The Crossbody Bag

Although I love my big totes and satchels, sometimes smaller is better. Crossover or swingpack bags are perfect when you just need something to carry your essential and keep your hands free to shop without worrying about knocking a display over. They are also perfect for walking around school and heading out for lunch.  A little roomier then wristlets, and more practical then clutches.

Here are some ideas for chic and cute crossovers.

(clockwise from top)

1. Victoria Secret - These are really cute although no longer available on their site. The style is perfect for minimalists and those who don't carry an arm or leg in their bag. 

2. Edinburgh Livingston by L.A.M.B - Although fabulous look that is no longer available :( I really wanted this one and I can't seem to locate it anywhere online at the moment. It's perfect for those looking for a unique bag that is simple yet edgy. 

3. Kimchi Blue April Tote (urbanoutfitters.com) - This is for those that love refined lines and structured bags. It's a bit bigger then most cross-bodies and this one is available online - here

4. MICHAEL Michael Kors Small Cross-Body Messenger - I like the buckle detail and high quality leather of this one from Michael Kors. It is also available on eluxury.com - here

5. Coach Heritage Stripe Swingpack in Magenta - Coach is well-known for their signature swing packs and they have numerous collections of them. This is one of the new ones from their Heritage Stripes collection. If you love pink and all things girly, this is the one for you. Click here to view details.
