Social Sunday

I'm linking up for Sunday Social again this week.

Favorite handbag you've ever owned

Prior to my Vera Bradley obsession, I've never really been into purses. I really only started carrying one regularly when I was a senior in high school because my school banned backpacks during class.

So, of course, I'm gong to have to pick a Vera as my favorite and really it has to be a tie between the two styles that I've actually owned more than one of.

This is my first Vera Bradley Hipster in Petal Pink and I also have one in Totally Turq. I love the Hipster for travel. I don't need to carry most of my usual stuff on vacation, so I can go smaller. And I can actually fit quite a bit in my Hipster. I carried it every day of our 10 day Honeymoon and it was perfect. I love that I can wear it crossbody and keep my hands free which is important when you like to take lots of pictures when you travel, like I do.

My other favorite is my daily purse, the Stephanie, shown here in Totally Turq. I'm actually on my third Stephanie currently in Make Me Blush. I love the Stephanie because it holds all my stuff very well. It has plenty of pockets and the shoulder straps are the perfect length. I'm actually quite sad that Vera Bradley retired this style. Hopefully the Whitney will work well for me next year.

Dream handbag you lust over

Considering I've been carrying the Vera Bradley Stephanie for 3 years in a row now, you can probably tell I stick with what I like. There isn't really any dream expensive handbag that I really want. I'm not a Coach girl and while Kate Spade often has cute ones, I didn't see anything I liked in her current collection.

But, I did remember a designer purse that I wouldn't mine owning!

A Disney Dooney & Bourke Letter Carrier in Pink Sketch. It would be a fun purse to carry at Disney World. Practical? Probably not, but it's still cute!

 Daily essentials in your purse or work bag

What's in your purse(with pictures)

I'm going to cheat and combine these two questions because I pretty much only carry what I deem essential in my purse anyway. Although my mom would probably say otherwise since she thinks my purse is too heavy.

This is everything I carry on a daily basis:

I always have my phone as well, but it didn't make it into the picture. I often also have a book stuffed in there just in case I have to wait somewhere.

And yes, I do carry so many lip glosses, they have their own bag. Although it's not just lip gloss in there:

There's also some hand lotion and some Catholic paraphernalia that I carry just in case I feel the need to attend confession. There are usually some pens and pencils stuffed in there too.

I do have to confess that I actually cleaned out a bunch of receipts from the bottom of my purse before I took those pictures. So thanks Social Sunday for helping me clean out my purse!
