Fitness Fashion: Gym Bags

When going to the gym, you've got to pack up your gym clothes, shoes, iPod, toiletries... the list can go on and on. Hence, the gym bag. The awesome thing, is that because it's 2012 and fitness and fashion have finally merged, the gym bag can actually be cute!

I scoured in store and online selections of gym bags and in my opinion, the winner is the bliss bag by Lululemon...

At $128, it comes in menthol (above), dune and black. It's got great reviews, it has a million pockets for anything you could possibly need (phone, keys, emergency chocolate...) and it's adorable! 

There's also Adidas by Stella McCartney products, like this carry on bag at $150...

And if yoga is your thing, check out oGorgeous bags for your yoga mat.

There's the Beverly Bowtie Yoga Bag in creme ($129)...

The Sweetheart Yoga Bag in Peacock ($126)...

And the Pleated Pocket Yoga Bag in Silver Sparkle ($110)...

However, a handy gym bag doesn't have to break the bank. Check out these more affordable options.
