these two make, but I think they’re positively cute. I never thought of Hayden P., who often plays blonde cheerleader roles, as someone who’d have a taste for tall, big and much older men (Wladimir is 34, Hayden is 21).

Anyway, let’s just wish these two a happy relationship and leave it at that. Now let’s take a closer look at Hayden Panettiere’s cross body bag:

No name on this bag yet but it does remind me of the Lucky Brand Patch Abbey Road Bag we featured here sometime in January. If you click the link that’ll take you to that previous post, you’ll see that the Lucky Brand is also white with some blue and red patches.

I searched through the latest Lucky Brand collection hoping to see Hayden Panettiere’s bag but no such luck. I did find these following beautifully patterned bags though. Only one of them is a cross body bag but the designs are just too lovely to pass up:

Clockwise from top: Lucky Brand Get Laced Embroidered Canvas Crossbody, $69.00; Lucky Brand Hightime Embroidered Leather Tote, $133.88; Lucky Brand Laser Cut Hightime Tote, $123.36

Any help with identifying Hayden Panettiere’s white embroidered cross body bag would be much appreciated!

Erika — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 22:26:16 +0000

Attention! The military trend is going long and still going strong this last quarter of 2010, and we definitely now have to take this “borrowed from the army” style to a whole new different level.

Isabel Lucas and the Jerome Dreyfuss Twee Satchel

Erika — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 07:05:02 +0000

Isabel Lucas was seen out going for a walk with a friend and two adorable puppies in New York City last Wednesday. The 25-year-old Australian stunner was wearing an Alexa Chung for Madewell navy blue polka dot dress and carrying a Jerome Dreyfuss Twee Satchel that day:

I know polka dots are a hot trend for dresses this coming fall but what I’m really focusing on on Isabel Lucas’ outfit is that beautiful red Jerome Dreyfuss bag! It’s such a lovely contrast to Miss Lucas’ navy blue polka dot dress, it matches her sandals and those double straps are very interesting details.

Isabel Lucas has now won me over with her true bohemian chic style – she always looks lovely and looks like she didn’t put any effort into it at all.

This is Isabel Lucas’ Jerome Dreyfuss Twee Satchel in black:

Yes it’s beautiful but it also costs $825.00 at FarFetch.com.

That’s a lot to pay for a bag especially when you can get these 3 red buckled cross body bags for less than $180:

Clockwise from top: Lucky Brand Hkrud934 Dreamer Crossbody Flap, $179.00; Topshop Buckle Strap Leather Satchel, $170.00; Big Buddha Zippy, $82.95

Though of course, Isabel Lucas’ bag comes with the Jerome Dreyfuss label and for some people, that’s already worth paying the $825.00 price tag.

I’d pay it if it would also give me Isabel Lucas’ effortless style!

Jessica Szohr vs. Jessica Szohr

Roselle — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 07:00:46 +0000

Last month, we saw Jessica Szohr looking downright sexy and casual in a purple fringe crossbody while filming a scene for Gossip Girl (click here to read article).

(FYI, Jessica’s cuff bracelet in the pic is by Jensen Conroy)

And just last week, she was spotted with our favorite purse once again, this time, a more classic looking saddle-like piece which she wore together with a frilly, ruffled, and girly outfit while filming another scene for the hot show.

So here’s the question I would like you to ponder on, which Jessica Szohr (or should I say Vanessa Abrams?) version do you prefer?

The uber casual, slightly bohemian, jean shorts wearing hot chick we saw a month ago? Or the ultra girly, ruffle wearing, sweet looking, lady like version spotted last week?

If you’re into flirty florals and ruffles, then you’d probably prefer the latter. In which case, you can get Jessica’s/Vanessa’s look with these pieces:

Shumaq Sarah Ruffle Trim Dress, US$158 (BlueFly); Lucky Brand Saddle Up Crossbody, US$159 (Zappos); Jessica Simpson Gobow Sandals, US$74 (sale @ Zappos); ABS Allen Schwartz Linear Drop Earrings, US$55 (sale @ Zappos); Juicy Couture Multi Layer Necklace, US$79 (sale @ Zappos); Lucky Brand Hippie Lux Daisy Necklace, US$44 (sale @ Zappos)

Now if you simply love the no-fuss no-frills sexy casual look she had on last month, then you will probably enjoy grabbing the style with these:

Signorelli New York Aids Tank, US$29 (ChickDownTown); Joe’s Jeans Sammy Roll Hem Stretch Denim Shorts, US$98 (ChickDownTown); Susan Farber Suede Tahoe Fringe Crossbody, US$266 (sale @ BlueFly); Jessica Simpson Beaded Cuff, US$43 (sale @ Zappos); Kendra Scott Otylia Ring, US$79 (Zappos); Lucky Brand Bonaroo Bound Voyage Necklace, US$35 (Zappos); Fossil Inspirational Cluster Necklace, US$75 (Zappos); Stuart Weitzman Studclog, US$197 (Zappos)

Taylor Swift and Her Kimchi Blue Flap Pouch Cross-Body Bag

Erika — Sun, 30 May 2010 16:56:11 +0000

Taylor Swift was seen shopping not for her next cute outfit, but for furniture at Pottery Barn in Beverly Hills, California on May 19. The 20-year-old country singer was looking how else but sweet and adorable that day:

I really love how this look is styled on Taylor Swift. It really matches her country girl-next-door persona and her squeaky clean image. Separately, the pieces that make up her outfit seem incongruent, but together and on Taylor Swift, they look like a match made in heaven.

Taylor Swift’s outfit consists of:

The Free People Crochet Stone Headband, $19.95 (was $28.00)

The Free People Short Sleeve Voluminous V-Neck Tee, $48.00

The Urban Outfitters Skinny Leather Belt, $20.00

The Free People Ruffled Layers Skirt, $58.00

And her cross body bag is the Kimchi Blue Flap Pouch Cross-Body Bag:

$38.00 at UrbanOutfitters.com

Unfortunately, the exact color of Taylor Swift’s Kimchi Blue bag is out of stock. If the Aztec print or the grey color on the website don’t do it for you, here are four more brown cross body flap bags to choose from:

Clockwise from top left: Fossil Destin Traveler, $78.00. Fossil Crosstown Flap, $78.00. Lucky Brand Small Stash Crossbody, $138.95. Overland Equipment Auburn, $56.00.

A Fresh Round of Reese Witherspoon Crossbody Sightings

Roselle — Thu, 13 May 2010 09:51:23 +0000

Here’s a fresh round of sightings of celebrity crossbody junkie, Reese Witherspoon. Most of these spots were taken late March to just last April.

Check out these photos and tell me what you think of Reese’s crossbody choices:

April 28, 2010

You can tell from the pictures that Reese is a simple dresser. She goes for neutrals or blacks and whites on most days. I have rarely seen her in something colorful. She is such an opposite to her Legally Blonde character, Elle, who loves pink!

The same goes for her taste in bags. Although she does have a thing for interesting twists, like pleat and bow details.

If you’re into classics and crossbodies like Reese here, try these simple but interesting pieces from Zappos.com:

Steven Sadi Crossbody Satchel, US$143

Elliot Lucca Aruba Crossbody Hobo, US$132

Fossil Lizette Crossbody, US$98

Cross Body Handbags Reign Supreme at the 2010 Coachella Music Festival

Erika — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 18:28:19 +0000

Coachella isn’t over yet but it’s already clear what the handbag of choice is at the music festival: none other than cross body handbags.

Here are a just a few of the many celebs who were (or are – today’s the last day) at the 2010 Coachella Music Festival, all sporting a different kind of cross body bag:

April 16, 2010 – Dita Von Teese attends the first day of Coachella

April 16, 2010 – The Hilton sisters Paris and Nicky at Coachella

April 17, 2010 – Katy Perry at the second day of the Coachella Music Festival

Even the people in the background in these pictures are sporting cross body bags!

It’s obvious why the cross body is so popular with concert goers: it’s comfortable to wear, it keeps your hands free to hold your drink, to clap, or to wave them in the air, and it keeps your stuff safely close against your body (very important especially in a crowded concert situation).

Even if you’re not going to Coachella, now is as good as any time to go shopping for a cross body bag. You’ll be ready to go if an occasion like Coachella comes up and it’s also good motivation to attend the festival next year (“But I already have an outfit to wear!”).

Check out these 5 cross body bag choices that are Coachella-ready:

The Sak Handbags Artist Circle Eco Crossbody, $55.30

Jessica Simpson Jimmy Boho Chic Crossbody, $48.88

Fossil Sasha Patchwork Crossbody, $75.60

Anuschka Handbags 432, $148.40

Lucky Brand Desert Rose Crossbody, $60.09
