In No Particular Order: #Professional #Fabulous #VeraBradley

#VeraBradley #ProductsThe #Working #Mama

Very Bradley has officially won me over! It's the perfect brand for the #working #mama. I'm relatively new to the brand. I picked up my first piece earlier this year because I was having trouble with my shoulder. I needed a light weight bag I could carry everyday that could hold both my personal and work phones. I started with a medium sized handbag (sorry I don't have the name of this style). It was perfect!

 I was so happy to find such a beautiful bag with perfect function. I later used this bag as a baby bag for our 9month old foster placement. It worked like a charm. I could carry all the bells and whistles needed for baby care. Eventually, however, I found the bag to be a bit large. So, back to Vera I went!

That's when I found my next favorite the small factory crossbody.

Again I was smitten. The versatile crossbody was super light and easy to carry while chasing kids and bringing bin groceries. I was in love, but it was too small for all of my #mama needs. I needed a happy medium and I found it in the mailbag!

The mailbag met all of my need for form and function. The top pocket was an immediate win! I could reach in grab my wallet and go! The mailbag was the perfect size, not too big, not too small, fashionable and functional for sure. At this point I was completely hooked on the brand. Lightweight, and beautiful, it was time to get set for #work!

I live close to an outlet, thank #God, and I'm able to pick up outlet or factory exclusive patterns. For work I chose the Hilo Meadow pattern in the laptop cover and the laptop bag. I loved the pattern but the laptop bag wasn't large enough for all of my #workjunk. So I moved to the factory Essentials Backpack.

The Essentials Backpack was the perfect #workbag. I could fit  full of cords, notebooks, pens, headphones and cables. It even fit the laptop perfectly I back! I was set for work...for a little while. 

I quickly discovery Vera Bradley is a brand you have to collect. I've tried to keep it functional but I've also splurged. For function I purchased the RFID wallet and the small cosmetics bag.

These two items are literally all I #need for everyday function but Vera Bradley is also about #want! So I've picked up a few wants along the way.

You have to have a few totes in your collection. I picked up this beaut in Midnight Wildflower. It's a factory pattern that has beautiful fall colors but can be worn all year. This #want is not without function. I store my magazines and tech in this tote with ease. Vera's products are extremely well made and are sturdy.

For full retail items I have to shop online as there isn't a full retail store near me. Although they do carry Vera at my local Dillard's. I love getting Vera mail! My latest additions are the Foxwood pattern, Sling Backpack and Laptop Organizer. 

The Foxwood pattern is simply sensational! It has a classic whimsical beauty that pairs well with many colors. I had to indulge in this work of art!

 I've gotten wonderful pattern placement! 

I'll review anfew of my favorite products. There is sure to be more Vera to come!!
