I recently bought a new laptop since my old one sounded like it was preparing for lift-off.  Not joking. I have been looking for a cute laptop bag to house my new, sleek, and shiny computer.   All of the bags I have seen look super stuffy and B-O-R-I-N-G!  Most are all black and gray, and some even have wheels (I am not looking for this option quite yet :D).  I will never figure out why people who design laptop bags think that people (aka women) don’t care about looking chic. This must change!

I want a bag that is not only trendy, but can house other necessary items like my lunch (I brown bag it – eating out in the city is expensive and it makes your butt big), my shoes (I’m a commuter!), and my umbrella (for most days when the weather man is wrong). 

I have been seeing more and more oxblood colored accessories. The color is so rich looking.  I started my search for oxblood inspiration bags and stumbled upon a few that I think are super cute.  I want something that is simple and not too bulky.  Watch out….CIY oxblood tote coming your way!
