I was going to vote for the brown Behave, because brown looks cool paired with black. But that KS is too great to pass up. Wonderful solution to get both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-866152 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 17:49:06 +0000 goldenpig 866152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky, I hope your daughter feels better quickly, that you and the baby stay healthy and that you all can get some rest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-866038 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 13:42:08 +0000 cobaltblue 866038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Logging in but with mind in a haze from being up and down with a sick toddler all night, but yay for Joy and KS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-866010 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 09:49:15 +0000 Hil 866010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love no.6 and I love the Kate Spade! You're going to be a stylin' new mama!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-866007 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 09:16:15 +0000 goldenpig 866007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Denise, you enabler you! I could be TOTALLY set for my diaper bag days with the KS black and white bag, a brown BeFab and a silver or white BeHave. But I'm going to wait and first see how the KS one works out and how much I need to pack, before considering the JJB's (also to give DH some recovery time after telling him how I bought this KS one!) He just rolled his eyes and said "Kate Spade? Sounds expensive." I had previously shown him the JJBs online and he was not a fan of the slouchy shape and wrinkly leather--he likes a lot more sleekness and structure (same thing happened when I bought slouchy ankle boots recently--he thought they looked too wrinkly). </p> <p>Ornella, thanks for the link--that was an interesting read! I wonder if she'll end up liking that solution long-term of using a MK leather tote as a diaper bag. I'd be afraid to use my leather bags as diaper bags (although I do often carry some kid stuff in my purses now), just because bottles and sippy cups can leak and it's hard if it's not easily cleaned. I even ruined a diaper bag once (it was a Fleurville Lexie Tote, so sad) because the inside fabric got mold stains after a spill and it wouldn't come out even after machine washing.</p> <p>And Donna, I do think you're right, the black and brown darker colors probably will show more wear than the lighter colors, although the white may be more prone to marks/stains. At least the Earth Leather is supposed to be machine washable, which is a plus!</p> <p>MaryK, go ahead and start a pool! The odds go up with each passing day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865857 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 03:09:03 +0000 Day Vies 865857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Torn between the dark red and pewter ones shaped like hobo bags. I fear they may not be large enough so the larger dark red one would be my pick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865593 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 21:59:41 +0000 harmonica 865593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kate Spade was made for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865584 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 21:51:16 +0000 lyn* 865584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KS is fabulous!!!

I knew you loved Kate Spade. The dots will go so well with your wardrobe and can be a fab bag long after you don't need it for baby. Wishing you an easy delivery and healthy wee one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865491 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 20:03:35 +0000 MsMary 865491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG that KS is perfect for you! So fun!!</p> <p>I think we should have a betting pool for birthdate, time, and weight! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865468 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 19:39:14 +0000 DonnaF 865468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who can argue with Kate Spade? Talk about chic!!! But as a second choice, I like the vanilla/champagne bag for summer. I would want that pale color in pleather (vs. leather) anyway. Sometimes, the rich colors like brown don't look all that wonderful in pleather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865453 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:58:57 +0000 CocoLion 865453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad this worked out for you, and can't wait to see it in action! Are you sure you don't still need an unpatterned bag? The more I look the more I love the steel/lilac and champagne bags! This is something you will get A LOT of use out of, so even three diaper bags would get a decent CPW.</p> <p>(Big time enabler, sorry!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865399 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:03:49 +0000 bj1111 865399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that k/s is SOOOOOO you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865396 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 17:59:16 +0000 MNsara 865396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>excellent choice!

Happy ending. I love the Ks - of course- </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865360 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 16:08:26 +0000 goldenpig 865360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG Joy, I could kiss you! You know I LOVE Kate Spade, I didn't realize they made diaper bags. I saw this one (Deborah Dot Stevie) in black and white dots and it's love at first sight!!! I don't think I could find a bag that's any more me, don't you think? I can't wait to wear it with my polka dot skirt! And it will be the perfect diaper bag substitute for my Dotty purse.</p> <p>Here's a link with more pics and size:<br /> <a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446556174&#038;R=98689465838&#038;P_name=Kate+Spade+New+York&#038;sid=13D245595DF0&#038;Ntt=kate+spade+baby+bag&#038;N=0&#038;bmUID=jQHJAcn" rel="nofollow">http://www.saksfifthavenue.com.....ID=jQHJAcn</a></p> <p>It's pretty expensive--when I saw $398 I said no way! But then I found it on sale at eBags for $357 and I had $200 saved up in Paypal from all of my rebate cash backs (Mr. Rebates, eBates, etc). so it's about $150, plus another 12% off with eBates, so $43 off makes $107 out of pocket. Excuse the girl math, but it's worth it!</p> <p>As for the JJB options, I think you gals have me nailed there too. I do like the brown with zany zinnias pattern the best of all (#12/19). I actually don't have a plain brown purse (despite my big handbag collection) so it wouldn't be duplicating any of my current purses. I think it'll be a question of how much stuff do I have to pack for 3 kids. I'm a little concerned the Behave might be too small, so I may have to go with the BeFab. I may have to order both and see which one can hold the stuff I need (I tend to overpack which is why I have that huge BePrepared). I always buy my shoes/boots in color pairs (one black, one brown), so I think with one black/white and one brown diaper bag I'll be all set!</p> <p>Thanks for your help!</p> <p>ETA: Yes thanks Karie, my due date was yesterday! Still no sign of labor but I had a checkup and everything is fine with the baby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865341 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 15:43:32 +0000 bj1111 865341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my choice is strictly based on shape...i like the squarish befab. the u-shaped top of the other bags look dated, like a misguided hobo.</p> <p>anyway, the befabs look luggagey and i love taking trips! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865282 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 14:52:29 +0000 Beth Ann 865282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vanilla Champagne! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865243 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 13:19:06 +0000 Suz 865243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing Denise (CocoLion)!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865233 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 12:52:54 +0000 Anonymous 865233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you seen the diaper bags on the Kate Spade site?<br /> Of these I agree with Denise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865232 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 12:49:53 +0000 Karie 865232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the vanilla Behave if you want to use it as a purse afterwards. I like the vanilla for spring, but the gray is nice too. I think you have several black bags, so I wouldn't choose black. I think the Be Fab looks too big, it looks more like a diaper bag.</p> <p>Isn't baby due today?

I am not sure if I like the material in the darker colors. Do they have a red or blue? That'll be cool too. I like the one you own too, but hey, I love Lesportsac inspired patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865227 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 12:08:58 +0000 Raisin 865227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the be fabulous better. I'm not a fan of the shape of the be have. I would probably go black. That said, I'm not sure if the be fab is small enough, maybe it's fairly large too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865225 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 12:01:21 +0000 An 865225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My preference is Brown BeHave with teal lining. I love that you can machine wash them. I was planning to treat myself to a new bag for number 3 but I still haven't got around to that (7 months later!). Must get onto that!<br /> Your last week at work photos were amazing! Enjoy your last bit of being pregnant and very best wishes for the birth and settling in with your little one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865223 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 11:55:01 +0000 Scarlet 865223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see 12-14 the best with your wardrobe. So excited that you are almost there and amazed what stamina you have. By week 38 I started to feel just terrible. I think my body totally ran out of room. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865212 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 08:50:53 +0000 CocoLion 865212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am partial to the steel/lilac and vanilla/champagne bags for Spring! If you decide a light color would be troublesome, I'd go for the brown ones as shown in 12-14. This is entirely based on personal likes and colors that I like on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-purse-like-diaper-bag-style-color-should-i-pick#post-865199 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 08:06:02 +0000 rachylou 865199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brown Behave.
