College Essentials- Vera Bradley Edition

With back to campus just around the corner we decided to highlight some of our best sellers for back to college!



The laundry bags are colorful, sturdy, + great for toting clothes to the laundry room at school (or bringing laundry home on the weekends!) These limited time items flew off our shelves in the first two days they were released and we're so happy to have some back in stock.

The laptop backpack is useful for carrying books, notebooks, laptop, etc. to classes! (also popular for books is the 'Vera' style bag)

Shower caddy + flip flops (shower shoes) are dorm room musts; the Vera Bradley ones are bright & adorable.

Lanyard & zip ID are ideal for carrying keys and holding a school ID. The mini hanging organizer is great for organizing cosmetics and will take up little space hanging in a dorm room or bathroom.

The XL duffle holds a lot of clothes, shoes, and accessories- ideal for carrying belongings back and forth from school!

The colorful note cube is perfect to jot down quick notes. A school agenda is essential for keeping track of homework, appointments, etc.

We hope to see you at the store soon- be sure to tell us your favorite back to school essentials!

Hoo Hoo!

Owls are a big trend in jewelry and accessories right now. We happen to love them and it seems like owls are tucked in every corner of the store; here’s a few of our favorites:

Stationary that brightens your day

The Vera Bradley Fall 2011 stationary is too cute for words! I couldn't resist getting the Safari Sunset note cards, the bright hues add such a pop of color to my desk. Below are the Safari Sunset & Mocha Rouge note cards. Each pack comes with 12 cards + envelopes.

How cute are these giraffes?






The mocha rouge stationary mixes the pattern with three adorable vintage dress forms:



Everyone loves to get a handwritten card, especially when the cards are as adorable as these!
