Here’s Tori Spelling doing some mommy duty with her two kids, Liam and Stella.

Tori Spelling, July 8

The trio were spotted at Petco buying a lizard tank. I just couldn’t help but notice the way Tori was dressed. I love the way she tucked her skinny jeans into those wide cuffed sandals, though I’m not exactly a fan of the tunic top she wore it with.

Of course, I didn’t miss the chain strap crossbody she was toting. I have seen that bag before, while browsing through Shopbop’s inventory of purses; that’s the Made Her Think Alice Bag.

The chain strap is detachable, so it can also function as a clutch when you need the variation.

Like it? It’s sort of pricey, going at about US$548. But if you can afford it, go ahead and make the purchase (Shopbop.com).

If you cannot though, you can opt for these equally appealing substitutes:

From top left (clockwise): Juicy Couture ’70s Tomboy Farrah, US$198; Betsey Johnson Kiss Locked Frame Crossbody, US$98; BCBG Max Azria PET-137 Crossbody, US$148

Nikki Reed with Rebecca Minkoff Biker Flap Clutch

Hot new actress Nikki Reed took some time off from promoting “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” and was spotted just chilling out with her “brother” Nathan in New York last July 6.

I put that in quotes because although celebrity gossip sites have identified this guy as Nikki Reed’s brother, they were seen heading into a tattoo parlor and coming out with matching bandages on their forearms that day. I don’t know, I just find that kind of strange. Do you? Maybe I’m just not the type to walk arm-in-arm and get tattoos together with my brother.

Anyway, cute outfit Nikki Reed!

NR’s cross body purse is the Rebecca Minkoff Biker Flap Clutch:

Football Star Focus: Cristiano Ronaldo

This is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo

In case you don’t know him yet, he is a Portuguese football (soccer for Americans) star who plays for the English Premier League team Manchester United. Isn’t he just hot?

His hotness has done him quite well. It got him to do ad campaigns for Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans. Here’s a sample of the ad.

Definitely sizzling! Ah well, I guess you could say David Beckham will have to move over because this guy is just getting started.

Now Cristiano was spotted a couple of times in New York a few days ago. And guess what? The football hottie is a crossbody junkie! Check out these pictures:

Perhaps it was a camera bag, perhaps it wasn’t. But one thing is for sure, Cristiano wore it the crossbody way. And that we love.

The pictures don’t really give a clear view of how the bag looks like, but we’re  guessing it could look like any of these:

Keen Oswego, US$80; Diesel Glory, on sale for US$112; Eagle Creek Vagabond, US$69
