The latest fad is an incredibly easy one to get in on, it's perfect for moms and busy women in particular, and chances are you won't have to spend a dime to do it.
Crossbody bags are the way to go right now in Hollywood, whether celebrities are walking through the airport or attending a red carpet event. All the major retailers are fully stocked with crossbody bags right now, however you can make the look work with practically any bag with a shoulder strap, particularly if it's adjustable.

Reese Witherspoon doesn't go anywhere lately without a crossbody bag... whether it's a casual version...

Fancy clutches also are coming with optional crossbody straps now, making them extra-versatile. Check out Blake Lively's.
I like this trend because it makes fashion functional. Wearing a bag across your body frees up your hands and makes purse snatching highly unlikely. It's also a great trend to buy because even when the crossbody trend is over, you can wear the bag on your shoulder or carry a smaller one as a clutch- just make sure you get a bag with an adjustable or optional strap to extend its possibilities, because the time will come very soon when wearing your bag crossbody will once again be considered frumpy!
Here are a few of my favorite crossbody options.

For special occasions, I love this Rosette Crossbody Clutch from Bebe. It's $69.99 in metallic or pink and $98 in black. Again, you can carry it as a clutch or as a crossbody bag, so it's a great investment.
