If you are like me and are OBSESSED with the reality television show The Bachelor (then you probably still hate that jerk Jason for dumping Melissa, but that’s another topic), you will recognize the name Trista Sutter.  She is credited with being the first Bachelorette, and has had the most successful relationship to stem from the series, having wed the man she chose on the show and now lives happily with him and their 2 children (they just welcomed a new baby girl, Blakesley Grace, into their family last Friday, April 3rd). Well the luck keeps on rolling in for this well-deserved former reality star. Trista has partnered with eBags to create an exclusive line of eco-conscious diaper bags, called TristaBaby.

According to her website, “TristaBaby is dedicated to the design of show-stopping diaper bags that function beyond expectation and delight even the toughest fashion critic. Whimsical one-of-a-kind prints meet custom detailing with a touch of charm and a dash of flair”. The line features eight fashionable prints, such as the Tulip and Lotus Blossom designs (seen below):

Each bag comes with the following features:

• Organic hemp canvas exterior
• Liquid resistant nylon lining
• 5 interior pockets
• 2 interior elastic bands (for holding bottles)
• Front zipper pocket
• Oversized exterior pocket (with removable changing pad)

eBags is now offering them for 20% off, which brings the total to under $70. Wow, affordable and stylish?! Hopefully some of the luck, and the love, that Trista and Ryan have comes along with them!

This diaper bag is soooo cute! It looks so cool and urban.  You have the option of getting your name or your baby’s name embroidered on it.  Tote bags make for excellent diaper bags because they are durable and  can be tossed in the washer for easy cleaning.

Living in Los Angeles (and being a stylist for bands) naturally lends itself to a bit of a Rock n’ Roll edge. Nothing over the top mind you, but I am still one of the few people pulling into The Greek Theatre for a Kings of Leon show in a Volvo complete with two car seats. Which is why I love the Original Diaper Bag by Paulina Quintana.

                                                    Paulina Quintana - The Original Diaper Bag: $440

I wouldn’t normally recommend something which such a hefty price tag, ($440) but this bag is so unbelievably chic that it has a life long after your kid is potty trained. Not only does it come in nine hip colors including bronze, sky blue and silver, (pictured) it has the genius feature of an inside plastic lining that buttons right out! It’s also available in two newer styles; The Hobo Bag and The Saddle Bag, at lalaling.com. One of my MOST favorite L.A. kid’s stores so check out the rest of the site while you’re there. Hey – nobody said that just because you’re changing diapers you have to look like it.
