Tune in for fantastic tips and tricks and to get your questions and dilemmas answered. We will be taking live calls and tweets throughout the show, so please follow and tweet us here. Read more about us and our show here, and tune in Tuesday nights from 8-9PM eastern standard time. If you can’t make it live, all shows are recorded so you can listen at your leisure.

Question: Hey Rath & Co! I see that you have some fun backpack recommendations…how about a nice, professional, hip, not-too-expensive briefcase? Big enough to carry a laptop, cute enough for after-work drinks and nice enough for an interview. Thoughts? -Arielle (on behalf of boyfriend)

Answer: Hey Arielle (+ boyfriend),

Here are three briefcase-type bags that I love and that fit your criteria. Note that you don’t want to go too inexpensive with something like this because you’ll be carrying your laptop in it. So it needs to be sturdy and well-constructed.

Each suggestion below has a slightly different vibe:

Polished: Jack Spade briefcase, $395

Rugged Prep: Billykirk for J. Crew Satchel, $365

Rugged Downtown: Doucal's Briefcase, $375

Cheers, and let me know how you do!
