I was hoping I could eliminate the diaper bag and just use the MJ bag. That would awesome.</p> <p>@looch: Yeah, I carry around a lot of junk. I'm always in that "You never know" phase and end up carrying way too much. The bigger the bag, the more junk I fill it up with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-your-favorite-mom-handbag#post-81724 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:21:56 +0000 looch 81724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You guys carry a lot of stuff!</p> <p>I've got a teeny tiny pouch for a wallet, keys, sunglasses and my phone, a random chapstick and my train passes. Those bags might be too huge, but then, I've also got to account for DS's sippy and snacks....</p> <p>Another question is...can you easily run around on the playground with it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-your-favorite-mom-handbag#post-81722 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:18:57 +0000 Andrea 81722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: i think just about - not unless your wallet is really huge. i use the "french purse" LV wallet so it's not very big. i have all those things in my bag except for a notebook and snacks but i do still have lots of room left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-your-favorite-mom-handbag#post-81717 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:12:15 +0000 banana 81717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea: Ok! Let's see. I have my wallet (kinda big), a small notebook, some snacks for LO, water bottle, small makeup purse (holds a few lipglosses, compact, and mirror), iphone, blackberry, sunglasses, checkbook, and a few bills I have to pay. Do you think that would fit? =\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-your-favorite-mom-handbag#post-81677 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 13:24:56 +0000 anbanan15 81677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't used it yet, but I had a PBB clutch that I can tell is going to be my go to bag over the spring/summer months. It's surprisingly larger than I thought and will easily hold a cloth diaper or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-your-favorite-mom-handbag#post-81675 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 13:21:00 +0000 Andrea 81675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: you can tell me what you keep in your purse and i'll let you know if i think it will all fit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-your-favorite-mom-handbag#post-81670 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 13:19:22 +0000 banana 81670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea: How roomy is the Marc Jacobs crossbody? I like the way it looks but I'm afraid it'll be too small for me. I'm a pack rat when it comes to purses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-your-favorite-mom-handbag#post-81382 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 09:37:13 +0000 Ms.SK 81382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is a botique in SoHo that I stumbled upon that I think makes great bags. The ones I like are leather on the front and waterproof fabric on the back so they are cute but don't weigh as much as a full leather bag. I have back trouble so weight is always something I look for plus I have the shoulder issue as well. They also have a pocket on the front the perfect size for my IPhone.<br /> Here is a link to their website: <a href="http://www.highwaybuzz.com/store.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.highwaybuzz.com/store.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-your-favorite-mom-handbag#post-81370 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 09:25:31 +0000 mrs. wagon 81370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh please keep posting-- I have been DYING for a comfortable "mom" bag and have no idea what to get! It needs to be stylish enough since I'm taking it to work every day. I was using my brown Longchamp daily but it's not comfortable on my shoulder-- I have really small, sloping shoulders so the straps keep sliding off and the bag ends up in the crook of my elbow. </p> <p>I also can't wear crossbody because my boobs are too big and splitting them down the middle with a bag strap looks seriously bizzare and is uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-your-favorite-mom-handbag#post-81337 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 07:54:09 +0000 Andrea 81337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: yes, the percy is cuter because it's small but to hold a lot more things i went with the natasha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-your-favorite-mom-handbag#post-81335 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 07:51:56 +0000 looch 81335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: awesome, thanks for the link! I liked the Percy too, but the Natasha looks more substantial. The MJ website has Natasha in green and black too, so I'll have to think about it...I'd love to get the red! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-your-favorite-mom-handbag#post-81331 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 07:47:00 +0000 Andrea 81331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: wow, they have some bright colors now...for spring i guess!</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/marc-by-marc-jacobs-classic-q-natasha-crossbody-flap-bag/3058430?cm_cat=datafeed&#038;cm_ite=marc_by_marc_jacobs_%27classic_q_-_natasha%27_crossbody_flap_bag:273366&#038;cm_pla=bags:women:handbag&#038;cm_ven=Froogle&#038;mr:referralID=NA&#038;mr:trackingCode=A203F1CE-5BBE-DE11-9DA0-002219319097" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/marc-by-marc-jacobs-classic-q-natasha-crossbody-flap-bag/3058430?cm_cat=datafeed&#038;cm_ite=marc_by_marc_jacobs_%27classic_q_-_natasha%27_crossbody_flap_bag:273366&#038;cm_pla=bags:women:handbag&#038;cm_ven=Froogle&#038;mr:referralID=NA&#038;mr:trackingCode=A203F1CE-5BBE-DE11-9DA0-002219319097</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-your-favorite-mom-handbag#post-81328 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 07:43:09 +0000 looch 81328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I tried online, but I don't know what I am looking for, is there a name or model number to the bag that you've got? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-your-favorite-mom-handbag#post-81327 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 07:41:05 +0000 Andrea 81327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Have you tried Marc Jacobs?
