MATERNITY MONDAY… THE best baby bags

One of the most important thing on every expectant mother’s wish list are fabulous baby bags.  IT’s these diaper bags you’ll be hauling around 24/7 to carry all the diapers, wipes, binkies and blankets that come with having a baby.  The best baby bags are light weight but sizable so you can carry around everything you might need in an emergency blow out situation (trust me within the first week you’ll know what this is) without killing your back.  I remember the day after I got out of the hospital we were taking Max t the pediatrician for a weigh in and I wasn’t going to bring my Gucci baby bag since we weren’t going to be long, but grabbed it at the last minute… which was fortunate as upon arrival at the Dr. I discovered my first full blown blow out situation.  These baby bags aren’t just an accessory – they’re a necessity so you may as well find one you love!  Check out my favorite diaper bags that you’re friend’s without babies will covet!

MOMMA WANTS… big slouchy bags

IMG_9155

A great big slouchy bag like this Chanel one can not only fit all the ridiculous things we feel the need to have with us but it looks effortlessly chic as well!

As a mom and as a fashion stylist I am obsessed with big slouchy bags.  Why?  Because I can fit all my stuff in them, they’re fabulous and because of the lack of structure give a perfect relaxed look.  Great slouchy bags have a boho feel but with a more contemporary edge.  They’re the perfect alternative to a diaper bag – you can pack them full of diapers, bottles, change of clothes, toys and yes, there is room for your stuff too!  These slouchy bags give that ideal throw on and go feel – great with jeans or a little dress – they’re the perfect bag for blending fashion and function.  Whether big, bigger or biggest – every woman needs on in her accessory arsenal.  Check out my favorite big slouchy bags and take everything with you!

MATERNITY MONDAY… fabulous diaper bags!

Yes, I said it, fabulous diaper bags – you’re going to need something to lug around all the bits and pieces that you need for baby so you may as well love it!  Accessories are my jam, I love some great bags and shoes – the fact that we need a carry all when we have a baby just means another reason to buy a bag.  The modern day diaper bags are far from just practical – sure they come with a changing pad and all the pockets you could possibly need but they also come in in credible prints and styles that will make your friends who don’t have kids asking where you got it!  Having a child means never leaving home without everything but the kitchen sink so you may as well have something stylish to lug it around in.  Check out some of my favorite diaper bags that will not only service your new momma needs but also tick your accessory addict box!  PS – also some cute dad bag options because babies usually come with 2 parents… And sometimes dad’s don’t want to carry your purse…

MATERNITY MONDAY… baby bags for stylish moms

Been there done that moms and mom’s to be alike need baby bags – its the universal mom essential.  One of the first things I bought when I found out I was pregnant was the Gucci diaper bag.  My feelings were, I’m going to need to be carrying around diapers, bottles and all the many various other baby accessories so I may as well find one I love.  Great baby bags don’t have to be strictly practical, I’m all about finding ones that will not only service your baby needs but make your baby-less friends ask if they make them without the changing pads and bottle holders…  Ultimately, becoming mom means remembering to pack baby wipes in lieu of lip gloss – but if you have the perfect diaper bag their might just be room for both.  Check out some of my favorite baby bags for all the stylish mom’s who want their accessories to be as gorgeous as they are functional!

MATERNITY MONDAY – best diaper bags and they look great too!

Baby on board?  Well, whether your bundle of joy is still cooking or has already arrived one thing is for sure – you need a diaper bag!!  Why is a diaper bag different from other bags?  Well, its go compartments for bottles, is wipeable (for all the milk spills and other messes that come with baby), it usually comes with a changing pad (trust me – you need this) and it fits everything you need for an outing with your little one!  One of the first things I bought when I found out I was expecting was my Gucci diaper bag.  I thought I was being so practical and responsible buying something I needed and didn’t just want… But, the truth was I was terrified of hideous diaper bags and I needed the security that I wouldn’t have to sacrifice my love for accessories when my little guy arrived.  That said, there are SO many amazing designs out there, I really didn’t have to worry at all.  I wanted to share some of the amazing, yet practical best diaper bags out there so you can be prepared for your baby’s little accidents and still be excited about your new bag!  Enjoy my favorite selects that will give your non-expecting friends bag envy…
