Reader Question: Diaper Bags

Hola! Would love a post on cute and functional diaper bags some time...most I've found are super ug!! :)

Cute I can definitely do. Functional I'm not so sure about. Not actually having had a baby, I'm not sure what makes for functionality. I know the Kate Spade bags have stroller clips (I'm sure others of these brands do too, I just didn't read the specs on them). And many, if not all, of these bags come with changing mats.

As far as cute, I love a diaper bag that looks like a handbag. I don't need something that screams "baby!" I think the baby I'll be carrying around will do just fine at letting people know I have a little one. My diaper bag, however, should just be another cute accessory. An accessory, mind you, that does NOT need to match your baby. I don't know how many times I've heard people worry they can't have a pink diaper bag because they have a boy. A) your diaper bag is your accessory, who cares what gender your baby is. B) what on earth do you want a pink diaper bag for??? This goes with the whole not screaming "baby" thing. If I wouldn't carry a regular handbag in pink, I'm not carrying a diaper bag in pink.

Below are many diaper bagoptions at a range of prices. I've also included a link for a changing mat on its own in case you go the route that many people do - just buy a nice, big, cute bag and stick baby things in it. It's a totally viable option!
