I currently am in love with Tory Burch. To me the brand oozes classic sophisticated fashion which is totally my style right now. I still have no purchased a lap top case for my new Mac Book Pro which is probably not a good thing. An Apple computer is more like an investment and the fact that I’m not protecting properly is the worst thing someone can do.

On a good note, I think I just found a laptop case that I’m in love with! The Tory Burch “Alice” Quilted Laptop Case is gorgeous and fashionable all wrapped into one. It may look like a normal case to a person who doesn’t know fashion but to me this is one classically beautiful bag! It almost looks like a purse. In fact if you own a black Tory Burch bag it would most likely match perfectly!

I recently purchased a brand new Mac Book Pro and I consider Mac the type of computer that you truly need to take care of because let’s face it, it’s an investment. I’ve been looking for months for the perfect case for it, and I’m still unsuccessful. Sure, there are some gorgeous designer cases that are over $500, by why spend that much for something that’s just going to hold your lap top?

When I came across the Marc by Marc Jacobs “Pretty” Nylon Computer Commuter Tote I thought it was really cute. I’m still not sure if this would be the case for my computer but I definitely liked it at first. I’m usually not a fan of anything that looks like a quilt but it was cool to see that item that looked like a purse was in fact a lap top case.

I recently just bought myself a Mac Book Pro and I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect case/sleeve for it. I’m extremely picky so whatever I pick either had to be pretty or fashionable. When I laid my eyes on the Diane von Furstenberg “Mariella” Laptop case I was instantly sold. I’m usually not a colorful person, but I must say that I’m absolutely in love with this case and I need it!

Yes, I admit that it does look like any normal laptop case. To some it maybe nothing special but to me it’s gorgeous. The colors go amazing together and I can just envision an Apple laptop being taken out of it. I mean face it, I would consider an Apple laptop more of a high fashion computer. You can get a PC less than $500 these days, whereas an Apple will set you back more than a $1000. So why not have a gorgeous case to go with you beautiful Apple?

The iPad has gotten to be quite the popular gadget. I have seen so many of them floating around at school, it’s starting to look like the netbook has some serious competition! In fact, there are three people in one of my classes that break out their iPad for every class period (compared to two people who bring a netbook). That’s saying a lot considering there are only 10 people in the class! And now, with all the talk of iPads on TBF, I’m finding myself wanting one as well! It would make reading all those darn PDF files so much easier!

So for all you bagistas out there that already own an iPad, I have put together a list of affordable designer iPad cases and sleeves. After all, you wouldn’t want your iPad to feel neglected when looking at all the other snazzy items hanging out inside your bag! But not all iPad cases/sleeves are created equal. You will find that there is a little something for everyone out there, depending on your preferences. Below you will find some of my favorites!

Dooney and Bourke just came out with a new accessory for the designer loving tech-bag-ista.

In conjunction with Apple’s release of the iPad the designers over at Dooney & Bourke have created this chic new case, available in an assortment of classic colors – sunny yellow, fire engine red, navy blue, chocolate brown, taupe, ivory white and of course jet black. I kinda wish they had a couple fun colors thrown in the mix, like pink or purple.

Is it just me? Or were those mini cross-body bags the hot thing for Fall… 2009? Like most of you ladies out there, my local mall was jam-packed with displays of cross-body bags. But can we truly say that this particular style was “so Fall 2009″? After all, they are great for when you need your hands free. There’s nothing worse than trying to hang onto your bulky satchel when your hands are full of shopping bags from your latest rendezvous at the mall. But would they be appropriate for everyday use? Probably not. Especially if you typically carry a whole arsenal of makeup and other essentials around with you on a day to day basis. However, this isn’t to say that a cross-body bag wouldn’t come in handy from time to time. And if you use it for something in which they were originally intended (i.e., a camera bag), then it is probably worth your time to snap one up.

Even though they were always on the pricey side, I’ve always loved the Juicy Couture lap top sleeves. Anytime I find designer accessories that has to do with technology in some way, shape or form I usually fall in love. Some designer “technology” accessories I have eyed have included the: Ed Hardy and Juicy Couture flash drives; Marc Jacobs lap top sleeves; Coach mouse pad; and Louis Vuitton iPod cases.

I apologize to any See by Chloe fans out there, but I can’t justify buying any of their overprized accessories, overall, they’re not so impressive. I have yet to run into something I must have, but today, something did catch my attention.

Just check out the killer message found on this pouch. Want to take a wild guess at what the name of this piece is? Yes, you pretty much guessed it; meet the Dance or Die Pouch by SBC. So someone at SBC headquarters threw a joke onto this pouch and I can’t help but wonder if I’m the only one that doesn’t get it? Illustrated on canvas is the message that seems to be coming from a phonograph record player, as if it were music to the owner’s ears. I personally don’t find this attractive, but I do like the variety of colors you can choose from.

You can’t go wrong with a simple canvas accessory, as this piece is. It looks supportive and roomy enough for small essentials. Although I do hate how the $95 price tag is nowhere near convincing; otherwise, these would make really cute gifts.

Louis Vuitton also came out with a limited edition Monogramouflauge iPhone case, which sold out very quickly and can no longer be purchased. The Louis Vuitton iPhone cases run from $240-$290, but when the next price increase comes around I’m sure they will go up!

Prada has also got on in on the iPhone mania and has come out with a rather stylish case for the over popular phone. Although, the Prada iPhone case may be fashionable, it sells out rather quickly. The Prada iPhone case is available in a grayish metallic color and it is absolutely stunning. The iPhone case by Prada runs for $140, which is not a bad price for a designer phone case.

Louis Vuitton iPhone cases can be purchased at eBay and Prada iPhone cases can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue. Saks Fifth Avenue does have the Prada iPhone available from time to time, but it does sell out quickly so be sure to check often.
