We'll show case some of the sleekest designs from a bevy of talented up and coming designers. Whether you're a total fashion-head and love to be in the know about the latest trends and newest designer darlings, or you're a classical-beauty kind of gal who just wants a few ideas for putting together something fun for a Saturday night out, we've got you covered. -Kari Check out our video installments:

Must-have Bag for Your Laptop

My laptop and I are connected at the…well, the lap… and I’m always on the search for a great bag to tote my baby, so when I happened upon Hard Graft’s 2Unfold bag, I went nuts. Not only is this gorgeous bag made from hand tanned and hand finished Italian leather and cotton canvas; it can be carried eight different ways. From the Urban Briefcase to the Rucksack, the Courier to the Leather Clutch, this is so much more than any thing you’ve ever imagined. It holds up to a 17 inch MacBook Pro plus any other electronic goodies you usually lug around.

If you like the look of this luscious bag then take a peek at their other products. Felt laptop sleeves and little homes for your iPod are abundant and though the prices are steep and the shipping is international, the holidays are coming! Time to spoil yourself and the technology that makes it all happen.
