Happy Friday friends! This week has flown by, and there is so much to catch up on! Life has gotten wild and crazy (more on that in a later post), but for now I’m so excited to share that I’ll be hosting an event TOMORROW with Vera Bradley in the Mall at Millenia here in Orlando! From 10:30am until 1pm on Saturday, September 21st, I’ll be in the Vera Bradley store for a fun sip-and-shop event celebrating the all-new Performance Twill collection! The Vera Bradley store is also hosting KeKe Van B. and she will be sparkling guests with their well-known fairy hair (I love mine!). Vera Bradley is also sweetening the event by offering $20 off any purchase of $75 or more! You won’t want to miss this event tomorrow!
As I mentioned above, Vera Bradley is celebrating their new Performance Twill collection and when I got my hands on the new Performance Twill Iconic Small Backpack (pictured), I fully understood why this collection is receiving so much accolade. This water-repellent backpack is the bag I never knew I needed, and this Florida gal is all about anything that holds up in the rain (it’s raining right now as I type). But I’ll tell you, finding something that’s cute AND can hang out in the rain is hard to come by, so this Berry Red small backpack with the iconic quilted stitching is making its way into my fall wardrobe and I. am. here. for. it.
From a casual I-just-dropped-my-kids-off-at-school coffee date to an outdoor dinner al fresco, Vera Bradley’s new Berry Red Performance Twill is the perfect bag to toss over your shoulder and go. Today I’m sharing three fall effortless outfits that will be on repeat this season, and why you need this bag too 🙂
1. Mom’s morning out coffee date at Barnie’s Coffee Kitchen
dress: LOFT // shoes : UGG // bag: Vera Bradley
When your kiddos’ school is just around the corner, stopping in to my favorite Barnie’s Coffee Kitchen is a no-brainer! I love these Ugg knit sneakers, and this chambray dress from LOFT (40% off right now with code NEWNOW) is one of those “easy” dresses that everyone needs to have. My Vera Bradley Performance Twill Iconic Small Backpack is the perfect fall pop of color. This Berry Red color is amazing!
2.) Happy Hour at the Wine Room
Dress: LOFT // Boots: old Louboutins that are sold out; similar at Target, Aldo, and Tory // bag: Vera Bradley
When I walked into LOFT in Winter Park two weeks ago, this dress spoke to me- I’m all about the bright whimsical pattern! And let’s be honest with ourselves, a white dress is 110% acceptable in Florida because #FloridaGirlFall. Is fall even a thing here? This dress is also 40% off today with code NEWNOW, and pssst… I’m actually wearing a petite for the higher waist 🙂 I’ve had these Louboutin boots for years now (and got them on maaaajor clearance at the Louboutin store in Houston!), and while they’re no longer made I did link several other pairs of boots that are for any budget!
3.) Dinner date al fresco at Armando’s
Dress: Old Navy // Jacket: Old Navy // Boots: Louboutin (sold out); similar at Target and Tory Burch // Hat: Stetson // Bag: Vera Bradley
This dress from Old Navy (on sale now!) is perfect for fall with these jewel tones, and I love how this midi dress has so much movement- it’s lightweight and effortless! I’ve had this distressed denim jacket for months now, and I can honestly say I grab this one more than I do my Levi’s one; maybe it’s the color that I love so much about it? Either way, Old Navy knows how to make a darn good denim jacket (and only $35!). This Stetson fedora actually came from a resale shop called Dechoes here in Orlando, and for $27 I couldn’t pass it up- it was basically a steal! My Vera Bradley backpack pulls this outfit together perfectly with the jewel tones, and the quilting gives a great mixed-pattern look without being too much.
See? You NEED this new Performance Twill backpack in your life! And don’t forget, you can get yours tomorrow with $20 off at the Vera Bradley event tomorrow from 10:30am-1pm at Mall at Millenia here in Orlando. I can’t wait to see you there!
