I've been familiar with Vera Bradley for as long as I can remember. Middle school - stationary, High school - travel bags, and College - I.D. holding wristlets [phone, keys, ID, money - right]. Now that i'm mid-millennial what I look to from brands has also evolved. I'm not ready for a stuffy black leather work bag. Instead Vera's products are professional and pretty and don't worry - the lining stays true to the printed patterns that we all know and love. 

This young adult market is Vera Bradley's prime target for their new line of handbags. Women who want the fun of the brand identity, with the function of their products. Vera Bradley bags withstand the test of time and their stitching pattern is unmatched. After meeting the co-founder herself a few months back, I was sold back into the brand and particularly supporting of their new image. 

Clearly, i'm not alone. This gorgeous cross-body bag is sold out in fuschia, but not to fret - the other colors are just as vibrant. The best part? They don't break the bank! This beauty is only $78. I know, it's a steal. What do you think about the new line of handbags from VB?

It's been no secret that blush is my favorite color recently, and when the fiance picked me up this beautiful Tory Burch bag in blush for my birthday I was smitten. The pastel color is perfect for summer, but truth be told I can't wait to use this bag all year round. This is my first Tory but certainly not my last.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that Friday was the Persian New Year or as well call it, Navroz meaning "New Day". It is celebrated annually on March 21st and serves as my motivation to continue or restart my goals for the year. My list is extensive this year and there are plenty of things that I still need to go to - however completing the 30x30 Remix Challenge earlier this year, is certainly a great start. I like to consider this time a second chance to have a successful year.

Tomorrow is the big day! My fantastic giveaway begins tomorrow and will run until the following Tuesday. Be sure to visit tomorrow to enter (trust me, you won't wanna miss this!)

P.S. You may begin to see a few new locations on the blog in the near future. I will forever love my brick wall, but may venture out into a few new experiences.
