This earthshattering issue seems to be taking up more thought than it's worth 
.
I understand why a money belt or neck pouch is a good idea.
But for stuff like your bottle of water, your guidebook, your map, and maybe a sweater, how do you carry it all around in the most discreet manner possible?
I admit that on previous trips I have used plain plastic shopping bags, and/or sometimes just gone out not carrying anything (depending what I was doing that day).
But I would like a more permanent, stylish solution that will attract as little attention from thieves as possible, even though I won't be putting much of value in it. I don't really like the idea of a daypack, because it is after all on your back and thus harder to keep people away.
Any ideas? I've taken to scouring downtown Vancouver to see what people are using (mostly large purses or daypacks).

Their stores are full of Mossimo 'everything'. He does have nice things/designs though. Yea for clearance!
