Baby as accessory? Sure! Just look at Kate Hudson, Angelina Jolie, Madonna… (it helps if the baby is adopted and from a developing country, of course.)

Even if your baby isn’t quite the designer kind, you might want to check out GagaGear.com for some really cute (and organic cotton!) baby carriers.

From their website,

The Ellaroo Mei Tai is a versatile, sturdy, all-around baby carrier that can be worn on front, back, and side. Because the shoulder and waist straps are tied on however you like, the pack can be easily shared between parents of very different sizes. All color choices are reversible to solid organic canvas. Features of the Ellaroo Mei Tai include organic cotton batting, high-quality fabrics, and supportive straps and body piece for long-wearing comfort. It sells for $85.

Perhaps you need a dressier version for that holiday party? This 100% cotton Ellaroo Lightly Padded Baby Sling is beautiful in sky blue and chocolate and sells for $99.

Keep your baby close and still look like a fashion plate!  What an incredible holiday gift!
