Laptop Luxury

Today's post is a request from a good friend who wants a fabulous work bag.  Her requests are simple: it has to fit a laptop, have an outside pocket for keys, and nothing loud.  Sounds easy enough right?  Let's see what I can find.

Also- who has Friday Foodday recipes to share?

Jessica Simpson, Cypress Bag, $80

I like the dual straps on this bag and the minimal hardware.  But it is only 14' long so depending on the size of the laptop, that would be something to consider.

Melie Bianco, Mariah, $88

This is a nice do it all bag, neutral color and on the inside the lining is cream with black polka dots.  I love a good surprise lining.

17 Coakley, Travel Tote, $206

OK bear with me, I know this is way over the TCB budget, but this request OKed it so look away if you must.  This bag has great pockets and its 17' so it could fit any sized laptop and then some.

Nunzia design, Sophia, $62

I like this bag because it has a removable laptop sleeve, though, it is a bit summery.

Heritage, Women's black leather tote, $67

I really like this bag.  It's no-nonsense design makes it functional and not flashy.  It has a removable laptop sleeve and great pockets to store your phone, business cards, etc.

A functional laptop work bag can be tough to find for us fashionistas.  Sometimes you can find what you're looking for at a name brand store like Nordstroms, but I find you may want to broaden you normal search and look at luggage stores as well.  Overstock also has a great selection.

Be fabulous today.

How to Pack for Thanksgiving Travel

As we all travel to our family and friends homes this Thanksgiving, most of us will be doing over-nighters which means packing.  Generally this is a 3 or 4 night trip so nothing epic, but still you don't want to use your giant tote bag either.

Today we will talk about fabulous suitcases fit for flying, busing, driving, or however else you may be getting to your destination.  Tomorrow I will feature what to wear to Thanksgiving dinner....think elastic!

Vera Bradley, Large Duffel in Hope Garden, $60

Some people have a severe aversion to Vera but love her or hate her this duffel is the BEST carry on in the world because you can shove it under your seat on the plane if the overhead storage runs out.  And let me tell you from experience, it's ultra-durable!

Rockland, Giraffe Pink, $29

Feeling sassy? Try this rolling duffle bag!

Lesportsac, Medium Weekender in Twinkle, $73

SO many pattern options to choose from, this bag will never be mistaken for someone else's!

Overstock, International Traveler Shiny Dot, $79.99 

If you REALLY need a roller bag I just love this one.  The handle is curved too so its easier to maneuver.
