you're going to think i'm insane. i love a fanny pack. no seriously. i have a fanny pack, that i wear and love.
no, no, not the kind seen on matching couples at the amusement park (even though the above photo was taken at disneyland-try and ignore that, as i continue to try and convince you).
but this fabulous custom made one:
it's so excellent, i tell you. i can put keys, money, driver's license, credit cards AND my phone in it, and be out the door. no hands. hands free.
the one i have was made by my friend and fabulous maker of luxe leather bags, stephenie
hammitt. but i've had my eye on these gucci versions:
i must hop in here and tell you, i've seen prada's version of this. and....it's no bueno. it looks like the fanny pack 'don't' above but with the little prada logo tag slapped on. the louis vuitton version. no. it just doesn't translate like this one.
maybe it's that this gucci print has a bit of a retro feel. a bit 80s.
(you know, the more i look at this one, i think it's a fake)
some of you may be reading this with eyebrow raised. but this is chic i'm telling you! it's chic and completely efficient. just don't wear it with your matching running suit.

and btw, he'll be loving the fact that he can hand you the wallet and hotel key and be sans hands.
i think a gucci one, looks preppy. no?
emporer and his new clothes stuff.
Sometimes when I'm not feeling the waist thing I throw it over one shoulder and keep the pockets in the back.
It's super cute!

the over the shoulder thing, doesn't this just make it a regular bag?
that sounds so funny to say/think. it's true! I have 2 toddlers. I need hands free & need to be chic at the same time! I am so with you on this one! I am all abt Gucci & have NEVER thought abt the fannypack! You rock!
it's a slippery slope so you have to carefully navigate way through those early years of motherhood!
P.S. The biggest problem I have with them is the word "Fanny"... I mean, can it get any worse than that??? Well, unless your name is Fanny... then I guess, well --- that's worse : /
i had her make me that silver bag. she thought i was crazy. but i so love it.
and ya, "fanny"? maybe "toukas tote". 'fanny' is like the word 'bosom'. (now i sound like beavis and butthead.)
ps. i'm rooting for you in the domino contest, your room is gorgeous! xo
We weren't allowed to carry backpacks at my all girls school (they thought we'd have back problems) so we carried our pens and essential stuff around in north face fanny packs worn across our bodies as purses, with the actual pack on our back.
I still use my north face one when I go to my University's football and basketball games. Love not having to worry about having one too many drinks and leaving my purse somewhere. :)
