Better late than never ;) I wanted to share what I picked up in the sale (and the spring preview!!) My life took some twists and turns over the last two years or so and in April 2016 I decided to go back to school to pursue a new career.  It is an exciting time!  It has been a while since I have treated myself to a new bag. While I was home for Christmas even my mother, who never points out things like this, said that my leather bag was looking a little worn out. I tried to remember when I bought it and I think it is probably 7 years old and it is my 'go-to' bag, so it has seen better days. The bag holds so much though! Sometimes I call it my Mary Poppins bag.  

You can see my Jazzy Blooms sunglass case, Very Berry Paisley accordion wallet and English Rose coin purse. First I decided to get a replacement bag for my black bag.  I ordered a Quilted Emma Satchel in black.  It looks like it is going to be a nice big bag and I hope that I like how structured it is.  I will post some photos once it arrives. I was only going to get the bag,  but decided to see what else was on sale, so I added a Christmas Ornament in Kiev Paisley.  I have an ornament from every year they have sold them, so it was nice to get the 2016 ornament on sale.  Random side-note: my sister was in the Peace Corps and did her service in Ukraine, so I have been to Kiev! Vera Bradley is also doing a preview of Havana Rose (full release on January12).  They have eight pieces currently for sale.  So I ordered a Market Tote.  I probably didn't need another tote, but Havana Rose is the first print in a while that I absolutely LOVE. Also, I am in California and plastic bags have been banned from stores, so we have to bring our own bags.

It will be nice to have a brand new gorgeous bag to take with me! One last thing, my birthday was in November so I went to use my birthday coupon for 25% off my full price order, but I only wanted one thing and it was on sale for 30% off already.  So I passed the coupon along to a friend and bought the Preppy Poly Wristlet.  I wanted something that would work as a wallet and wristlet so that when I am on campus I can use it if I run from a study session to the cafeteria or bookstore.  tvu backpack costThis wristlet works perfectly!  coolpix s32 backpackMy iPhone 6 even fits in the front zipper pocket. tornado 4900 backpackThey are currently sold out of black, but have a couple other color options left.swiss k31 backpack
