twitter inspired laptop bag

il 430xn76495576 twitter inspired laptop bagYeah, I’ll admit it — I like to tweet. For those of you in the technological Dark Ages, tweeting is the biggest phenomenon to hit social networking since Facebook. A ‘tweet’ is a 140 character message/update you can send out over Twitter, and people who are following your message feed will be able to read it.

Moving on from Twitter 101, check out this über-cool laptop bag I found at the Mareri store on Etsy. The little bird silhouette is so obviously paying an homage to the Twitter logo (or it is in my world, anyways), and the bag is padded to protect your precious hardware.

$50 US, available at Mareri on Etsy.

sumo women’s laptop purse

picture 24 sumo womens laptop purseI`ll be the first to admit that I don`t need another bag. Like any good girly-girl, I`ve got too many bags and too many pairs of shoes. My mother tells me that my obsession with shoes began at a very young age so it was only natural that when I got my first job as a teenager, it was at a shoe store at the mall up the street from our house. But the obsession, I think, isn`t so much about quantity as it is about quality. And by quality, I don`t mean outrageously expensive, hand-crafted, imported Italian leather. I`m talking more about utility. For years, my favourite boots were a pair of synthetic platforms that cost about $40. But they were so versatile, they were the perfect pair. And so it is with my new favourite bag. The SUMO women’s laptop purse is so stylish and utilitarian, it was love at first sight. And then, as I began to use it, I really fell hard. It`s sleek, which I love; it doesn`t look like a laptop bag at all. And inside, there`s a cozy, corduroy-lined pouch for my computer. It fits sveltely inside, with plenty of room to spare for all the other odds and ends I lug around town. This bag is big on the details (did I mention the corduroy-lined pouch that I love?) — it`s got a printed interior and the fuchsia stitching on the exterior is the perfect finishing touch. The bag itself is nylon but the straps are a soft, pliable leather. Exterior pockets provide easy access to your phone or iPod. It`s stylish for toting about town and super-functional for traveling with.
