Based on how well she takes care of her Nintendo DS, my tween's future electronics are going to need to grow some thick skins if they are going to survive living with her. So if you have a kid who has been handed a precious iPad for her …

Whenever I travel and need to bring my heavy, unruly laptop with me, I try to use a bigger purse as a makeshift laptop bag so I can better match it with my wardrobe. While I could use a laptop sleeve, I confess I often end up wrapping th…

I am beyond happy that smart is in fashion--for us and for our kids. (In fact, check our Cool Mom Picks back to school shopping guide for a whole category of tees that promote smarts instead of stupidity.) And while they don't make this …

As someone who multitasks all day long with work and four kids, you can bet I need a bag that does the same exact thing. That's why I've got my eye on the newest Kelly Moore camera bag slated to be ready to ship in just a couple of weeks…

I'm picky when it comes to laptop cases, because I tote mine around pretty much daily. I kind of hate when I end up at an after-work cocktail party knowing I have to tote a big, padded ugly thing over my shoulder the whole time. (Upper c…

Ahhh...I still remember the day I picked up my very first MacBook like it was yesterday. Pristine white shell, fancy schmancy inner workings. It was like reaching nerd-vana while floating on top of a wispy wireless cloud. Five minutes la…

Something happened the day I switched from my ordinary but practical black laptop case to one a little more...me. I felt a little more me too. I figure since I pretty much carry my laptop every day, it makes sense to have a case that mak…

Now that I'm getting back in the habit of carrying around an actual camera, as well as my trusty iPhone, I'm starting to eye all the fabulous dual-use camera bags out there that can double as purses too. Wow, they've come a long way, bab…

While our tech is getting smaller (brick phones of 1992, anyone?) it seems like my handbag isn't. I'm now carrying around chargers, wires, converters...gah. I've learned that my best bet is to keep it all organized instead of just tossin…

As much as I love so many laptop bags that are out out there, I love the idea of being able to design my own. And that's exactly what I (and you) can do, complete with an eco-friendly twist, at Rickshaw Bagworks. This San Francisco based…

There's nothing like a new purse to kick off the New Year (I have at least a couple more weeks to use the New Year excuse to shop). And when a fantastic deal like these Alicia Klein, a former Burberry designer, comes around, well, I'm re…

You love your new DSLR and you want to take it everywhere. But between the diaper bag, your purse and holding the littles' hands while they cross the street, there's just no way you can take along one more bag or one more thing. And let'…

I love that iPads and tablets have become so essential, that the fancypants high-end designers are now creating cases right along with their fashion accessories. Case in point: this swanky little leather number from a top design house th…

I've seen my fair share of iPad cases and sleeves, all of which tend to look like they're holding an iPad. But when I saw these beautiful, handmade sleeves, I actually had to look at the description before realizing what they were for. T…

It's arguably the hottest gadget bag of the year, the one that had tongues wagging when it was on display at our big launch event , and we want to give one to you and three of your friends. It's the Epiphanie Camera Bag. And it's easy to…

One of the most common questions we get from the Cool Mom Tech readers is the request for cool camera bags. I kind of love that so many of you are still employing the SLR and not just getting lazy with the smartphone camera like I often …

Do you have any ideas for a nice looking backpack purse? (I'm on crutches for the next month or so--great excuse for another purse, right?) Need something large enough to fit the laptop in, but also versatile enough to throw in a diaper …

Do you change your laptop bag with the change of seasons? I happen to tote my MacBook everywhere, which means I'm increasingly less satisfied with the big, black, clunky case I've been living with all winter. Especially now that spring i…

We've been a fan of the eco-friendly, handmade bags from Queen Bee Creations since waaaay back, and we've been eagerly following creator Rebecca Pearcy's designs since then. So how perfect is it that she's launching a new collection that…

I'm one of those moms who could reallllly use one of those purse organizers and would get one then never actually use it; mostly because they contain a set number of pockets of specific sizes, which just doesn't fly for this free spirit.…
