What's So Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding?

Peace, Love, Understanding. Those classic words from Elvis Costello suddenly have new meaning, and are things we can never have too much of in this world. Share the sentiment with some hip new accessories and spread the brotherly (or motherly) love.

Peace is the word with this fabulous new Silver Peace Stroller Tote from Dante Beatrix ($100). These folks really know how to make a bag, and include just enough pockets to let it double as a purse. I take reusable coffee cups with me and they fit perfectly in the side pockets. One for my cup, one for Dylan's bottle. There's a cell phone pocket on back with a velcro closure, a larger pocket perfect for the kids' snacks, odds and ends or the day's mail. A zippered pocket inside gives you a private place to store feminine products or valuables, and two smaller pockets hold pens, lip gloss, and other small things. This roomy bag is my new favorite!

Let your child help spread the word about peace and create a better world. These cute Robeez Peace Shoes ($27.95) let them do it in style.


If all you need is a small clutch to carry the essentials - be it diapers and wipes or lipstick, keys and a cell phone - the Gold Heart Envelope ($28) from Dante Beatrix is the perfect accessory to help you feel the love. This cute pouch fits inside the strollerbag or another larger bag, or you can carry it on its own for an evening out. The gold metallic trim is right in style!
