Now I am one who likes sweets, but this is just tooo much.

This Cupcake Clutch by Nieman Marcus is a hot item, especially by bag lover’s in blog-o-land. What’s everybody saying?

The Latest Luxe says to go another route to curb that sweet tooth, gals!

The folks over at Team Sugar are divided about the topic. Must be all of those carbs!

Fasshonaburu suggests renting it from Bag, Borrow or Steal.

Sassybella updates us on what flavors are currently available. Apparently some purse freaks bought all of the strawberry ones.

The Glamazon Diaries thinks it’s cute. But then again, she wouldn’t mind if her friends bought her one. How many friends does she have?

Danielle at Delleicious gives her overview of the bag. But then, she IS a cupcake connossieur as she writes about them on her blog, going throughout the D.C., Maryland and Virginia areas looking for cupcakes. What does Danielle know about cupcakes anyway? (A lot, I guess!)

OK, here’s MKE Cupcakes, another cupcake connoisseur. What’s UP with these folks and their cupcakes conundrums?

Well, if Nieman-Marcus continues peddling these cupcake bags, what’s that going to do to our waistline – for our checkbooks? At a sweet price of over $1,900, I doubt if I could EVER afford one of those babies. I get a sugar high just thinking about it.

Would you buy a purse like that, or just let one of your FRIENDS give you one?

Sweet, Cakey Goodness – In a Nieman-Marcus Bag

My niece and I were chatting about this also and wondering where she could possibly find her next fashion/functional bag for her little babies. As searching goes, over at the Bag Snob, the fashionistas showcased these wonderful diaper bags that can double as handbags as well. Full of pockets and functionality inside, they also offer that true ultra-chic look on the outside. Now as you will see, the bags are waaay over-priced for the average family budget. Most of them well over $1500!! But, as one of the readers points out, the Sally Spicer site also offers designer diaper bags at a reasonable cost – - under $200. That’s more like it.

The bag(s) I used to carry in baby days are long gone. I went through a lot of them trying to find that right “look”. The one I stayed with the longest was a black, backpack style Eddie Bauer diaper bag that doubled as a sporty bag for me once the babies were out of that stage. After all, fashion is important to new moms as well, isn’t it?

What kind of diaper bag are you carrying now? Can it double as a fashion bag or will you ditch it right after your baby outgrows that stage?
