So you know we love a great handbag and a great steal, right?  Here’s a great new tip for the like-minded; check out www.GomattaGirls.com for their upcoming handbag sale.  They will feature a number of styles over the course of a week at rock bottom prices.  What’s a gomatta, you ask? It’s slang for a mobster girlfriend or mistress; no self-respecting wiseguy is without one.  So we have a pretty good idea of how they get their discounts to be so deep.  Their merchandise is discounted around 70-90%, and since these bags retail in places like Barney’s New York starting at $400, that’s some serious savings!

Don’t be confused–they sell only one style a day, and the next day it’s something new.  So if you like what you see, snap it up before somebody else does.  Supplies are limited, and as the Gomatta Girls say, once it’s gone, it’s gone for good!  If you go ahead and subscribe, you’ll get notified when the new merchandise goes up.

Trista Sutter of “The Bachelorette” recently launched her own  her line of eco-concious Diaper Bags.   The diaper bag line is called “Trista Baby” and is already getting tons of press.  What makes these diaper bags different than any other is that they are Eco-Concious, made in the USA, and display one-of-a-kind exclusive prints.

What I love about these diaper bags is that they can go well beyond motherhood.  These bags are just as fashionable as they are functional.  Trista Baby states that they are … “committed to bringing amazingly fashionable, incredibly functional and undeniably original solutions to the stylish mom, all while doing our part to make Mother Nature proud”.

Here are just a few of the positive testimonials:

“I love this bag. I can use it for anything & I can load it full of baby needs & know it can handle everything I put in it. I wish there was a smaller size for my own personal use! And, it looks great with anything!!”                                                                                                                                                                       

“Just got this bag today (teal/licorice tulip) and it is absolutely beautiful. Very well made (in the USA–another plus!) This bag will definitely last. I can’t wait to use this once baby arrives. Thank you Trista!”
