Tuesday already! I’m excited that today’s Shoesday features the cute and classic Vera Bradley flip flops that have recently been added to Zappos! The bold prints make them fun additions to solid colored sundresses and bathing suits for this summer.
Which are your favorites??
First weekend trip of the summer starts tonight after work– heading to Rhode Island for a graduation party and beaching with college friends! I actually find it more difficult to pack for two days than I do for a week-long trip… so much I want to wear and not enough time! I limit my packing by forcing myself to fit everything within a small duffel or tote. It’s never easy, but I’m so much happier in the end with a small shoulder bag than a clunky rolly suitcase or oversized duffel.
These are some great sizes to go with for weekending, and what fun looks too!
Small Duffel in Blue Lagoon, Vera Bradley, $69 (select colors on sale!)
The Gardiner's Island Seersucker Acrylic Duffel Bag, Wm. J. Mills & Co., $130
Denim Beach Tote, Lucky Brand, $79
Jute Based Tote, CALYPSO St. Barth for Target, $14 (sale!)
Key-Per Duffle Satchel, Fossil, $98
Medium Weekender, LeSportsac, $98
Safe travels!!
While I can certainly appreciate the value of a good Tory Burch clutch, sometimes I just need something a little more practical and easy on the wallet. And with summer coming up, I can’t help but get excited about the perfect carryall: oversized tote bags. Durable, endless pits, they are the best for beach days. And at these prices, I just can’t resist. Many of these finds also donate proceeds to charity 🙂
My first Vera Bradley bag was actually my mother’s. It was straight out of 1983 but just as pretty as the fabrics you still see them using today. I love Vera because it’s a brand my mom and I, like many other mothers and daughters, both love and can bond over. Here are some of my favorite Vera Bradley picks for Mother’s Day– all under $30–and so pretty for spring!
Deluxe Photo Album in Versailles, $21-$28
Checkbook Cover, $12-$19
Hard Eyeglass Case, $12-$18
Note Cards, $10.50-$14
Large Cosmetic, $22-$26
My favorite pattern is definitely the last one, Watercolor. It’s new for 2011 and just so soft and lovely!
