I’m a huge fan of Carolina Pad products since doing two reviews in the past for them. You can view those here and here in case you missed their wonderful products I reviewed. Carolina Pad have the trendiest, and the most stylish notebooks, binders, and other school and office products. They totally rock!

This time I’m here to tell you about Carolina Pad’s debut of the Studio C Bag Collection which hits Office Max stores today, April 1, 2010. Here is some information on the collection.

“The Studio C fashion collections look better than ever with the updated Simply Chic and new collections Royal Twist and TranZend. Consumers who like a more traditional design can express their style with Royal Twist or Simply Chic, by Carolina Pad Signature Designer Jackie McFee, are accented with vibrant pinks, yellows, and greens. Nature-inspired TranZend’s clean sophistication is perfect for the consumer who wants to keep it simple, yet stylish. But it’s the special touches that make these bags fashion standouts. TranZend’s everyday tote features beautiful, detailed embroidery for an extra punch of style.”

I was sent the Simply Chic Studio C bag for a review and I love it. It’s a smaller bag with so much room. Let’s get to some of the features first. The snap is a magnetic snap closure. I like magnetic closures as they seem to stay shut better than regular snap buttons. This bag has 5 interior pockets. Yes 5! The main pocket which holds a lot of items.

Even my laptop if I wanted to. The smaller pockets can hold anything you wish. I put my name badge for work in one, snacks in another, writing materials in another. There are endless possibilities of what to use these for. There is also an interior zippered pocket which is always wonderful for makeup, or personal items. There is even a drink holder pocket where my water bottle goes every morning before work. Then, there are two exterior pockets, one zippered and one open. The zippered pocket is actually hidden which I love. It isn’t recognizable so if you needed to put important items in there you could do that. Oh yes and there is a removable wristlet as well, which has come out and is now in my purse.

I cannot get over all the pockets in the tote bag. It’s the perfect bag for work. I can fit my notepad in there, along with all my needs for work and many magazines so I do not get bored. This could even be used as a very stylish and fashionable diaper bag. Yes, I love my totes that can be used as diaper bags. The design is funky but a funky that I love. It’s very chic and trendy. The Simply Chic design is all girly girl and the perfect pick for me. Mamas make sure you head on out to check out these new totes. Your going to want one.

Along with the Studio C Bags you can also pick up net book sleeves, laptop totes and accessory clutches. Both offer roomy interiors and plenty of pockets for storing cell phones, disks, pens, and other everyday items. Very handy for techie mamas and those who may travel often. The padded computer sleeves provide protection for your computer and are checkpoint friendly — breeze through airport security checkpoints without removing your computer from its sleeve! Used alone or in larger bags, the zippered accessory clutch’s compact size is an ideal choice for holding smaller items. Prices range from $7.99 for the accessory clutch to $29.99 for the laptop tote. Great priced for roomy bags that can be used in many different ways. Way to go to Carolina Pad for expanding their already wonderful product line!

What baby bargains will April bring along with those pesky showers? Here’s what you can expect in April, based on sales and deals we’ve seen in previous years:

• Easter sales continue through the first week in April. You’ll find them at Toys R Us and Babies R Us as well as other retailers.

• Look for free Mother’s Day Card offerings from Shutterfly, Snapfish et. al starting during the latter part of the month. Free photo book offers and “free shipping on photo gift” deals have also been known to surface. “

• YMCA Healthy Kids Day is April 17. From the site:

“YMCA Healthy Kids Day is a free, fun-filled day of activities designed to promote healthy kids and families in spirit, mind and body. YMCA Healthy Kids Day celebrates making fitness fun, and introduces kids to an array of YMCA programs and tools that teach healthy behaviors and healthy ways to play-an essential lesson in learning how to take care of themselves throughout their lifetimes.”

• Earth Day is April 22. BC predicts there will be lots of fun and free stuff to do outside in your community. Spring festivals also begin this month in many areas. Check your local listings. Many have arts and crafts areas for kids.

• Consignment sales continue this month, though not in the same volume we saw in March. Check for sales near you in your local paper or at The Bargain Watcher. Garage sales begin in warmer areas. Check your local paper or Craigslist to find them. Try using the “find” function on your browser to search for specific items like “crib” or “stroller” in the sale descriptions.

• Sales on outdoor play equipment continue. This is a great month to buy a swingset.

• Heads Up: Free Comic Book Day is May 1 this year.

Spring is undoubtedly the time to wear florals, and despite the fact that I’m not really a fan of floral prints, I can’t help but be taken by the romantic, sort of painterly print on this silk-blend dress by American Retro! Picture it with tights and suede booties on chillier days, then with strappy, caged sandals when the weather warms up. Just divine, but leave the beret at home. It’s $177.00, regularly $590.00, from The Outnet.
