I love my Overland Equipment Donner bag.

-The fact it has the two side pockets to hold our fat camelbak water bottles
-the fact that I can wear the shoulder strap cross body.

but I need something a little bigger. What are my options?

I saw a Baggallini Hobo bag at TJ Maxx awhile back and am now kicking myself for not grabbing it. It has side pockets that can hold water bottles, another front pocket, and the inside is big and roomy. Strap was long enough to wear crossbody or on shoulder. And it was super lightweight.

I just won a JuJuBe BeHip on Ebay for cheap that I'm excited to get. Has the outside side (and insulated) pockets, but is deeper than the Donner. Might end up being too big for me for a daily bag but I'm thinking it might work well for all day trips or traveling when I usually carry more stuff.

I saw someone carrying what I think was this Patagonia bag at a carnival last weekend:

I thought to myself that it looked like a hipper alternative to an overland donner (which is what I am currently using).

I posted about a bag for Disney and other travel a few months back. The overland Donner was recommended here and it looked great but it wasn't quite big enough.

I ended up with this bag and have really liked it.

I used it for Disney as well as several other trips and around town especially when we are going somewhere outdoors or to kids activities. I really like the essy access front with the organization as well as the water bottle pockets and iPad sleeve. I have it in the green color.
