It's not often you find a bag to tote your laptop, iPad, and ereaders that is fit for the office and on the go, but these Clare Vivier bags are just the thing you need to stay on top of your tech style. From work bags to luxurious fold-over clutches, they can cradle your iPads, ereaders, and laptops - all while making a positive fashion statement.

My favorites are the Flat Tote ($160), which doubles as a work-appropriate laptop bag and can also fold over for night excursions; the Work Tote ($200), which comes with a compartment for a 15-inch laptop; and the Oversize Clutch ($180) that can store your smaller gadgets while staying on trend.

Have a shopping addiction? Then surely you're familiar with Bloomingdale's iconic, brown shopping bags. The "little," "medium," and "big" brown bags have become classic designs, and now the bag has made its way to tech accessories. The laptop case is designed to mimic the shopping bags.

It's constructed from coated canvas and lined with soft, brown fabric; the bag also features an interior pocket and shoulder strap and fits 14-inch (or under) laptops like a glove.

Three's a Charm: A MacBook Air, Fog City Bag, and a CushCase

Kristy Korcz — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 14:15:26 PST

It's not often that I run across something so well put together in one afternoon, so I thought I'd share my shopping finds with you retro-styled geeks that love a little bit of vintage flair to go with your gadgets. First, enter the 13-inch MacBook Air ($1,300) - a featherweight laptop that can go with you just about anywhere. Add in a handmade Etsy purple corduroy CushCase ($24) to keep it like new, and a canvas and leather ModCloth Fog City Sunset Bag ($254) that takes you back to the days of acid wash jeans, and you have a perfectly hipsterized trio that will last you at least until the '80s trend is over.

Take a closer look at the laptop case and the bag (you know you're craving it, too) in the slideshow! Happy shopping!

Take note color lovers - Pantone recently announced that the color of the year for 2011 is Honeysuckle. Although I'm not totally into pink gadgets and accessories, I have to get behind Pantone - it knows color like no one else. Check out a few of the items I've found on ShopStyle and beyond that take inspiration from the very feminine hue.

If loving the ONA Union Street DSLR Bag ($279) is wrong, then I don't want to be right. I mean, look at all these pockets! Sure, the waxed leather (coming in tan, smoke, and black) exudes a certain amount of masculinity, but the functionality of the bag - which includes moveable, padded dividers for your DSLR, up to three lenses, batteries, flash, spare SD cards, even your 15-inch laptop, and phone- makes it a lust-worthy item for geeks of all sexes. The Union Street bag is on pre-order now, but is expected to ship starting next week. It's the perfect splurge gift for the geek who has all of his gadget angles covered!

Incase Goes Weather-Resistant For Winter

Kristy Korcz — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 07:30:37 PST

Seriously, where has the time gone!? It seems like only yesterday I was declaring my love for Fall colors when -boom - Winter shows up on my doorstep. Even if I'm not ready for the chilly and wet conditions, at least my laptop can be with the latest Incase lineup of MacBook accessories. More than just a color change (oh, but how luscious the colors are - taupe, auburn, and a deep blue), the Winter-ready laptop cases and bags come in a super durable cotton canvas that's been weather treated to keep those raindrops from soaking through your bag and gunking up your machine.

Fitting your 13- and 15-inch MacBooks, the Incase accessories range from $50 for a simple sleeve, to $130 for a sturdy backpack that fits all sizes of MacBooks. There's even a padded sling-style Field Bag ($70) made just for toting around your iPad!

Splurge-Worthy: Marc by Marc Jacobs Army (Laptop) Tote

Michele Foley — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 14:30:39 PDT

I think the sales girl at Marc by Marc Jacobs wants to strangle me. I've been making weekly visits to the store to visit a certain bag, which I always ogle, but never buy.

The New Army Tote ($298) is the perfect office bag for a 20-something gal like myself. The bag has a grownup vibe, but its canvas material and utilitarian-inspired look give it a fresh, youthful feel. And, as you know, I am way into the military trend that's happening in laptop bags. At 17 inches wide it'll easily fit my MacBook Pro, and the two front pockets can stash my iPhone, camera, and other tidbits when I'm on the go.

What do you think - should I make the splurge?
