So, normally in Sunday’s Bag I tell you about cool bags that I use or that I’ve come across online. Now, I’m reaching out and asking you what laptop bag you carry. Tell me why your bag is awesome and why I should want one!

I’ve got a bit of travel this year starting with a trip to Pennsylvania in July. We’ll be driving up as a family in the van, but hubby is coming home early to go back to work, and I’m taking the kids camping from there and then catching the train home. We rode the train last year and I found my messenger style bag a bit to big and bulky to carry around through the station and on the train. So, I’m looking for something a bit more compact. My laptop is only a 14 inch, so I don’t need a big bag to accommodate it. (Although I’m hoping to have bought a netbook by then so I don’t have to take the laptop at all!)

I’ve also got some travel in August and October for business where I’ll be taking the laptop for sure so I can work on projects on the fly. I don’t have a lot of extras in my laptop bag, just the laptop, the AC cord/charger, a USB mouse. My flash drives and my cell phone will be in my purse or on my lanyard around my neck, not in the bag.

So, I don’t need a ton of pockets and I don’t need a huge size…. Pretty fabrics make me happy, as do multiple choices when it comes to colors and fabrics when I find a style that I like. If I’m going to carry it I want it to look good. I’ll be flying in August and October so airline friendly is good also!

Bring it on! I want to hear all your bag recommendations! I’ll be blogging about the different choices recommended with thank you links back to those that recommended them as well, so be sure to leave a link to your blog or twitter when you comment.
