Vera Bradley... I'm obsessed.

OK so I recently got my first Vera Bradley and I'm just interested in what patterns/types of things you have from Vera Bradley or if you want one or whatever.

When I was like 9 or 10 or something my older friend had a Vera Bradley backpack that her grandmom had given her and I had wanted one SO much! I even went to a Vera Bradley store in our mall with her, but they were too expensive for me then. I think I had really liked Poppy Fields then, IDK.

So I am going on a trip to Washington, DC soon so I needed some sort of luggage. I have a suitcase, but it's kind of small and it stands up so to get to stuff you have to dig through other stuff and it is really annoying! Also, it's kind of little-kiddish because it is pale pink and has cartoon bugs on it. Also those bugs freak me out.

So I looked online for suitcases but all of them were way too expensive or not nice-looking, so I decided to visit Vera Bradley's website for the first time. Anyway, yadda yadda yadda, I ended up getting a large duffel Happy Snails bag.

I want to get more Vera Bradley 'cause I love my bag sooooo much and I love the Happy Snails on it- it has snails on it!!!!!!! and I am SO obsessed with snails!- Cute cartoon snails, though. Not real ones, much. I want to get ONLY Happy Snail-patterned things.

I went back-to-school window-shopping on Vera Bradley- you know, picking out things I want for back to school. Also, I have a coupon for $20 off a $75 purchase. These are the things I want (I am going to be using my duffel as my bookbag):

Pocket Stickies in Happy Snails (I'm not going to include "in Happy Snails" after this... everything is!)

Pocket Pals in Happy Snails (good for writing down homework and stuff, hopefully)

I Heart Eco Paper Pencils

ID Wristlet

I Heart Eco Notepad

Lunch Date (I would put this inside my duffel instead of just carrying it around)

So yep. Kind of a long start. So, any Vera Bradley wants, wishes, stories, etc... all go here!

(P.S. Please don't say I'm bragging or anything, because I'm not. I just wanted to make a V.B. topic because I know a lot of people are obsessed about them like me ^_^ )

My mom has one of each...I swear... Not really. But she does have a few......

Anyway.... My mom got me into it a little bit. She got me a ruffle looking bag in the retired purple and blackish design.... I have a wallet to match, but it normally holds my DS. Then I have a spring time limited edition. Green with blues and some yellows. Its one with a long strap and the criss cross design over the outer pocket. These both have perfect pouches for the tamago. I think so anyway.

My mom went to the Ft.Wanye show a few weeks ago.... She gave me this awesome little pink and white pouch thing. Cute. Then a Ipod holder.... Which converted to tamagotchi size.... Which turned it to a tama case. She really enjoyed it. Said it was more older designs and patterns but she got away with many nice things. Many things were on sale pricing. If you are close to Ft.Wanye... They are one of the test stores. Get items a month or two ahead of everyone else. It's pretty cool.... Next to the Brighton store. I've been in there a few times.
