Good Grief, Charlie Brown! When I saw this post, written on our sister blog Luxist, I thought, "Is this really necessary for life?" And then I did my lamaze breathing and took the stick out of my...eye... and thought, "No, of course not. That is why it was on the luxury blog." And being the huge celebrity whore that I am, I was able to relax once more and enjoy life. What am I talking about? I am talking about Gwen Stefani's baby carrier. It is very fashionable, and has a brown leather trim. That's right. I hope Kingston doesn't spit up on it or have a diaper leak on it. But, maybe Gwen has one to match every outfit! Could be! The Gucci slings only cost $760.
Unfortunately, nobody sent me one to test, so I cannot write a product review, but as accessories go, this makes Gwen's baby look smashing. And Gwen doesn't look too bad either.
Let me ask you something that I have been thinking about recently: If you had a chance to live how the other half live (I know there are fewer than half of the population out there with that kind of disposable income, by the way), would you be tempted by this baby sling? Or is it just outside the realm of your imagination?
I think I fall into the category of, "I simply cannot imagine." I also can't look at this without thinking of the multiples of homeless people I passed daily in Ottawa, Ontario, last week and how much food that sling would have bought.
p.s,, Confidential to Gwen: Stacey and Clinton would tell you to lose the tunic already.

thordora said...Not to mention that it's ugly as sin, and resembles the couch my parents had in 1979.
Somethings I'd get if I had the money-neat dresses on Babywit, that sorta thing. Otherwise-nope.
Plus, if you're famous, don't you get half of that garbage as freebies anyway?

Amanda. said...My kids were toted around in a hand-me-down Baby Bjorn so a brand new anything is out of my realm of imagination... nevermind a Gucci anything.
Still, Gucci smucci. That carrier is ugly. Perhaps something in a Prada or Coach would be more attractive. $760 to Gwen is like $1 to the rest of us so it isn't like she splurged on it and like the pp said, she probably got it for free in baby swag gift bag.
At least she isn't using the $760 carrier on a chihuahua. Now that is ridiculous.

ann adams said...I don't think I'd change that much. I could probably justify a new van and I'd own instead of rent a house.
Other than that, no. I'd have to change the person I am completely and I don't see that happening.

Jennifer said...Nope, that just seems plain silly. Lots of luxe baby items I WOULD want if I had the $$ but that is just not one.
Thordora is prob. right - betcha she got it free anyway.

hahame said...omg, i hate designer crap...tacky, ugly, vain. like "oh, look at my gucci. see, it's a gucci. you can tell it's a gucci because this is what gucci looks like. it has the gucci logo all over it. doens't it look great? i love gucci, can you tell? nothing is too good for my baby."
i think it would be hot, as in temperature. and yes, anything brown is just ugly usually. it looks like brown plastic. seriously, it's great you got rich and all and get paid ridiculous amounts of money for what you do, and i'm sure you make charitable contributions, but it's really disgusting to flaunt it.

Lea said...Won't the baby get too hot in that thing, anyway? Gucci leathers don't breathe. To think I worried about Baby A getting too hot in our basic cloth Bjorn!
Yeah. It's ugly. But Gwen is cool. And at least her baby is safely snuggled and restrained...unlike some other celebrity babies....

Mama C-ta said...I just like seeing babies being worn but I'm not a fan of Gucci. And not a fan of spending that much on a baby carrier when all of my favorites combined which in my mind look much cooler and hold baby in a more natural position, and could never add up to the cost of that one.
But on the other hand I rather see a $700+ baby carrier than stroller which are everywhere in my neighborhood. I don't think it's any different.

Catherine said...Hey out there!
I'm a stay at home mommie with two little girls that I love to dress in high quality, trendy, up to the minute outfits! I think mom's know that children's clothing need to hold up over a million obstacles! Hundreds of washings, tea parties and playtimes! I really love brands like, Kate Mack, Ave. Blu, Baby Nay and Patricia Ann Designs. I found a wonderful store with these designers and more at SandBoxCouture.com
