Mommies Coffee Break

I’m a HUMONGOUS Vera Bradley fan.  The first time I saw a Vera Bradley purse I think I knocked someone down to get a closer look. Seriously.  And I haven’t looked back.

I have been blessed to received a few pieces as gifts and use them almost daily.  (The cosmetic bag is awesome because it is plastic lined and I’m messy.  The Little Betsy is a great bag to use for quick trips and vacations because it holds enough but isn’t too big.)

But my favorite piece – I purchased this year on sale – and it was one of the best buys of my life.

I’m really a tote bag kinda gal – cuz I like to take everything with me – keep it all at the end of my fingers – don’t want to forget anything.  But I often have to search to find the things I need.  So I started compartmentalizing – keeping smaller bags of things together – pens & paper in one, candies, gum and mints in one, fingernail clippers, hairbows and girly stuff in one, etc.  You get the idea.

I’ve always liked a good wallet so I could carry everything including our checkbook.  But for about the past year, we haven’t been writing many checks, so the need for a big wallet has diminised.

Enter Vera Bradley’s All-in-One Wristlet.

With 2 small girls and a lot of stuff to tote everywhere, I really don’t want to drag everything into every store.  This little baby gives me all my necessities and fits into a jacket or pants pocket.  It holds my cell phone, debit card, insurance card, discount cards, and has a pocket to tuck in dollar bills, as well as a zipper pocket to hold change.

PERFECT!

I keep it in my purse and take it with me, but more often than not when I go into store, I just pull it out of my purse and head in.  No Sweat.

It’ll be perfect for vacations and road trips, and because I chose the Mod Floral Pink pattern, it will coordinate with a lot of different purses (including brown which is my favorite).

It costs as much as some purses do.  But I’ll tell you what – it’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made.  And it is one Thing I Love!
