My new project!

So, I need a good, stylish bag for my camera and lenses, but woe is me, they are very pricey.  Ranging from $100-$260 for a cute, descent-sized one that can also hold a wallet, lip balm, and car keys.  A simple camera bag just doesn't cut it when you're out and about trying to also carry your purse on the side.  Plus, the lens covers, chargers, and sometimes extra memory cards can't be slipped into back jean pockets for precautions.

Here are some pretty fresh ideas from Stylish Camera Bags to inspire anyone to make one and get ideas sparking in those creative minds of yours.  I for one, want one that can organize too.  Also there are quite a bit of options for more camera bags at Tip Nut for smaller cameras; some DIY specifics over at Jen and Steve's dot Com , Live Laugh Eat, and Lil Blue Boo for a tutorial on an interchangeable, padded insert.

Here are my top three DYI inspirers:

Check out the sites too and make your own unique camera cases or bags.  I for one, start tomorrow(when I feel better) on my search for the perfect bag I can utilize for such a personal cause and fulfill my endeavor for simplicity and cuteness while photographing.
