Tuesday Trend: Reasonable Crossbody Bags

05/28/13 | Cole Hann, Fashion and Style, Juicy Couture, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Ted Baker, Tuesday Trend

I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable Memorial Day!  You will see on my Instagram   that I am on vacation for the rest of the week but it is still back into the swing of things at Sparkles and Shoes.  I have mentioned on my about and contact pages, I love receiving questions from readers! You responded so well to my first attempt at answering a reader’s question with my yellow dresses under $150 I have decided to answer another for this Tuesday/Thursday trend: 

Kelly, I am looking for a great cross body bag.  
Do you have any suggestions for ones under $200? 
Oh, and I do not like big, flashy logos. 
To begin, I have a few questions for this reader:  How big would you like the bag to be?  What color? And what do you consider a big logo?  When With the answers to these questions “to fit my evening necessities  it doesn’t matter, and not too big”, I have found six cute options in a variety of colors: 
(click on each to see more!)

Ted Baker Skapari Crossbody $145
Juicy Couture Dylan Crossbody $168
Marc by Marc Jacobs Preppy Nylon Natasha $178
Cole Haan Jitney Patent Zip-Top Crossbody $128
MICHAEL Michael Kors Charlton Crossbody $138
I am very happy with my crossbody, a black patent Michael Kors Jet Set, and my other “evening” options but I am tempted to add to my collection with another of these cute options!
Mary, I hope you like my picks!

    I prefer cross-body bags over handbags or shoulder bags but never find the right one. These look very stylish though. πŸ™‚

    Great selections!!! Loving all the colors. I love cross-body bags! Believe it or not I’ve bought a ton of vintage coach ones at my local goodwill! They are awesome because (1) they’re the original design (2) Made in the U.S.A (3) Real leather (4) gently worn so it has that vintage feel. I’ve bought them ranging from $5.00 to $40.00. So check out for local thrift for some great finds.

    I adore crossbody bags. Seriously, they’re the only way to shop. It’s so annoying to lug around a big ol’ bag when you have stuff to get done. These are all great picks!

    Those are cute, and I am loving the neon trend. I was resistant to crossbody bags at first because I thought they emphasized my overly big boobs (boo hoo, I know, but it creates awkwardness), but they comfort of a crossbody bag is just too good to pass up!

    A cross body bag is actually something I have yet to purchase. I really need to pick one up soon. I have always just been drawn to huge handbags. Or my newest obsession is with clutches. The Ted Baker and Michael Kors bags above are my favorites.
