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

All of these are available at the best website to find deals, 6pm.com.

It’s another Miley post! This time, the bag of hers we’re featuring is less controversial than the Armani Chevron Print Tote she used in the Paris kissing shots and less um, ugly than that furry messenger bag she carried around at the start of the year.

The cross body bag in focus now is the gorgeous Balenciaga Giant Pompon bag, which Miley has in very heavy rotation. Check out some shots of Miley with her beloved Balenciaga:

The latest spot of Miley Cyrus with her Balenciaga is the last picture, taken just last March 29 when she went out on a double date with her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth and some friends. Although I don’t always approve of Miley’s fashion choices, I’m with Miley on this one – I wholeheartedly agree that a bag that pretty (and that expensive – it’s $1,795!) deserves to be taken out as much as possible.

If you buy thousand-dollar bags like they were candy, then I’m envious and you can go right ahead and purchase the Balenciaga Giant Pompon bag at the Balenciaga website (just click on the link). If you’re like me and would rather splurge on the candy, then don’t worry because there are cheaper versions – always.

Here are 3 cross body bucket bags that are similar to Miley’s, all from The Sak:

The Sak Handbags Madera Drawstring, $203.00 now only $121.00

The Sak Handbags Silverlake Drawstring, $203.00

The Sak Handbags Studded Small Drawstring, $55.00

The Sak Handbags are available at Zappos.com.

Ladies, the drawstring bucket bag is back! And why not? It’s the best accessory to tote around this season, especially if you’re off to the beach.

Take a hint from Alexander Wang’s Diego Bucket Bag for spring. This one sold out so fast some of us didn’t even notice it was released. Just by looking at its luxurious leather material and beautiful detailing is already enough to explain why this bag sold out like it was just a dollar.
