In Need of a Laptop Bag/Backback that Doesn't Look Like Your Little Brother's

As of late, I have been toting around my laptop, which is equivalent to the weight of a small underfed child, in a purse rather than a laptop bag. What with the purchases of an external hard drive (my second one), a 90$ Metro Card for the month (hope I don’t lose it like I have my last three), and a few inexcusable trips to some boutiques, my pockets have nicely asked me not to abuse them again for at least another week. However, my back/spine is currently winning the battle of abuse, thus, I ask you, my loves: what brands or styles of laptop bags or backpacks do you all use? Why do you love them?

My credentials only include three things, and they must be met: MUST be under 100$ (rich bitches, I excuse you now),  MUST not look like it belongs to a child and cannot be something sold everywhere, and MUST MUST MUST be durable. After all, I am going to school for journalism and at any given moment I may also be lugging around my hard drive, video camera and/or an extra pair of shoes if my heels decide to break.

So, help me. Give me brands, stores, styles…I’ll take anything at this point. My back is on the brink so my pockets will just have to get over it.
