Top 3 Vera Bags

I've said this before, but if you know me even a little bit then you know that most places I go, I carry many bags. Some might call it "over packing" but I like to call it, being prepared! My bags of choice: Vera Bradley of course! I love so much about Vera bags...the colorful patterns, durability, and most of all, the versatility. There are three Vera bags that are especially great. Meet...the Ditty Bag, the Tote, and the Large Duffel. The Ditty Bag is a lined drawstring bag that is perfect for carrying all of your essential toiletries, including full size shampoo and conditioner bottles. Next, the Tote is the perfect size for 3-ring binders and a couple books or a change of clothes for an afternoon workout. Finally, the Large Duffel is just a great all-around bag. It's pretty much a standard go-to for weekend trips to the beach or mountains. It also works as a great airplane carry on bag. Most Vera bags are machine washable, but make sure to remove the cardboard base in the Tote before washing. Check out the Vera Bradley website for sales on patterns that are being retired, and for special offers like free shipping!

Vera Bradley: Apron Gift Set

Any of you who know me know that I am a huge fan of Vera Bradley. That may even be an understatement seeing as on any given day, I am carrying at least 1, usually 2 Vera bags! I got my first Vera tote my freshman year of college and have been hooked ever since. So although this may be my first post about Vera Bradley, it certainly won't be my last. While shopping in a Vera store last weekend I came across the cutest thing: A Vera Bradley apron and recipe box!! Gah, they think of EVERYTHING! Seeing as I didn't have an apron or a recipe box yet (and they happened to be on sale!) I just had to get one. This would make a great gift for any girl that loves to cook or bake, or just likes to look good attempting to cook or bake! Find a cute set of recipe cards and you're good to go! Personally I recommend monogrammed cards because I just love monograms. You can get some super cute personalized recipe cards on Etsy as well as other various websites.
