OiOi Diaper Bags

Diaper bags seem to be a pretty "hot" accessory right now. I remember when I was pregnant with my first son, back in 2004... there weren't nearly as many fashionable diaper bags available. If they were fashionable at all, they usually couldn't hold everything. It's SO MUCH different now! I love getting the opportunity to check out some of the latest fashionable and functional diaper bags.

OiOi has some incredible diaper bags for moms. I was sent the Kiwi Floral Disc Hobo Sack to try out. Immediately what I love about it was the print... I thought it was cool, colorful and carefree. The beige strap is natural cotton and it's adjustable. I love that because my husband is 6'2" and I'm 5'... talk about a height difference. It's great to have the luxury of an easy adjustable strap. The chocolate faux leather trim is also one of my favorite fashionable features of the Hobo Sack. I really think it adds to the fabulous-ness of the bag itself... along with the nickel hardware. It's the details that really make a difference.



But truly... the colorful print and design just scratches the surface... there's so much more to this incredible Hobo Sack Diaper Bag.

As every mother knows, you go everywhere with your diaper bag - rain, sleet, snow or sunshine - you're out and about, doing your thing! The fact that the Hobo Sack is water resistant is fabulous! Rainy weather (like today in Rhode Island), who cares!? You can handle it.

So what's inside? Is it big enough to handle everything you actually need? Yes. Yes. And yes.

The main pocket is big enough for diapers, wet wipes, toys, your wallet, bibs and books. And as you can see, there's inner pockets, too!

It's a solid space where you really can get everything in without cramming. There's also 2 exterior sidepockets that are perfect for sippys or even your cell phone. If your baby is a binkie baby... you will love love love the key fob holder for his/her pacifers.

An added bonus, the Hobo Sack comes with a padded changing mat and OiOi wipe case. This is wonderful because we are using a diaper bag because we're out and about... so by having the changing mat and wipe case for all needed diaper-duties, it's absolutely convenient. You have to love anything that makes your life easier and more convenient.

Oh... and let me say these words, insulated bottle carrier. That's in there, too!

I thoroughly enjoyed trying this Hobo Sack out... with 4 boys, even at 5, 4, 3 and 2... I'm still bringing tons of stuff out with me. Sippys, snacks, bottles, diapers, wet wipes, books... they're all in there. I love that I have something that can carry it all and still be oh-so-chic.

Designer Diaper Bags

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - there's a BABY BOOM going on right now! I know so many, many women that are pregnant right now! Some that due soon. Some that are due this Fall. And some who haven't even officially announced it yet! It's an exciting time!

With all this exciting baby news... I've been getting asked some "fashionable" questions. I have to say, I love it! There are some incredible products out there for expectant moms, it's so much fun to be able to check them out and spread the word.

One topic of conversation lately has been - DIAPER BAGS.

Honestly... I remember when I was pregnant with William, all I wanted was the coolest, most fashion-forward, chic diaper bag around. I ended up with a Kate Spade one... but I have to be honest, it wasn't big enough for all the stuff I needed (or wanted) to tote around.

The question became - where can I find a diaper bag that will also be 100% as functional as it is stylish?

Fast forward 5 1/2 years...

Here are my TOP 5 Fashionable and Functional Diaper Bags:

1. Momma Couture - They have an array of fashionable and functional diaper bags. My personal, personal favorite is the Satchel. The Satchel looks like a handbag... it's gorgeous! But... it's the room inside that every mom will love. Not to mention there's insulated pockets for bottles and sippys!
2. OiOi - Their combination of fashion and function is fabulous. I absolutely love this rocker chic - Studded Black Faux Leather Hobo.
3. timi & leslie - Their diaper bags are classic, chic and sophisticated all at the same time. You almost can't believe there's a ton of room available! My favorite is their quilted nylon, Camilla.
4. Liz Lange - If anyone knows how to combine chic style with function, it's Liz Lange. She's the expert at this... and I adore her! My absolute favorite of Liz Lange's is the Marlena Pebble Collection. It's absolutely stunning! I kind of like to call it the Birken Diaper Bag. ;)

5. Storksak - Every woman needs the essential black bag... here's your bag that doubles as both! It's fashionable, classy and the hardware on it is gorgeous!
