Stylish Tote for a mother of two!

"About to become a mama to two! My current diaper bag is cute, but is really a beach bag that doesn't close. I need a stylish tote that is more functional and can carry diapers, a changing pad, all my baby essentials and NOT look like a diaper bag. Designer bags I generally love: Balenciaga, Celine. I hate bags that have big labels. Subtle and edgy, but functional and easy to carry around. And I don't want to worry about it too much... so I set the budget because I want to make an investment, but I don't want to have to worry about putting the bag down on the floor while I chase my kids around. Thank you!"

New Job

"I'm starting a new job on Monday and I need to make some key purchases to get my work wardrobe started. It's a trendy place but it is a luxury brand with a lot of client interaction so I need to look professional, while still looking young and hip. Any thoughts? I probably need to get some accessories and shoes too."

School Event

"I'm going to a school event soon and am in need of a dress! The dress needs to be modest because it is a Christian event. Though the event isn't formal, it isn't casual either. The rules for the dress is that the dress cannot be strapless, and if it does have straps, they must be at least 2 inches thick. The length of the dress must hit no shorter then 2-3 inches above the knee. I am about 5"1 and plan on wearing heels. Thank You!"
