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!

Arianna Huffington

As you can see in the sidebar, I'm reading Arianna Huffington's On Becoming Fearless at the moment.

And I regularly read her online magazine, the Huffington Post, where I can get both my incisive political commentary as well as up-to-date news on the latest Mini-Me sex tape scandal.

So naturally, when I was considering the next candidate for laptop bag matchmaking, Ms. Huffington was first on my list!

I'm a big fan of Arianna Huffington's confident, forthright style. Who wouldn't be inspired by her success as an entrepreneur, media mogul and activist?

I think the Coakley Timeless Tweed Laptop Bag in Sand is the perfect match for Arianna's classic, polished look and on-the-go lifestyle. It's an elegant and very practical laptop tote, with a timeless, simple exterior and an interior packed with pockets and zippered pouches.

Sadly, Arianna rarely calls me for style advice - she's so busy these days, and then I suppose there's also the fact that we don't know each other. But if I see her toting the Coakley Timeless Tweed Laptop Bag around, I'll know my StyleFile message got through!

Tina Fey - StyleFile

I've loved Tina Fey since her Weekend Update days on SNL and I can't wait for the new season of 30 Rock to kick off (October 30 seems so far away...). Award-winning writer, producer, performer, mom - Tina Fey does it all and makes it look easy.

Well, not always easy. Sometimes, painfully awkward. Yet hilarious. But that's all part of her brilliance

Not only is she smart, funny and feminist (three traits I deeply admire), Tina Fey is also, as my mother would say, a snappy dresser. With her dark brown hair and trademark dark-rimmed glasses, she owns her look and has created a style that is unmistakably her.

Which laptop tote could possibly compliment Tina Fey's look?
Behold the Quimby Quilted Laptop Brief by Clark and Mayfield!

As you can see, the Quimby is fun, flirty and fashion forward outside but inside, this bag is all business. The well-padded, removable laptop sleeve in the front compartment protects your computer and leaves plenty of room for your peripherals and daily essentials.

The back compartment of the bag is a large fan-fold section to keep files, scripts (and notebooks full of brilliant ideas) secure and organized.

The Quimby also comes with an adjustable strap with a deep sponge-rubber cushion, making it super-comfortable to carry from home to office meetings to the set.

I think the quirky yet stylish Quimby would suit both Tina Fey and her 30 Rock alter-ego, Liz Lemon. Maybe I should send her a note at Ask Tina and see what she thinks? In the meantime, check out the Quimby Quilted Laptop Brief at CareerBags.com!

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.
