Diaper bags that go beyond the diaper phase
Having a baby right at the change of season is very dangerous for my wallet because it's far too easy to rationalize a new diaper bag purchase. Something swanky. Something current. Something that makes me feel more stylish and less enormous and leaky than I'm actually feeling these days.

The brand new Nest Dexter Diaper bag may be that very thing. I'm talking myself into the Nest Dexter Diaper bag as we speak, although it's not quite as pricey as some of the other designer bags that start at least a good $100 more. And what you get with Nest bags... well, let's just say it's easy to see why they're a celebrity mom favorite.

The styling of this particular bag is fantastic, especially the military green (so hot right now!) and the gold flat studs. But the functionality is equally awesome, with the water-resistant lining which actually completely zips out; this way, you can wash it and put it back, or take it out completely for an awesome post-diaper handbag. No one will ever know, considering it's devoid of those exterior bottle pockets.

None of that Oh it's a beautiful bridesmaid's dress that you'll be able to wear again, I promise! BS. This really is one that you can wear again.So, really, it's like you're getting two amazing bags for the price of one. I think that just sealed the deal for me.

Although I already was convinced about four sentences ago. -Kristen

Find the Nest Dexter Diaper bag, along with a bunch of their other designer diaper bags at Arte Bebe. And this bag ships free in the continental US. Whoo!
