Why does the diaper bag feel like such a big deal then? Short answer: I don't know; I've never had one before. Long Answer: I've asked all my mom friends and the consensus seems to be "Because we have to carry it around with us for the next 2-5 years and it has the potential, if chosen poorly, to make us feel like a pack mule."
Now I am not a fashion-diva. Blue jeans and Converse are more my natural habitat. But even I draw the line at being seen with a giant Winnie the Pooh carryall slung over my shoulder until 2013. So what's a girl to do? Call up the Duchess and beg for a fabulous, all-terrain, sophisticated diaper bag for Christmas!
Ta-da!! The MZ Wallace "Kate" bag. It's so magnificent I can hardly stand it! I love it - really truly love it - more than I can say. Plus, it has all the goo-gaws that a diaper bag should have: 2 exterior bottle pockets, diaper changing pad, attachable shoulder strap, detachable market purse, 10 interior pockets and it's water and stain resistant!So much love to, the Duchess, the world's best mother-in-law,

Ohh, I like it. And, I'd never seen this one before. It's really chic! We're trying to find a diaper bag that makes both a gal and a guy happy though, and somehow I feel that the search must continue. I'll look longingly though.
Alas I have no dutchess in my life. I asked for a nice corduroy messenger bag style diaper bag and didn't even get that. I ended up buying a cloth beach bag at walmart for 5 dollars and it's lasted so far. Of course I'm not quite that trendy ;-)
Love you!
How ironic! I have just been doing the same thing - looking for a bag. I think I have decided to not get a 'proper' bag though as most over here have attached change mats and they are all designed for newborns - not excitable larger toddlers!! That one does look nice though.....
Oh, very wise choice made by the Duchess!!! No self-respecting mother lugs around Winnie the Pooh diaper bags! Egads! I had the absolute best diaper bag (don't ask me what it was because I've forgotten), but my mother & sister lost it in Kohls dept store! Can you believe that?!?!? I still haven't forgiven them, yet I don't even remember the brand. ha ha
AAAAH The diaper bag!!! It's very important! And I agree with that Pooh comment.
I like this one! Never found one I loved that I could also afford LOL so I'm carrying my mega tote bag which doesn't have all the nifty pockets but it's very very cute!
When C takes M, it's a black backpack style.
This post made me smile, Rosemary. I went on a mad hunt for my diaper bag as well and ended up with a cute little canvas Kate Spade. I loved carrying that thing for almost 2 years and, though I'm sure I was, it somehow made me feel like I wasn't a frumpy old mom. Good choice.
ooooo! I LOVE it! Looks like a Botkier bag and I love Botkier! And I disagree that you are not a fashion diva. You seem quite stylish to me!
Looks like a really cute diaper bag, actually more like a purse!! And it sounds very functional~
