I am about three months away from welcoming my perfect little fashionista/super-athlete/future CEO into the world and mama needs a diaper bag that doesn’t scream “I love pastels and changing diapers!” Considering this new bag is going to be traveling with me everywhere, I want one I ‘m not gonna get sick of and that goes with everything - without being boring. So today - because us pregos are moody and are entitled to change our minds every day - my favorite diaper bag is the kate spade Classic Noel Henry Baby Bag. It comes with a changing pad and is a great handbag even after the baby’s diaper days are long gone. Now, at $425 it may be a bit expensive for some, so I put it on my baby shower registry just in case someone is feeling generous!

I am not a person that makes decisions very easily, particularly when it comes to my bags and accessories, but I kept coming back to this one bag. It’s big, but not cumbersome. It’s bright but not too bright. It’s a nice quality, but it’s not gonna break the bank. Ok, Mr. Bush, I’ll take your tax rebate and buy myself the bag that’s been haunting me - the Big Buddha Olivia >>> I love that it’s a fun yellow, a color I normally don’t wear so therefore it goes with everything! No worries about clashing yellows here. It’s a pick-me-up color with a convenient pocket in the front all for a good price. Can’t go wrong, right? I’ve had my eye on Big Buddha for a while - they’ve got great styles with colors that pop. Add them to your list!

First, I must apologize for this sports-related and very non-fashionista post as many Handbags.com visitors would likely rather hear about designers spring collections than my fanhood - but - on the chance that our readers are avid sports fans like myself, here we go! (It’s Super Bowl week! How could I resist!) Being born and raised in Massachusetts, you have no choice but to enthusiastically be a rabid Red Sox and Patriots fan, living and dying with every pitch or yard (and screaming at the TV loud enough to scare my fiance). Hate them or love them, if you were born in New York or are from Wisconsin or Chicago or any other big league city, you can appreciate the need to have your team’s gear. Until Littlearth came along, female fans had nowhere to turn for an all-star handbag, but thankfully we now have these! There are a variety of types for each of the 32 NFL teams. Made from license plates, not only will they keep your belongings safe, but come in handy if you need to swat off a rowdy opposing fan at a bar. Some even come with Swarovski Crystals if you’re looking for that extra bling to match your teams championship ring(s).

It seems like every week there’s a celebrity who has decided to come out with their own clothing label and the ones who usually find success seem to be musicians. It’s natural I suppose to have music that you enjoy relate to a certain lifestyle or image and continue that self-expression in what you wear. My personal favorite celebrity designer would have to be Gwen Stefani and her L.A.M.B. line. Though you can’t see these handbags on eBags.com just yet, here’s some eye candy for you… Other notable names that you can find on eBags.com include Jessica Simpson, Fergie, and Trista Sutter of “The Bachelorette” fame and new mom to son Max. One of Jessica’s bags that I’m crushing on right now is the Kane Cut-Out Satchel. Look how cute this is! Speaking of cute, what mom doesn’t want need a cute diaper bag? Trista Sutter has designed a line of eco-friendly diaper bags called Trista Baby, sold exclusively at eBags.com. You may have seen this stunner, the Tulip Bloom Tote, in US Weekly or Redbook. The newest member to eBags’ celebrity designer list is Fergie who has partnered with Kipling for a line creatively called Fergie for Kipling. Much like how my girl Gwen originally starting designing bags for LeSportsac, Fergie has created a line that is heavily influenced by her own style and music. One of my favorites is the Trailblazer Tote… No matter if your inspiration comes from more traditional designers or up and coming multi-hyphenate celebrities, the most important thing is to rock your own style. Who’s your favorite designer? Who do you wish had their own clothing and handbag line?

Just like that little black dress, a favorite pair of jeans and some knockout heels, I believe every woman should have the perfect clutch. Not only does the right purse or handbag pull an outfit together, it makes a statement and says something huge about your personal style.

 

THE CLASSICS

For instance, check out this Aerin Patent Flap Clutch from Cole Haan. Not only is it beautifully crafted, but it’s functional and sassy. There’s a small strap you can use to carry it on your wrist and there is plenty of space to hold your essentials. Classic and gorgeous, add this to your wish list. (And if you don’t get it as a gift, go ahead and get it for yourself. You deserve it.)

 

Now, if you like to be a bit more organized, you might fancy the Rachel from HOBO International. This clutch - the #1 selling clutch on eBags - acts more like a big wallet with eight card slots, an ID window and a zippered pocket, just to name a few features. And who doesn’t love the feel of fine Italian leather in their hands?

 

THE FUNKY

Do you like burritos? Or croissants? I do, both actually, but never would I have thought to take a burrito and mix it with a wallet. No, you can’t eat this, but the Susan Nichole Wallet Wrap Clutch literally rolls around itself to secure your belongings. Cool, huh? And at only $24, you could get two different flavors colors.

 

 

Definitely not for the timid, Antoinette Lee Designs offers the exotic and beautiful Python Emboss Luas. This clutch is sure to grab your attention… and onto your wrist. It comes with a leather cuff attachted by a chain (the cuff is removable). Bizarre to some, glamorous to others.

 

 

 

THE FASHIONISTA

While the definition of “fashionista” is up for debate, if you can pull an outfit together with this gorgeous Rafe Joy Long Frame Clutch, you pretty much live up to the term. Nothing says confidence quite like a bold animal print.

 

 

Metallics is a trend that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, so if you haven’t already, jump on the bandwagon and look great doing it! This Kenneth Cole Reaction Foldover Metallic Clutch is a sweet and shiny and perfect for that girls’ night out.

 

I’ll admit it, I’m a sucker for anything green. Add a little sparkle and style and I’m sold! The Kennedy Clutch is an amazing accessory brought to you by The Jesse B. Collection just in time to hit the holiday scene.

Just like Jackie O. brought style, class, and sophistication, so will you but with an added dose of modern color. Not typically in love with clutches because they usually don’t fit everything you need? No worries here as you’ll have plenty of room for your keys, cell phone, make-up and more. Not to mention, the interior is printed with a charming plaid and the pin is removable so you can add different pins to suite your mood. Versatile and stylish - just like the woman who carries it.

Have you ever had a handbag that just “got you”? Like the designer has heard you every time you thought to yourself, “I like that bag but it would be better if…” and even offered it in two colors you would have picked yourself? Well, thank you Cynthia Rowley for answering my prayers! Her Antoinette Shine Shoulder Bag is roomy and stylish but doesn’t go overboard with bells and whistles. You can carry it by the handles or on your shoulder and all the straps are detachable. Its fashion and function all in one!
