As the temperature rises, the desire to be outside increases as well. Day parties, festivals, concerts, and good old fashion BBQs fill your days, and one of the things you DON’T want to deal with is a huge shoulder bag dragging you down. Easy solution? Invest in a cross-body bag. They’re just as cute as a shoulder or clutch, but without all of the hassle. Here are 9 cute ones I found to help brighten your wardrobe and lighten your load. Warning: it IS Spring so no black was allowed. Where to shop: 1. Floral Canvas Cross-body Bag, $20 2. Cleobella Mini Cantina Cross-body Bag, $98 3. Tan Leather Coloured Satchel, $90 4. Ochre Chain Cross-body Bag, $30 5. Marc by Marc Jacobs Preppy Nylon, Sasha, $175 6. Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q, Percy, $198 7. Linea Nancy Colour Block Cross-body Bag, $57 8.

I love, love, LOVE the coral color; it’s right on trend for Spring, and it’s not too casual so you can pair it with a lot of different looks. I currently own 3 but will be collecting them over the summer. How about you? Any faves? Any recommenddations? Comment below!
