Besso Motorcycle Bag, $150
Kate Spade Saratoga Springs
Karolina Bag, $275.00
Belly Basics Messenger Bag
$86.00
Petunia Pickle Bottom Cucumber Roll
Shoulder Bag, $175
LeFashionista editors need your help! I’ll be having my first baby this June, and already, I’m looking for the perfect diaper bag. Celebrities are no help…they don’t seem to bother too much with diaper bags. So, after doing a little research myself, I have come up with some really cute options (see above).
However, here’s my problem: should I buy something cute that I like, or something that dad won’t be ashamed to carry either? Something designer, or something sensible? Or, should I just buy that big motorcycle bag that I’ve been ogling over, use it as a diaper bag, and then be able to use it after?
Also, let us know if you have a favorite diaper bag designer! Did your diaper bag become your purse, or did you carry one too? Help!

Dior Gaucho Denim/Leather Medium Saddle Bag
$1,180.00
www.eluxury.com
And now for something completely different…Dior’s Gaucho Denim and Leather Medium Saddle Bag! Like nothing else you’ll see for this spring, this western “gaucho” style is loaded with deatails. Metallic hardward, lambskin trim and squared pocket detailing make for a unique but hot look.
This fringe-less take on western wear may just be the hottest thing going into summer. This is definitely the bag for the girl that’s over metallics, done with wicker and ready for something classic but edgy.

Chloe Mini Leather Paddington Bag
$1,380
Marc Jacobs Stam Leather Bag
$1,150
Luella Luca Fringed Shoulder Bag
$995.00
Jimmy Choo Bronze Orpheus Large Hobo Bag
$750.00
“Couture” readers have spoken…boho is dead, and this spring it’s all about the streamlined and the shiny again. This spring its about details, easy classic lines and neutral earth and metallic tones.
Get yours before they appear in the rag mags on some celebrity’s arm. You can find these and more hot spring styles at www.net-a-porter.com.
We love the Jimmy Choo Large Hobo…the newer “hobo” shape is cute, almost bucket style, sleeker looking than the “bohemian” hobo’s.

Primp Thermal Bunny, $70
Teri Hatcher in Primp
Where in the heck did this soooo cute line come from? Seems like all of a sudden, the girliest of the girls in Hollywood are decked in cutesy tops and sweat sets from Primp. Unicorns, ice cream cones, fuzzy animals and more adorn their snug line.
But primp isn’t all about cutesy…some of their stuff is a little too “club-girl” look, but they also have some surprisingly elegant and chic casual styles. Check them out online at the ultimate celebrity shopping store, Kitson, at www.shopkitson.com.

Mischa Barton, Spring 2005
Gap Tunic
Old Navy Tunic
They’re baaack…seems like mall retail outlets have decided for us that tunics are still awesome. Now available in Indian AND Carribean styles, are tunics still a hot commodity, or are they SO last season?
I honestly can’t say I’ve seen any celebrities wearing them this season (even the pregnant ones!) despite the fact that they are totally comfy. However, they do give a kind of shapeless look, don’t they?
Oh well, let us know what you think…will celebrities start getting all tribal again with tunics and big beads for spring, or will this simply be a mall-girl look?

Wicker Frame Bag With Raffia Flowers
$1,800 by Dior
Last Tuesday Christian Dior opened its first ever boutique in India, with other luxury brands like Versace and Gucci expected to follow right behind. This is big news for fashion lovers in India, where business from out of the country has been restricted for so long. Other luxury retailers like Louis Vuitton, Fendi and Bulgari already have stores open in India, as their demand for luxury goods keeps rising.
In a country where most of the population can’t afford their $1,000 bags (but who can really afford them in America either?) maybe it’s a good sign that big name retailers are coming into the mainstream for India. At least now fashionistas in India can save a few rupee’s on tariffs, taxes and import fees.
No Dior store near you? Check out www.eluxury.com for hot new bags you can’t get just anywhere. Our Dior pick? This adorable Wicker Frame Bag with Raffia Flowers….so cute for Spring.

Joannie Rochette
Figure skating costumes are notoriously ugly…granted, they have to be comfortable and flexible enough to do a triple-axle in, but c’mon! Can’t we get John Galliano or Bagdley Mischka to design a cute skating leotard already?
In honor of the 2006 Olympics in Torino, I would like to nominate Canadian figure skater Joannie Rochette as best dressed figure skater. Her costumes are always totally cute and sassy–not at all what we are used to (think blue spandex and sparkles).
So Joannie, take a bow. Even if you don’t win the gold, you are a winner in our eyes. Way to go!

Lindsay, February, 2006
Grown-up but slouchy?
Lindsay, Spring 2005
Yikes!
Lindsay, Fall 2004
Starting to look classy…
Lindsay, Spring 2004
Ahh, the mistakes of youth…
In the very short amount of time that Lindsay Lohan has been in the Hollywood scene, she has pulled more image changes than Madonna. She’s tried every hair color under the sun and changed her body shape from healthy to sickly to sorta-healthy again (but she’s had a rough time, so we’ll give her a break).
While it’s not uncommon for new young starlets to make shameful fashion mistakes in their early career (see newsboy cap, striped camisole and gold ethnic earrings), is Lindsay Lohan really going back to her fashion no-no’s?
Case in point; February 2006, shopping in NYC Soho. The faded black jeans. The nautical print v-neck sweater. The giant black granny cardigan. The red scarf. At least her cleavage isn’t on display anymore, but quit taking fashion cues from the Olsen twins already!
The only thing working for this new look is the white carryall and boots. She totally gets points for those. Otherwise, we beg for the new and improved grown-up and sophisticated L. Lo back.
What do you think? Has Lindsay gone from slutty to chic and now to slouch…or is she on to something with this new look?

Jessica Simpson, From Brown to White!
Marc Jacobs Collection - Perforated Leather Brigitte
Leave it to Jessica to start yet another trend in fabulous bags…the perforated white Brigitte from Marc Jacobs. Classy and fun, as the old adage goes, you can carry this baby around until Labor Day.
So what do you think…is white alright? For me, white anything always gets dirty or dingy way too fast. But if you’re Jessica Simpson, you can afford to just buy a new bag when your white one gets dirty.
So there you have it…the hottest bag of the moment. To me, it kind of looks like a pampered pooch carry all. I liked her red tassled Bulga bag from last fall way better. But what do I know?
