Need suggestions please!

I need to find a diaper bag. I have 2 kiddos (14 months and almost 5 years) I would like it fairly big (wide not necessarily deep) and I would like it to be pretty and look more like a purse. I'd like to hang to have the ability to hang it on my stroller. I really want it to zip open/close at the top and not have a flap closure. And a big one for me is to have bottle pockets on the exterior of the bag. (Water bottles because my baby doesn't use a bottle and I want them for water or a sippy cup.) Is there a bag like this out there for under $100?? I will be the only one using the bag and I don't think I want leather.

I have a small Ju Ju Be backpack which I love but use it for a purse and end up carrying an ugly bag to hold some small books, diapers, toys, spare clothes, sunscreen, etc.

Thank you so much if you got through my list. I appreciate it. I feel lost on these diaper bag websites and really can use the help.

Maybe the OiOi Hobo? Not much interior organization but looks more like a handbag and I think you would be able to fit water bottles in the 2 side pockets. You can find a used one on ebay or the babybags yahoo group for $100. OiOi also makes a larger bag, the hobo sack, but I've never seen one IRL to comment on it.

The FV Hana or Babymel Amanda might work as well. I love my Amanda for my newborn and 2 yr. old. Both are under $100 new.

Good luck!

How about a SkipHop (bunch that might work)? How about FV Lark, Lexie tote, or Sling tote? Or the Chester Style Shoulder Bag or Classic Tote? http://www.chesterstyle.com/index.php?cPath=2&osCsid=9eb7041d5338754945ddccf4f3a0214f
