The Not So Baby Bag



As a handbag fanatic it is really hard to bring myself to use one of those totally utilitarian baby bags.  Definitely since the arrival of the little monster the handbag budget has be severely cut back and I'm just not as obsessed as I used to be.  Don't get me wrong I am still a huge bag lover but I just don't have the time to be completely addicted!  To be totally honest, I don't even really know what the latest it bag is anymore! But that doesn't mean that I will leave the house with just anything because a beautiful bag still puts a huge smile on my face.

My definition of a baby bag is that as long as it holds all the baby crap I need to leave the house, can fit over my shoulder and if I can somehow hang if off the Bugaboo, then to me it is 100% a baby bag.  That way I can still use a bag that I love without having to sacrifice style.  I do own the Anya Hindmarch Oakley and this is the only actual baby bag that I have.  I just love how it looks and it is actually a really practical bag!  The Balenciaga City and Givenchy Nightingale can hold a ton of stuff and has the bonus of a removable shoulder strap.  This makes it much easier to hang off of a buggy.  I can never have enough totes and I absolutely love the Vanessa Bruno sequin tote and the Lanvin Amalia.  Both are super French chic.  The Tory Burch Tory Tote is a great size and comes in so many fun and fabulous color combinations.

I use the Storksak Stroller Clips, Thing King Buggy Hooks, or the Mommyhook to help hang my handbags off the Bugaboo.  These are all so handy and can turn any bag into a baby bag.

Can't wait for the diaper days to be over and can go back to using any bag my heart desires!
