I love weekends. I also love to travel. This is the perfect excuse to purchase and own a gorgeous weekend bag. Having done a lot of travelling, I can’t think of a better travel companion than a good looking, functional yet stylish overnight bag.
Forget dragging a heavy piece of battered old hand luggage from A to B, I want to travel in style, not look as though I barely made the train. If you like to travel light, yet still enjoy the feeling that you’ve managed to pack for all eventualities, the only thing that will do is the right large tote bag for the job.
There are plenty of designers on the market that design and manufacture some pretty awesome weekender bags, many of which look so good that it's a shame that they're not really practical for anything other than travelling with. Still, at least they'll more than make you look good on those days that you do decide to get away for a short break, or put in some work-related miles.
Travel bags are the perfect match for the woman on the move. They’re refreshingly spacious and cover all the basic needs that are part and parcel of a weekend away. There’s space for everything but the kitchen sink – and who wants to one of those with them on a wonderful short break?!

There are just as many men to cater to as there are women when it comes to choosing and buying the perfect laptop bag. For that reason we’ve checked out the best laptop bags for men as a means of making it an easier choice for those looking to buy one as a gift, or maybe you’re the man that needs a new messenger bag to haul your prized laptop around?!
We found quite a collection on the market, from rolling laptop cases to funky backpacks, designer bags and laptop briefcases. We narrowed it down to the most popular sellers, by way of checking out what’s hot (and what’s not!) as well as using our keenly developed sense of what makes a bag great, no matter what its purpose.
Our favorite few are featured below and they cover a range of sizes as well as designs. Generally we’ve gone for the masculine look, as we’re well aware that despite our leaning towards the fashionable and the chic, that’s not at the top of the list that a man would usually work from.
Men want function and features over styling and design, though we’re also aware that there are a few guys out there that do have a flair for a good looking messenger bag!
Belkin 15.4 Inch Messenger Bag
This is a great choice of laptop bags for men. It's highly functional, lots of features and it's also extremely stylish. The brown/light blue combo gives it at least enough appeal for the more fashion conscious men among us and it is a popular color choice. It contains a range of storage pockets and compartments, including a space for cards, iPods and/or other handheld gadgets, stationary and so on, plus there's a handy little grommet for your MP3 headphone cords.
Plenty of padding add to the security it provides and the fabric is shower-proof and tough enough to last through years of use. There's a carry handle and a comfortable adjustable crossbody strap, as well as an array of pockets located externally. Also available in a combination of other guy-flavored colors, this is a great choice of laptop messenger bag for the man that wants both a user friendly bag that will also look stylish ... in a totally masculine way!

There are some great examples of laptop sleeves on the market, and we know that our visitors want the type that look good, that pay attention to detail (i.e. if it says it’s for a 17 inch laptop, it should fit one!) and that they can use and work with for years to come.
Happily we found a small group of good looking laptop cases that will suit even the most demanding among us, not to mention a demanding day’s work or two. For most of us, our laptops need to last a little longer than our favorite tote bags and a good quality sleeve should help to both protect the computer and help to prolong its usefulness.
They’re an expensive piece of equipment and they certainly need the right level of protection when they’re being hauled from point A to Point B. A laptop case will go a long way towards making sure that a laptop is covered, so to speak, when in transit.
Some of the sleeves are simple yet effective, the type that you can slip over your laptop which then allows you to store it within the confines of your purse (supposing that it’s big enough). Others are a cross between a sleeve and a bag, coming with straps or handles that all but render them useless as being neat enough to slip into your tote.
We’ve chosen our top picks from the hundreds and (probably) thousands that are currently available. Most are available in sizes other than those displayed and all will keep your laptop covered in the kind of style that every woman should become accustomed to!
Laurex Laptop Sleeve With Handle And Shoulder Strap
As laptop sleeves go this one's a good looking example on the type that bridge the gap between needing a neoprene sleeve and wanting a laptop bag. It comes with both a foldable carry handle and an adjustable shoulder strap, which can be removed in the event that you want to turn it into a simple sleeve and pop it into your tote bag.
It's available in both the Hisbicus pink and Red Blossom and you can purchase it in a range of sizes: 15.4, a 15.6 sleeve and one at 16 inches. It's a neoprene manufacture, with a velvet lining, shower and spill-proof, as well as scratch resistant, plus there's plenty of protective padding all-round. We like the designs found on either one, and the fact that you can choose from among three different sizes - and of course it's well priced. Fun, stylish and professional, highly recommended.

Laptop Sleeve 15.6 Neoprene Case Bag
This one is very similiar to the previous product and it will comfortably hold and protect a laptop between 14" and 15.6". It comes with a foldaway caryy handle, which makes it more versatile and the bright, vibrant print and color is certainly eyecatching. We like this one because of the price as much as the design - at less than 20 dollars it's a great bargain buy.
It has a scratch resistant inner lining and and solid, reinforced two way zipper for added security and easier access. Naturally padded due to the neoprene fabric and of course it also provides protection from light rainfall. A good looking laptop case without the high price tag, a great budget friendly choice for the professional on the go.

As with the previous products the material is a padded neoprene, scratch and stain resistant and it will also help to prevent any damage that can be caused by unwanted or unexpected moisture.

Every woman needs a makeup case, which is why we’ve had an enjoyable afternoon browsing around the dozens and dozens of cute cosmetic bags on sale. Believe us when we say that we found just as many reasons to buy these small but perfectly formed mini-totes as we would the more conventional sized ones.
Despite the fact that our men folk simply don’t get ‘it’ … a bag (to us) is a bag. A cosmetics bag deserves just as much thought and consideration as our day tote, our work bag, our shopper’s and laptop bags. It’s a girl thing!
We found some great looking makeup bags, many were inexpensive, unless they had a designer name attached and all were in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. We discovered a leaning towards the clear plastic type but that’s for another article, another day.
In this instance we were looking for the ones that are chic and functional, they type that you withdraw from your normal tote and your friends or colleagues instantly want one or at least want to know where you got yours from. And that too is a girl thing!
Nick And Nora Three Piece Mini Dome Cosmetic Bag Set
How cute is this little collection of cosmetic bags?! They're attractive, eye catching and they're unique and, between the three, you get plenty of room for storing your makeup and utilising the trio for your (many!) different totes. The smallest one would be a great makeup bag for your work tote or an evening out, the larger one good for travelling and being on the move, and the middle sized bag a good 'in-betweener' choice.
Each one has a nylon lining with a coated outer fabric that displays (in this case) a collection of whimsical owls. There are other choices available, Pink Roses, Bird Cages and Cherry Blossoms to name a few. Anyone is appealing, functional and the smallest is good enough to be used as a place to store your loose coins or other small possessions. A gorgeous trio of mim purses for makeup ... and popular too.

Stone And Co Paisley Garden Hanging Cosmetic Bag
This is a striking hanging cosmetics bag, good looking and great for home use or for when you're on the road. Even loaded it rolls up neatly enough and the hanger also allows you to hang it up and have a clear view of what you've got stored and where. It's large enough to contain both makeup and toiletries and well made enough to stand up to lots of use.
We love the bold paisley print and the pink trim and the interior wallets/pockets are user friendly and easy to keep clean. Eack pocket has a zippered closure and we thinks it's a great makeup bag for less than 20 dollars. Bright, functional and plenty of miles in this one.

Who doesn’t love cute bags? They’re adorable, luscious and fun. They’re generally quite trendy and usually guaranteed to have your friends asking you where you bought yours. They’re a world away from the average one color tote bags; usually they’re splashed with color or full of bling or endearing designs.
I love wandering around sporting one of my (many!) cute tote bags and love being asked where it came from, how much it was (most are pretty inexpensive) and whether I know if there are any more available!
Of course I’m one of those women that owns a bag for every occasion (and excuse) and I have quite the array of attractive and quirky totes. I think this stems from my college days, when I realized just how boring everybody else’s bags were and I wanted to be at least a little different.
I dyed my boring gray one, and then proceeded to draw lots of floral patterns and swirly designs on mine with fabric pens. Once I’d finished creating my tote bag masterpiece I finished it off with a flourish of bling … back then sequins were about as vivacious as bling ever got!
Bungalow360 Monkey Pocket Tote Bag
This is definitely one of those cute bags that draws attention due to the adorable monkey print, the colors and the striking bright pink polka dot lining. It's a good sized tote bag, lots of pockets on the outside and 2 inner compartments that have velcro fastenings. The fabric is a cotton canvas, 100% natural and great for keeping it looking clean and fresh.
The only hardware on the whole tote are a set of 4 silver handle rings, that secure the large carry handles, which make it great for wearing on the shoulder. If you're looking for an everyday tote for the coming season that's big on fun, this one's a great choice. It's well made, eco-friendly and sure to attract a flurry of compliments everytime you use it.

This cute tote bag is in fact a beach tote but we don't always buy bags for the purpose for which they were designed for ... do we? Most times we simply buy them because they appeal to us and this one has cute appeal by the bucket load. It makes a great shopper and like the previous tote, the fabric is an earth friendly natural canvas.
The main color is natural and the handles, base and trim are in a delicious pink floral print. It's a spacious tote and the interior comprises of one large compartment and a key fob with a velcro fastener that keeps it closed up. On the front there's a single pocket and the tote is available in a wide variety of colors and color combinations. Inexpensive and cute, versatile and spacious.

This is another of Bungalow360's cute bags and they're worth checking out as they have a large collection of thoroughly cute totes. This one's 100% adorable, it's a charming, whimsical tote that's also reversible. The reverse is a vibrant orange corduroy that's bright enough to attract anyone's attention.
There are two pockets, one in, one out, which can be found located in the side seams. Whichever side of the bag you choose to display, you get the same convenient outer pocket. The handles are a nice length, good for carrying in-hand or up on the shoulder and the material, 100% canvas, is a highly durable and easy to care for fabric. Everyone will love this bag, from the young to the old and for sure it's one of the cutest bags on the market!

There are many reasons to love patchwork purses, one of them being the fact that they’re so casual and easy to live with. You can have a real slouchy day with any style of patchwork bag and even the big designers like Coach and Louis Vuitton have dived on the hippy chick bandwagon.
This style of purse is often reminiscent of lazy, hazy summer days, long hot summers and all things casual and laid back. They’re unfussy, not meant to be taken seriously and a little searching can bring back some beautifully designed handbags.
The patchwork design is often thought to be based upon quilting, the homemade type, whereby you use a variety of different fabrics and textures to make up one good old fashioned retro style quilt.
A good example of these purses should take you back, give you the feeling that you’re carrying something that’s well made yet well loved, slightly worn around the edges and yet made to a quality that’s often missed in this over-manufactured world that we now live in. Our top picks cover all those bases and more and perhaps we’ll manage to entice you into owning any one of them.
?Coach Patchwork Gallery Shopper East West Tote Purse Brown Multi
Coach handbags have delivered a twist on the traditional patchwork purses more commonly seen, in that they've used a geometric alternative to the usual patchwork square approach. Coach use a variety of textured circles, all in different types and shades of brown leather, stitched over a leather base.
The handles and trim are a dark brown patent leather, the hardware comes in silver by way of rings, studs and a zipper with a small leather pull tab. Inside you'll find one zippered pocket and several slip pockets and a gorgeous fabric lining. It's not a large bag by any means but it is big enough for a casual tote, room enough for a wallet, cell phone and so on. Very high on quality, as you'd expect from a coach handbag, and superbly finished.

Vera Bradley Charleston Tote - Make Me Blush
Again this isn't a traditional patchwork purse, rather it's a modern yet feminine example of using the base principle and delivering something that still manages to have that all-important feel of being care-free and casual. Vera Bradley are a middle ground designer handbag brand and they're certainly worth looking at.
This one is a quilted cotton, with a varied floral print, one delicate and subdued, the other more vibrant and summery. The solid pink handles and detachable strap make it versatile and the magnetic closure is spot on for this style of purse. The inside features three slip pockets and one zip pocket and it's larger than the picture makes it look. The perfect purse for the coming summer months.
Quilted Pathwork Purse - Rag Bag
Patchwork purses don't come more typical that this one. This is a very inexpensive example of the type of bag that would make any hippy chick proud. It almost feels as though it's handmade as it's ever so slightly frayed around the edges. It's a small tote bag, though still big enough to haul around life's little essentials and the handle is just long enough to let you throw it up onto your shoulder.
It's a quilted 100% cotton fabric, fine for a low-temperature wash, and it comes with a zipper closing and a very adorable costume jewel type button flip-over closure. The colors are delicious and so full of summery goodness that we all wanted to rush right out and buy one. The straps are padded and there's one interior pocket and the most gorgeous polka dot lining. A deeply charming small tote.

The pink purse. Nothing is more girly, more feminine than the color pink. Happily purse designers have managed to take this fabulous symbolic shade and deliver a myriad of delicious tote bags and purses that are enough to make your mouth water.
Having checked out what’s on offer in the world of pink handbags, we settled on our favorite three. That said, the choice was a hard one as pink totes are many and come in so many different sizes and styles it’s enough to make a girls head spin.
Some of our favorites were cute clutches and small totes but we’re nothing if not practical at Pursenickety – we know that women want something that’s functional, fun and fashionable and as the smaller handbags tend to lay in the closet for the main, we remained focused on our objective!
The three that we settled on are indicative of what makes pink purses so yummy and desirable,. From the fabrics to the designs, the hardware to the styling, these totes have it all. Our only problem is that the more we stare at, touch, play with and feel these bags … the more we want to max out our credit cards!
Some things in life really do make you go 'mmmmmm' and this is one of them. From the large and ditzy floral embellishment on the front, to the size and shape of this pink tote, everything about it is scrumptious. The delicate baby pink is simply devine and the versatility you get from the detachable straps makes this a bag to drool over.
The interior is an equally appealing pink, with a couple of pockets, one zippered, one a slip pocket, and you get a third one located on the rear. The faux snakeskin leather adds to its overall appeal and quality appearance and the hardware (all in silver) is perfect. Gorgeous, cute ... we want one!

Vitalio Oversized Celine Satchel
We adored this paricular pink purse. Supposedly a satchel but we say it's one with a twist. It's hardly the stereotype is it? It looks far more like a hobo tote and yet it possesses everything that a good quality satchel should; space, function and style. We all agreed that the pink/brown combo works beautifully, as both colors compliment each other and add that all important interest that it may have lacked had it been all-over pink.
Inside you will find a light gray lining, two main compartments, a couple of slip pockets and one zippered pocket. On the rear there's a single zipped pocket and to the front one more that uses a flip-over closure. The 'mouth' is reinforced and gives it the gator style of opening and it's finished with a zippered closure and gold colored hardware. It's large, it's work/day tote friendly and it's well priced for what it is.
This Gypsy tote is the height of feminine goodness. From the shade of pink used on the faux leather, to the blinged up gypsy girl design on the front, this one's for the boho chick that loves to show her feminine side. It's also cavernous and full of pockets and compartments for those wanting something that does more than hang around looking pretty.
The inner lining comes in beige and the handles, trim and tassles are in a black/pink/brown faux snakeskin combo. There's a further pocket placed on the outside and the handle is plenty long enough to use this as it was intended - an oversized shoulder bag. Lots to see and do with this pink purse and a great choice if you want a bag that makes a statement about who you are.

Let’s fire it up with a gorgeous red purse, or simply a new tote bag with red accents. Red is one of the more vibrant colors in the spectrum, its hot and sassy, loud and vivacious and works well with a wide range of outfits and personal styles. Red can add a much needed splash of color and inject that all important joie de vivre to any look and it’s so easy to work with.
A few likeminded accessories and you’re hitting the ground running time after time. There are some stunningly good tote bags in a range of red shades, from the deep crimson through to an almost glorious burnt orange, and it’s the color of choice if you’re the type that loves to be noticed wherever you go.
It’s a bold color yet it works across a range of purse styles, from the casual hobo to the more streamlined work tote, red carries it off. If you’re looking to add some heat into your wardrobe, consider treating yourself to a delicious new red purse. Large or small, classic or boho chic, you won’t go far wrong picking one of the most flamboyant and eye-catching colors on the spectrum.
This is a versatile red purse, great for work or play, due to the fact that you can wear it as a crossbody bag, use it as a tote or even use it as a shoulder bag. It's a faux leather multi-faceted purse, plenty of ways to organize whatever you choose to haul around, lots of pockets and plenty of space.
The shoulder strap is both adjustable and removable, and the hardware is all silver tones. If red isn't your favorite color, you can also purchase it in black, blue or khaki and all are lined in a contrasting yet complimentary color. With 5 interior pockets and 4 zippered external pockets this one will give you all the space you need to create as much order ... or chaos! ... as you please. Fun, versatile and vibrant.
Coach Limited Edition Graffiti Hearts Glam Shopper Tote Black/Red
Whilst this delicious Coach tote isn't strictly a red purse, it does carry some beautiful red accents in the design. The variety of colors are almost a mini-explosion and that's what gives this tote its versatility. It will work across a range of outfits and color choices and you can really dress up the red by way of accessorizing.
The handles are a dark patent leather in gun metal gray and you can carry it as a tote or over the shoulder. The zipper fastenings come with a metal ring and there's one large zippered pocket to the front. You'll find more pockets placed inside and the eye-catching print and dark silver hardware really makes this one pop. Besides anything else, it's a coach - need we say more?!

- Coach Limited Edition Graffiti Hearts Glam Shopper Bag Purse Tote Black Red List Price: |
This red purse comes in the popular hobo style, and we're loving the ruche detailing, the gold hardware and the look and feel of the faux leather fabric. It has the luxury appearance without the price tag (which makes us love it even more) and it's full of compartments, pockets and space.
It's a great looking slouch bag, yet the color and style lend it a feel of elegance that makes this one a great choice of shopper or day tote. The manufacture is high quality, nothing lightweight or flimsy about the way it's put together and the bottom of the purse is reinforced enough that it stands well when placed on a surface. Good looking and right on trend.
