Most ladies, looking for unique and stylish laptop bags, are using a normal purse for their laptops. The one major drawback is (normally) the durability of the purse. It does not always last very long …as it is not made for heavy duty work, like carrying a laptop.

Luckily there are plenty of fashionable ladies laptop bags to choose from today. They double as a purse …and you are guaranteed to find something that meets your style and personality.

A laptop bag is not just about carrying your laptop safely around, but it also says something about you.

Here are few useful tips when looking at ladies laptop bags:

• An obvious one …but still important to mention, is to get to know the various laptop bag styles available to you.
• When looking at ladies laptop bags …consider the main use. Will you be traveling a lot? Is it functional and does it match your personal taste?
• Size matters -> Make sure your laptop fits the laptop bag.
• Look at laptop bags with enough space for all your accessories and offer quick access pockets for your phone, documents, tickets, etc…
• For added peace of mind, get a water resistant bag. It will come in handy for the times you do find yourself outside in the rain.
• Something that gets overlooked most of the time is the weight of the laptop bag. Choose wisely and make sure the bag does not weigh more than your laptop.
• Lastly …see your laptop bag as an investment. Make sure you are happy with the laptop bag’s warranty.

Best of all, which I absolute love, is the ladies laptop bags available today do not look anything like laptop bags. This is great from a safety point of view. No more “advertising” to the world when carrying your laptop around…

…And as an added bonus, they serve a dual purpose. It is a purse too.

Merry Christmas Everyone …Wishing you a blessed day with family and friends.

Now, if you are like me, I still need to do some last minute Christmas shopping for a few friends and family members. I think it might be a bit too late to go and brave the shopping malls.

Who needs the stress anyway…

Amazon Gift Cards (affiliate link) are the perfect gift idea for family and friends.

It is convenient …takes the stress out of shopping, it is immediately available and somewhat different and more exciting than your typical store gif cards.

So, I am about to go and order my gift cards. You better order your Amazon Gift Cards (affiliate link) before Christmas.

Happy Holidays,

Charlie

What do you think of this e-pad laptop bag? I must say that I am a bit curious to try it out.

My laptop tends to get very hot and is very uncomfortable on my lap.

So, this might just be my answer…

Not sure if I will want to take it outside in public, because it looks hideous.

The E-Pad is functional and a great idea. I just hope they will work on the styling next.

This bag is perfect for your 15′ inch macbook …Plus you can pack your iPod and iPhone as well. (Don’t know why you need an iPod, if you have an iPhone.)

Each Knomo bag has a unique ID. You can register your bag online. You can be easily tracked down in case you loose your bag (I really hope not).

I personally will not go for this bag. It is stylish, but also conservative. And this bag is more suitable for men (in my opinion).

The price tag does not justify the cost of the bag. You can get less expensive laptop bags that are far more stylish.

This bag will be perfect for you, if you like a quality – “conservative” – stylish bag.

Please leave your comments below and tell me if you like this bag.

Thinking of going DIY on your laptop bag? Have you ever considered making your own laptop bag?

It is not that difficult to make your own laptop bag. You can be assured that the bag will be one of a kind…

…But you need to keep a few things in mind before you go this route.

You will probably not want to use your self made laptop bag, if you plan to do tons of traveling. First of all, it simply does not offer the same amount of protection and security.

A DIY laptop bag is perfect for carrying your laptop to your favorite.

How do you use your self made laptop bag?

It is Christmas time again and the new year (2010) is just around the corner. I can’t believe the year went by so quickly. Everyone is thinking about how the new year is going to be different.

All the goals we want to achieve.

I certainly hope and believe it is going to be a great year next year. (I think I said the same thing last year.)

This is also the perfect time to look at ladies laptop bags. It is definitely a great way to start 2010.

Now is the time to do your homework. There are some great deals out there. We all know the real bargains are in January and February, when everyone wants to get rid their excess stock.

But you don’t have to wait that long …There are some great deals online. You just need to shop around and know what you are looking for.

An important tip: Choose a design and style that are timeless. I am not saying you need to keep the bag for 20 years. Who knows what laptops will be like that far in the future? Just make sure you will not get bored with the laptop bag easily.

Unsure which one of the many ladies laptop bags to choose from?

No worries …You can do all your research online.

Amazon is a great place to start, because you can see…
a) what bags are popular,
b) what other people are saying about the bag and
c) you can even see what other people are buying.

Another great way to do your research is by doing a twitter search for the laptop bag that you had in mind. There is a community out there and they will tell you everything you need to know.

It is so easy these days to do your shopping online.

But …You must still do your due diligence (do your homework before you buy something).

Here are 7 Quick Due Diligence Pointers:

1. Make sure the laptop bag is fit for purpose. If you travel a lot get something made for traveling. If you just want something to carry your laptop around with, then get something small and cute.
2. This is an obvious one, but make sure your laptop will fit in your bag.
3. Don’t forget the main purpose of the laptop bag …To protect your laptop! Get a bag that has good padding in protection inside and outside.
4. If safety and security are a concern, especially when you travel, then get a laptop bag that can lock. You have no idea how many laptops get stolen out of bags with out the owners even knowing about it.
5. Still on the topic of traveling. Get a bag that is TSA approved. It makes check-ins at the security gate so much easier.
6. Get a bag that is durable. Something that will last you a while. Be prepared to pay a bit extra for quality. Never compromise style and design
7. Choose a laptop bag that you will be happy with 3 years from now and make sure the bag is comfortable to carry.

All of the best with your online shopping for ladies laptop bags. I trust the info gives you some direction and clarity on where to start and what to look out for.

Also check out one of my previous posts on the Mobile Edge Komen Paris Backpack Black – Ladies Laptop Bags. This is a very popular bag and might just be the perfect bag for you. (Please note, to be aligned with the new FTC rules …The link in the previous post is an Amazon affiliate link. Feel free to go directly to Amazon and do a manual search for the Mobile Edge bag.)

Enjoy the festive season.

The Lady Lindy from Bobarra is one of the most elegant bags I’ve seen in a long time: really simple lines, but with a touch of flair via the scalloped trim. Plus, it’s checkpoint-friendly. Can’t get better than that!

I’ve been watching The Tudors series on CBC. Up here in Canada, the season just finished and I’ve been wondering how I might start working more brocade, puffy sleeves, jeweled head pieces and snoods into my wardrobe. Luckily, I have found the perfect bag that Catherine of Aragon or perhaps her daughter, Mary would carry. Elegant and stylish without being over the top – a bag fit for a queen. I’m referring to the Lady Lindy laptop bag from Bobarra. Andrea from Bobarra was kind enough to send over one for review.

When I first unpacked the Lady Lindy, I was struck by two things. One – the unusual fabric pattern. When carrying it, I’ve had a number of people say “Great pattern – what is that, fleur de lis?” Then they look closer. “It’s frogs! Frogs!?”. Yes, frogs. I have the “Charlotte” pattern (named after the delightful southern city in North Carolina; Bobarra also has several other more traditional fabric patterns if you’re not a ranidaphile). From a distance, it looks like an elegant, slightly Tudoresque fabric – but up close, whimsical frogs. Very clever! The second visual aspect of the bag that really stands out are the scalloped top edges. I’ve never seen this is a laptop bag before and to me, it really takes the finishing to a whole new level. Again, sophisticated with a touch of whimsy.

Check out my full review of the Lady Lindy from Bobarra.

It is the first time I have heard of the Bobarra line of laptop bags. They make some great Kindle covers, which you can check out @ Amazon.com.

Anyway, if you are looking for a laptop tote to take with on your travels, then this looks like a great option.

I really want to get your feedback on this bag. So please leave your comments.

It

all sorts of wonderful destinations. Even though it is the festive
season, there are a lot of us wanting to take our laptops with us on
holidays.

(We must all be crazy or something.)

I have seen
a lot of questions raised on the internet about the airline carry on
rules. People are still wondering if they are allowed to carry on their
laptop with them.

The answer is very simple. Yes, you can…

You
are allowed 2 items as a carry on (1 bag and 1 personal item). You need
to make sure that your bags meet the size, weight and storage
requirements. Simply check the rules online, at the specific airline’s
site that you will be traveling with.

You can check a nice
summary of all the carry on rules per airline at
http://www.bagking.com/airlines/airlines.html. There is also a link to
each airline for more information about the carry on rules and check-in
procedure.

Now …as you can see there is simply no need to
stress. You can definitely take your laptop and your favorite ladies
laptop bag with you on board.

Let me know if you found this short and hopefully informative post helpful.
