Designer diaper bags for fall: fashionable + affordable
As we start heading towards fall, I've got new diaper bags on the brain. (Why should back to school shopping time be just for the kids?) It's been a while since I took a look to see what diaper bag label JP Lizzy has been up to, and it's a good thing I had a mind to do just that this week.



Ages ago we liked their diaper totes, but they don't quite feel like something I'd wear today. And wow, turns out JP Lizzy has come a long way with their 2012 styles. The new diaper bag satchels are a big win with an ample (but not humongo) size, and shiny quilted exteriors in all sorts of pretty color combos.


                        
               

Since this fall's big neon explosion isn't for everyone, I do like the slate color (shown) which offers just enough of a subtle yellow pop from the contrasting lining to feel stylish but not "trendy." Along the same lines, the tawny satchel has a nice go-with-anything vibe, and the matte exterior is a little more subtle. 

I do dig the white, but I know my lifestyle (and the NYC subway system) too well. I'll leave that one to you LA moms.

But hey, if you want to go for color, there's nothing wrong with that vibrant orange satchel either--though personally I'm not as crazy for the multi-colored lining as some of the other more simple ones. Still, it's a fun way to brighten up what amounts to a carrying case for things that generally smell, spill, or crumble. Fortunately, no one really has to know any of that when the styles are this cute. -Liz

Find very cute diaper bag satchels online from JP Lizzy. The tawny bag ships in mid-October.
