Baby Bag Turned Career-Girl Swag

jen — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:08:33 +0000

Hopelessly lost dragging around an ocean of over-stuffed arm candy? Seeking “multi-tote syndrome” salvation? The answer’s easy ’cause Rock N Moms does all the dirty work for you. Chic looking diaper bags are the latest domestic accessories re-purposed as career carry-alls. So now, you can pack it like a pro, and cut down on the fluster your morning commute causes. They’re a far cry from the mostly mundane, usually leather briefcases that leave little room for more than a laptop. I’m a fan in particular of their Jett’s Red Skull Tote. The 12x15x4 plastic-coated fabric bag boasts over 12 compartments and an awesome amount of extras. The pacifier pouch is the perfect place to store a pillbox or compact. And it even has an insulated [water] bottle holder, which saves my steno pads from sogginess and condensation. I’ve managed to make use of every single facet except the changing mat and stroller straps. The stoplight red exterior gives it that power color punch, while the subtle skull design remains edgy without being in your face. It’s not only my portable personal assistant but my purse as well, making it my solo shoulder mate for the day. *Disclaimer: Take charge ‘tude not included.

Chinese New Year: Year Of The Crocodile

While, I’m disgusted by the idea of crocodile farming, I’m all in favor of this Lux de Ville “Rebel” faux croc bag. With the kiss lock closure and a serious amount of metal, it manages to maintain all the bite of a real bag without harming any of the fierce freshwater reptiles it resembles. This white hot accessory instantly ups you to risk-taker status. So, go shead and premiere it post Labor Day – I dare ya.

Chinese New Year: Year Of The Cheetah

Not to sound catty, but I’m a strictly black bag kind of girl. That is, until this heart stamped cheetah purse put the pressure on my rotten cheatin’ heart. And so, I strayed. A small leap from leopard print, this Rock Rebel accessory is adorable and dainty, yet not too fussy with its faux fur and matte vinyl trim. You know what they say, “Anything worth having is a thing worth cheating for.”

Picturesque In Pink

Ever since I ascended into my tween years, I haven’t really been a fan of the color pink. In contrast, I do exhibit most of the girly girl stereotypes – loving lipsticks and liners, living for shopping, and willingness to die for the perfect pair of shoes. I just couldn’t seem to separate pink from prissy. But this tattooed duo from Rock Rebel has put pink back on the color charts. These glitter bombs add the perfect punch to any outfit. Sass up cocktail attire or blow the boring out of your everyday denim. Struggling to resist the sparkly vegan vinyl of the Winged Rose Headband and matching True Love Wrist Clutch, I’m finding them less out of place and more in good tatse. Despite Katy Perry’s words of wisdom, I’m suddenly and unexpectedly all for this glittery get-up.
