We, the fairer sex, or ladies as you call us hereby declare that we too would be shoulder to shoulder with men and face the changing technologies, the changing style of eating, cooking living and maybe … breathing too. And the contribution I wish to give is using the laptop in an appropriate manner, not merely like the blonde girl in the next cubicle who gets squealing whenever she succeeds at minimizing her application. Well, she’s blonde and I am a brunette, and I too have had my share of blonde moments. Anyways, I recently started using a laptop bag for my laptop. It’s from HandStands and its working fine for me.

HandStands has Italian style laptop totes in brown and black crocodile textures. Don’t worry; PETA won’t be angry on you, HandStands laptop tote bags are not made from crocodile leather, it’s just the texture. It feels very much like a crocodile style laptop tote. It looks like a regular beach bag or everyday use computer bag, but is exceptionally made from Italian leather – one of the finest leather known to humans. Considering this I felt that they had misprinted the price of the Italian design laptop tote bag/ laptop case but it wasn’t, the bag is quite cheap considering the leather quality. Secondly, Italian leather in particular is very very VERY durable, and it will last for all seasons. I haven’t checked for the durability in rainy season, but I am sure it will see through that too.

HandStands Italian design laptop tote bag might not seem good enough in comparison to the laptop backpack teenagers carry these days, but trust me, if you have to gift it to someone or buy one for yourself,  the thinkpad bag will be the ideal option.

Italian leather laptop bags will surely sustain the fast-paced lifestyle we business women have. You won’t have to use canvas tote bags, or tote bags for laptops that are meant only for securing the laptop. Little do people know that women like things which are durable and look good, all at a reasonable price! Reason why I insist on buying leather tote bags for notebook – the leather laptop tote in particular. You will love the style and you’ll love taking it everywhere you go.

This week we are going to take a look at jewelry trends in different cultures and countries.  We will of course look back at history to see how it helped mold the jewelry fashion industry into what it is today.  We will focus on specific countries throughout this week and then showcase of few of Gilbert and Frech’s uniquely original designs and see how the influence of style and culture helped to create them.

Some of the earliest pieces of jewelry that were created out of precious metals and gemstones were found in the country of Egypt.  Egyptians mainly used gold and fashioned many items out of this very malleable metal such as armlets, bracelets, head adornments, rings, earrings and even collars.  Greece also was making their own fashion trends during the BC era and the trend at that time was using beads and designing them into shapes that represented nature such as flowers, shells or beetles.  Greece was wealthy with raw materials and started adorning their jewelry with precious gemstones such as rubies, emeralds and pearls.  Pearls became the most prized and precious gemstone in jewelry.  The most rare and beautiful were found in South India and the Persian Gulf.  During the 17th century is when jewelry became an adornment that was acceptable in everyday use.  France was a great influence on the jewelry industry during the early 1800’s.  Victorian jewelry became popular as Queen Victoria reigned and it began to be massed produced and sold all over the world.  During the 1950’s America made its mark with what people would refer to as the Hollywood influence.

Over the years many countries had their influence over the style and trends of jewelry.  As it was created and shipped to different parts of the world, other cultures added their own unique flare.  It will be fun to take a look this week at specific countries and see what the popular jewelry trend is in their culture today!  Will it be similar to what is popular here in America or will it be completely unique and different?  The world has become smaller with the birth of the internet.  Every kind of information is available to us know with just the tapping of our fingertips.  Just like that, we can type in and order whatever kind of jewelry we like from whatever country or culture we want.  It is truly an amazing thing.

Yes it is true, quilted handbags are back with a bang. They seem to be the latest trend to hit the market and what a fashion statement they make. What is more is that they are sturdy enough for everyday use, stylish and a very affordable substitute to the more expensive designer brands. If you are looking to buy one for yourself or even as a gift here are the types that you are most likely to come by.

The retro look

Everything goes full circle – that is true of fashion as well. While you have bell bottoms and large prints coming back into style, the retro look for handbags is in as well. This applies to Quilted handbags too. You will come across lots of bags put together with pieces of denim, tie and die patches, material from t-shirts and even prints of the overused peace sign.

The ethnic feel

The great part about Quilted handbags are that you can get them to look exactly the way you want it too and therefore getting the ethnic look too should be fairly easy. You will find a lot if bags in the market with an American Indian look or even a look that reminds you of New England. Whatever look you choose reflects your personality and style.

Make your own

The best way to get your very own original quilted handbags is to make them yourself. They are easy to put together if you have a basic know how of stitching and if you have put together a patchwork quilt or a blanket you should have no problem at all. Creating your own bag reflects your personality, style and taste. Handcrafted bags also make the ideal gift for that someone special.
