Not me.

My name is Nicole and I’m a diaper bag-o-holic.

Phew! I feel better already.

Seriously people, I have a problem!

This weekend, I went to Baby Gap to look for a bathing suit for Sophia. Instead of doing that, I stared at a THIS bag for a good 20 minutes…

… until my diaper bag day dreaming was rudely interrupted by an impatient husband that just wanted to get the bathing suit and OUT of Baby Gap.

This bag isn’t on Gap’s website but luckily, I thought ahead. I snapped a picture of the label before my husband tore me away from it.

It’s the Bella Tunno Beautifully Classic Diaper Bag (pictured in grey and yellow) and it’s only $80! It’s made of cotton and linen and incredibly light weight. And it includes all the must-haves for any useful/stylish diaper bag: a removable changing pad, tons of pockets (8 in total, 4 in and 4 out) and coordinating zip pouch.

I want one!
