Heidi Klum has just given birth to a precious baby girl last November 30, 2009. They named her Lou Samuel. This is the fourth child for the supermodel, her third with husband Seal.

Heidi and her kids have been spotted just about everywhere, doing everything from toy shopping, malling, and just recently, skiing on the slopes of Aspen.

How does she handle all those kids at once?

Well, as you can see from these pictures, having a nanny (or two) is a great help. Not in these pictures is Seal, who also does his daddy duties in taking care of the kids. And if you look closer, Heidi makes sure that she has both hands free by keeping her things in a neat little crossbody carryall.

A crossbody purse is the choice purse for super mom Heidi Klum. Even when she’s head to toe in winter gear, she’s got baby Lou Samuel warm and safe in her arms. Strolling in the mall with hyperactive little kids doesn’t daunt her, because she can hold her little one’s hand.

We’ve found some more fashionable yet mom-friendly crossbody purses that are similar to the small and sleek black one that Heidi Klum uses:

Accessories in animal prints or exotic textured leather always do a come back every fall season with the design interpretation varying from year to year. Tasteful items in python, croc, ostrich, and the like materials appear every year without a miss.

If you are a cost-conscious fashionista, it would be wise to simply invest in classic pieces that will last through the years, but will still keep you in fashion lest the trend arises once again.

A good item to purchase would be the Tory Burch Dena Python Messenger.

Not to fret. Tory Burch did not kill a python to come up with this one. The material is actually made of printed suede. The python print combined with the gold elements (hardware and logo medallion) make the bag look exotic, bold, and ultra sexy. Suffice to say,  that wearing this bag will definitely give you personality, and attention to boot.

Inside the Tory Burch Dena Python Messenger

The interior is equally striking. The medallion and python trimmings on the pockets stand out against the plain base. Equipped with an adjustable and detachable strap, you’re then at liberty to use it as a clutch, a shoulder bag, or a crossbody.

Priced at US$450, the Tory Burch Dena Python Messenger may not exactly be an easy-breezy buy. But with its classic shape and design, you can count on this bag to go a long way, blending in with the trends easily, and giving you your money’s worth.

Botkier released its first collection back in 2003, but the brand has immediately sky rocketed to fame with a cult following that covers top Hollywood celebrities. This is clearly evidenced by the numerous pictures posted online showing celebrities sporting a Botkier bag.

Case in point, here’s one celebrity who loves wearing Botkier:

If you ask me, I would say the reason behind the patriotism for Botkier is quite simple: Botkier offers casual chic and fashion forward looking bags that fill all, if not, most of the practical requirements a busy woman looks for in an everyday bag.

The latest to hit the shelves this season is the Botkier Noa East/West Satchel from the designer’s Holiday/Resort Collection (shown above).

A frontal view of the Noa East/West Satchel tells you of a basic satchel made with luxurious leather, characterized by clean lines and quality workmanship.

However, what impresses me is the view from the side, as it shows you that this piece offers something more than the usual. The unique gathered effect done by folding/pleating the sides inward adds a distinct flair to the bag, proving once again why Botkier bags are such a hit among celebrities.

The Noa East/West Satchel can be worn as a crossbody bag with the adjustable third (3^rd) strap, or as a tote using the two (2) top handles. Available in Black and Natural, you can purchase the Botkier Noa East/West Satchel at Zappos.com
