I love to shop and I love clothes. I also love purses!! And, I would say, I try to be stylish but not overly trendy when I consider purchasing something for my closet. When it comes to diaper bags…this becomes a slight challenge. When Davis was a baby, I revolted and said that surely I could use a big, regular, non-diaper bag purse as a diaper bag. I quickly learned that that is the fastest way to ruin a nice Cole Haan bag (read: milk/formula/biscotti crumbs/ general you-know-what all over my bag….those smells do not come out easily!). What an expensive mistake! After that disaster, I ended up getting this handy bag from Stork Sak:
I loved it. It was so functional and people didn’t even know it was a diaper bag (SCORE)! I got tons of complements on it. For this next babe, however, I’m looking to go in a different direction than black. Let’s take a look-see at what’s on the market these days!
Tempting…same bag but in a sassy pewter color. From Saks.
Seriously?! I am DYING over this one from Mia Bossi at Little Dudes and Divas!
Black but kick-ace!! Bliss Diaper Bags
Also from Bliss…and super stylish.
The scarf on this bag rocks! And, you can change it up if you wish. Smart!
Another showstopper! Skip Hop
Kate Spade…having too much fun for summer!
Loving the mint/chocolate combo here!
And for a mini-date with your hubs and baby in tow, how cute is the diaper clutch from Petunia Pickle Bottom?
Ladies: Don’t be afraid to purchase one of these beauties even if you don’t have a babe yet. The storage is sensational! I loved just putting bottled water in the sides, etc. Genius!! Also, who came up with the rough term “diaper bag.” Can we re-name it the “Mary Poppins Bag” because somehow, you manage to include everything (including floor lamps) but the kitchen sink inside of it? Or, the “Magic Bag”…anything else, please!
Oh, and I must note that I realize some of these bags are super expensive. But, the way I look at it…it’s the only purse I’ll be carrying for at least eight months. Worth. Every. Penny.
Do you have any other great bag finds? Send them my way!!

Thanks for visiting my site for children's artwork. This is the story of a girl who thought she had to be "mainstream" corporate only to figure out that life is much happier for her painting animals on canvas. Look through the entire site: the blog features my daily craziness as I keep up with my own business, help my hubs with his law practice and chase after our two-year-old and Golden Retriever. The Gallery features my most recent works. The Shop is the best; it's where you can buy a little piece of it for yourself! I love painting. I love designing. I love writing. I bring it all together here at Lambchop Designs!
