diaper bagSo you're having, or you have, a baby. That's awesome! Way to go. Now what? Well, besides all the life-changing miracles blah blah blah, you gotta decide on the diaper bag. Forget about doctor's appointments and breastfeeding and all that serious stuff for a second, and let's focus instead on some fun bags. I've pulled 10 that I think look great for the price and could double as a large handbag for work or play once you're done hauling bottles, Goldfish, and Pampers. Take a look!

A Mom's Life, Uncensored

mom bagSusan Wagner is a mom who believes workout clothes are for working out and “casual Friday” will be the downfall of Western civilization. In other words? She doesn't dress like one of "those moms." And she helps the rest of us avoid the mom jeans trap with her writings on her blog The Working Closet.

She's here to help us celebrate Mother's Day with a look at the day she gave up the big bag full of her kids' stuff and her own:

I’ve always been a big bag kind of girl; even before I had kids, I hauled around a gigantic handbag full of I don’t know what. It was all super important, though, and I needed all of it with me all of the time.

I’m over that.

special k purseI think all the sunshine has gone to their heads Down Under, because in no way does this make any sense whatsoever. An Australian fashion designer, Kirrily Johnston, and cereal company Kellogg's teamed up to make one helluva purse. Red velvet with a leather tassel, the bag has a special pocket where women can keep their healthy snacks, like, say, a Kellogg's cereal bar, and the bag is supposed to help ladies remember to snack responsibly. The real kicker is that it was displayed at Australia's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week (what!?) and that it retails for $750 (what?!?!).

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever thought that a $750 purse with a special pocket for a protein bar was what was missing from your life?

Dianna Agron from GleeSpring is totally the best season for fashion, wouldn't you agree?

OK, so that's a little drastic. OK, a lot drastic. But Dianna's planted the spring accessory shopping bug in me and I just can't let it go. Check out these 8 great bags perfect for spring:

Awesome Leonardo da Vinci Purse Design Brings New Meaning to the Word ‘Vintage’

Posted by Lindsay Mannering

leonardo da vinci purseThis spring's hottest accessory is a vintage purse. And when I say vintage, I mean it. It's from the late 15th century, and women all over the world will be clamoring to own this unique bag designed by the one and only Leonardo da Vinci. The renaissance man most known for his exquisite paintings, sculptures, and scientific discoveries was apparently also a talented bag designer. Back in 1497, he drew in detail what the bag would look like and the sketch was found in one of Leonardo's volume of notes that he cataloged between 1478 and 1519. Now, an Italian leather goods company has decided to bring this bag to life.

Told you it was vintage.

This Designer Purrrse Is a Total Cat-Astrophe

Posted by Lindsay Mannering
on Jan 11, 2012 at 10:42 AM

cat purseWant the purrrrfect accessories this winter? Look no further than this purrrrse. Made out of leather and rabbit hair, this H. Lorenzo clutch retails for $1,085. I suppose no cats where harmed in the making of this bag, but cows and rabbits sure were. Anyway, only rich, crazy cat ladies (wait, was that an oxymoron?) are probably interested in carrying around this cat-astrophe of a bag because nothing says I'm out of touch with reality quite like holding a cat pillow, which doubles as a bag, that costs more than my first used car.

Where would one wear this thing? To a mewseum? To meet with claw enforcement? To get some mice cream? (Nailed it.) Let's be real, there's no place on earth that a thousand-dollar cat purse is appropriate.

mollascope bagRemember the trend a few years ago that mandated we carry purses the size of our houses? Poor Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, we couldn't tell back then if they were carrying the bag, or if the bag was carrying them. The argument for the style was that the gigantic bags were hobo-chic and supposedly made you look smaller. Now, there's a company that's taken it one step further. Say hello to the Contour Canvas bag by MollaSpace.

Why spend hundreds on gym memberships or thousands on liposuction when $45 will get you the body you've always dreamed of?
