Kate Hudson

This month's Elle UK Magazine cover got me completely enthralled with Kate Hudson all over again. I loved her in Almost Famous as Penny Lane, which was her breakout roll.

Kate Hudson was born on April 19, 1979 and today is not only an American Golden Globe winner but also a Oscar nominated actress. She's best known for her rolls in Almost Famous, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Skeleton Key, You, Me and Dupree, Fool's Gold and most recently, Bride Wars.

Although Hudson is known for her amazing figure and personal style, her most commendable attribute is her focus to be a positive influence on the way young females view their bodies. In 2006 Kate sued the British Enquirer after they stated that she had an eating disorder. Hudson said the actions were "completely inappropriate", a “blatant lie” and was truly concerned with the affects the article could have on young girls.

Kate is a fun and loving actress with lots positive energy and tons of confidence. As a Hollywood actress she needs a laptop bag that's as bright as her personality, sophisticated as her style and one that can handle the ups and downs of show business. For Kate, I choose the Abbi NY Carrie Tote in Gold...This laptop bag is a head turner with a unique two toned leather trim and lots of functionality!

Holly Buchanan is the co-author of The Soccer Mom Myth - Today's Female Consumer, Who She Really Is, Why She Really Buys.

Holly's specialty is marketing to women online.
She began her career in the radio industry as a copywriter and creative director. It was the perfect training ground for the work she does today. “I worked with over a thousand clients. (that's right - averaged over one hundred every year) We had 5 radio stations with formats ranging from adult contemporary, to country, to alternative rock. A typical day included meetings with clients as varied as high end jewelers and strip clubs. But I got a hands on view of what copy spoke to those different audiences, what worked and what didn't.”

Holly is constantly on the go, traveling around the country and speaking at events. She has given me invaluable guidance for CareerBags.com so the best way that I could thank her for her expertise was with mine. When she described her bag to me I realized that she could use a little help. So I went through my list of questions and chose the perfect bag for her. A Rolling Laptop Bag from Clark and Mayfield. Elegant, polished and practical. It holds her laptop and all of the essential items she needs to hop off a plane and show up looking fabulous as she shares her valuable insights into how to market to women.

Ellen Degeneres - StyleFile

Given my line of work, I tend to see the world through laptop bag lenses. I just can't help it. I see a woman in a suit and I immediately think "Ooo - I can think of at least three business cases that would pull that whole look together."

So I'm back to writing on the blog that I call "Professional Style File", where I'll pair some of today's top business women with - what else? - today's top women's laptop bags!

I thought I'd start with one of my favorite business women (and entertainers), Ellen Degeneres. I'm such a huge fan of hers - plus, we have the same first name, which makes me feel cool.

Ellen's on top of the world right now - She's witty, savvy, successful and a true inspiration.

Ellen generally sports a classic look but she has a wild and crazy side too, if her daily booty shaking on her talk show is any indication. So the bag I'd pick for her is the Laurex Laptop Messenger Bag It's bright, colorful and stylish, just like Ellen herself.

Plus, Laurex Bags are made of or nylon, so they're animal-product-free - perfect for an animal lover and activist like Ellen Degeneres.

So, Ellen, that's my StyleFile tip for you! I think the Laurex Red Blossom Laptop Bag is just the right accessory to help you get your groove on and keep it going all day.
