Do you remember back in the 1980′s, when mom’s carried around “diaper bags” in pastel colors with teddy bears on them? The teddy bears were usually holding a bouquet of pastel balloons. Well, I am glad we have moved past that! Baby Bags are arguably the most essential accessory purchase for moms-to-be. We all know you carry them EVERYWHERE, so they have to be good. We love these fab four choices, all from Saks. From left to right: Armani, Burberry, Kate Spade and Gucci.

Beyonce and Jay Z’s precious baby girl, Blue Ivy, is sure to be the most fashionable tot in Manhattan. We think her coming out dress should be this $165 frock from Burberry. What do you think?

Long hair is so pretty on little girls…but many dislike having their hair brushed! Especially when there are tangles. The Knot Genie™ detangling brush was created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping that comes with brushing their child’s hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. You gotta love that!

We are so over plastic food containers. I truly believe heating up plastic in the microwave inserts hazardous chemicals into our food. Now that cancer has affected our family, I am becoming very weary of chemicals. One resolution we will keep in 2012 is freezing our food in glass containers, like these from Wean Green. They have little, tiny ones perfect for baby food! And we also checked out the sandwich-sized containers, too. We love how the tops snap on easily–and they can be removed before you place the containers in the microwave.

Hello Ladies! I stopped by Sears today and picked up the cutest new accessories from Kardashian Kollection. I am just loving my new handbag and leopard heels. I feel like leopard is a neutral this winter…it goes with everything. I will be wearing these accessories during our jaunt to Colorado after Christmas.  I got both the shoes and the handbag for under $75, which is a TOTAL STEAL! And I will be completing the look with a red cashmere sweater, which at $215 was a TOTAL SPLURGE. But accessories make the outfit, and I am excited to spice things up with these two new pieces. We think the Kardashian dolls hit it out of the park with this fun, on-trend Kollection. Well done, ladies! {No monetary compensation was provided by Sears or Glam Media for this post. The opinions expressed herein are those of the author and are not indicative of the opinions or positions of Sears.}

Every time we walk near the Ann Taylor store at Northpark Mall in Dallas, we are captivated by the glamorous photos of Demi Moore. There is glamour and sparkle to spare at Ann Taylor stores lately.

Ann Taylor wants to treat one AListBaby reader with this beyond gorgeous sequin shimmering scarf, which retails for $99. It is the holiday season, and mommies are doing everything for everyone…but it is time to treat yourself to something fabulous. Dusted with iridescent sequins, this skinny tulle scarf imparts a glittering dose of glam for endless styling options. 2” x 52”.

The holiday season=sparkling lights+fun times with family+pecan fingers+shrimp cocktail+packages to open! And we all know the earlier we get our shopping done, the more time we will have to relax and enjoy some hot cocoa in front of the tree with our loved ones! This is why we are so in love with Red Envelope holiday gifts! This website has a phenomenal selection of gifts for everyone on your list…husband, mom, dad, sister, friend or baby! I snagged this Meanings of Friendship bracelet for my sister! It is sterling silver with 18 colorful semiprecious stones! The bracelet has a five sterling silver strands that gives the piece a liquid, clustering effect. A great value for $79.99. And it even comes in an elegant red box. We are sold on this site for thoughtful, high-quality gifts. Also, we love how we can save time by skipping the mall and the post office!

AListBaby loves paper goods, and this time of year, we are on a mission for the perfect holiday photo card. We are loving this Boatman Geller Stella Cranberry card! Here are a few reasons why:

• The printing quality is fabulous! No bleeding ink.
• The photo looks crisp and clear.
• The envelope quality is nice and thick.
• The design is fresh–we have not seen this color combination before.
• There is a great photo upload feature on Fine Stationery’s site, so you can preview the card with a photo before you place your order.

Fine Stationery has so many fun photo cards and invitations! From birthday party invitations to Thanksgiving dinner invitations….we love the options! Check out Fine Stationery on Facebook and Twitter, too!

It is Friday! What a relief! It has been a hectic but fun week. I have to admit, I was in the mood for some aromatherapy this week. I am loving the calm feeling I bet after using this Basq Lavender Calming Oil. It is part of Basq’s “Disney: It’s a Small World” collection. I rubbed the oil on my pulse points and added it to my bathwater. It was soothing, and it smells great. It really helps to get me into sleep mode. This is also formulated to be great for expectant mommies and little ones. You can massage it onto baby’s feet or back before bedtime, and also place a couple of drops into baby’s bathwater. A relaxed baby is a happy baby, right?!

Mickey and Minnie just love bringing out their plaid in the wintertime. We were so excited to receive these 2011 Holiday Plaid Mickey and Minnie Mouse Plush toys in the mail this week! It is a signal that the holiday season is upon us, and it’s time to partake in all the joyous activities! That means family time, presents, cookies, and lots of laughter. You can check out the Disney Store for fabulous gift ideas for the little ones on your list. You can also check out the Disney “buzz” at this blog, and view timely gift ideas on the Disney Facebook page. All of this Disney talk makes me want to go watch Under The Sea or something! I love that fine crustacean band!
