Does anyone else love to drool over diaper bags? I used to love book bags in high school, and then for the short time between high school and motherhood I started getting into purses. At this point in time though, I only carry a diaper bag, no purse. And I almost never go anywhere without at least one kid (usually my youngest), so I don't really need a purse. I got a new diaper bag while pg with #4, but I'm totally itching to get another one now! Not sure that I will, but it's fun to look. Here is the one I have, except I have the pattern in the 4th picture.
Anyone have an awesome diaper bag yet? Or has anyone been drooling over them?

I bought this for $60 when Lacoste was having a huge sale earlier this summer. I love totes, and know that my husband would feel comfortable carrying solid black. I don't really like cute prints, as I see myself having a diaper bag double as my purse sometimes.
I'll probably get one traditional bag, but this is the one I would really like to use if it works out.

Me, too. I don't like cutesy baby bags. We do have a simple brown messenger bag that is monogrammed with our family name. DD#1 uses it for daycare. For simple out and about trips DD#1 has a Stephen Joseph cloth backpack. It's small and easy to clean. But with another coming I may have to cave and get a Vera Bradley. Lol.
Edit: A lot of my aversion to cutesy is DH carrying the bag around, too.

I had a huge Carter's bag for DD when she was first born. We also have a small black Eddie Bauer bag that is DH's for when he needs to take her out. Well, before she was potty trained.
I got a Petunia Picklebottom bag somewhat recently which is funny b/c she's been pottying for awhile, so I didn't really need the changing pad or anything. But I love the sippy pockets and it has a lot of room for toys and snacks without being overly big or bulky. I think it's a touring tote size.
My love for bags goes deep, so I might wind up getting another one after #2, but I'll try to be happy with what I already have.

I found this one on Pinterest and I love it and am going to make it for this LO.

My JJ Cole is the first really nice bag I've ever had. I always had plain back canvas ones before because I thought about dh carrying it. But he only carries it when I'm around since he doesn't take the littlest one anywhere without me (no reason to). When I was drooling over my JJ Cole he told me to get whatever pattern made me happy and that he'd carry it with pride, even if it was hot pink and shiny. lol Hot pink and shiny isn't really my style though.
I got dh an awesome book bag from Target a few years ago for Christmas (you'd be surprised at how much stuff the man takes to work with him sometimes!) that I'm totally jealous of. I may end up getting one of them. I have to wait for him to tell me the name of it though, I can't find it on the site.
Oh my gosh, while trying to find dh's bag on Target's site, look at what I found?!?! Oh man, I am drooling. If this had an outside water bottle pocket it might have ended up as my Christmas present.
But if money was no issue I'd get these,
