Personal Shopper: A New Laptop Bag to Spring Jael Into The New Semester

Jael writes: "Hi my name is Jael and I have a huge problem! Spring semester is here and I have no way to carry around my new laptop. I have searched high and low to find the perfect bag that is both stylish and practical. I have been at this for at least a month and tried every suggestion on this site for a laptop bag but sadly none of those worked for me. Ok, I have been known for being very specific but I think that's a good thing in this case. My laptop is a 15.6' screen but is a bit on the thick side so something at least 16' should work and I need a bit more room for my extra battery, bluetooth mouse and power cable, also a pocket for my nook would be nice. I hate anything too girly but have no problem with delicate feminine prints and I definitely do not want something masculine that looks like a briefcase. I prefer a messenger style bag or something with a shoulder strap and my taste tends to gravitate towards artistic elements or classic and vintage looks. I really love jack spade products but sadly they're out of my student budget of less than $100. Can you please help me find something that is unique and stylish but quality enough to hold up to daily use? I would appreciate it very much. Thanks for your time, Jael"

Hey, the link for the first bag appears to be incorrectly the same as the second. The first one was the only one I liked... can you get the correct link? Thanks!
