We’re so excited to tell you – we now have the Vera Bradley Collegiate Collection in store! Our first school is the University of Mississippi. It’s cute, functional and it just screams Rebel Pride. What a perfect way to add to your Vera or Ole Miss collection! Looking for other university Vera? Let us know – more schools will become available based on demand!
Spring Break – that blissful break in the middle of second semester, giving you a taste of summer at the end of winter. Well, it is almost here, so it’s time to pack your bags. We have all your necessities for the different stages of your vacation, and we’re ready to help with any of your travel needs.
Up first, the RIDE. Whether driving or flying, you’ll want some activities. We’ve shown a Vera Bradley Preppy Poly cosmetic filled with Smickers, Smencils and a Vera Bradley diary – perfect for doodling, writing and playing hangman. Other items to throw in: a book, a card game or an mp3 player.
Of course, you also need somewhere to put your hard-earned allowance and your phone. We suggest the Vera Bradley preppy poly wristlet, which has a front zip pocket for your phone. May we also suggest a Vera phone case? This tropical print is cute, fun and functional. Keep your money from getting lost with a quotable coin purse, which fits perfectly in the wristlet with room to spare.
Of course, every spring break trip requires a travel bag. This preppy poly Vera Bradley duffel has the perfect amount of room. In case you’re flying, we suggest attaching a furball keychain to identify it. We’ll break down your packing list for you too! PJ’s: fluffy Candy Pink shorts, a Ragdoll & Rockets tank and Living Royal space puppy socks. Going to Dinner Outfit: Truly Me dress. Shorts outfits x 2: 7for All Mankind shorts, Ragdoll & Rockets long-sleeve hot pink tee and short-sleeve turquoise tee. White jeans outfits x 2: DL1961 white denim, Vintage Havana fringed tank and a Junk Food emoji-hearts tank. All-purpose footwear: jeweled Nina sandals. Plus, you’ll still have plenty of room for your beach bag and all your toiletries & accessories.
This small preppy poly cosmetic from Vera Bradley is the perfect size for accessories and small toiletries. We suggest a Bari Lynn pompom hair tie, the new Tonya Barlow tassel initial necklace, some Baked Beads earrings (if you have pierced ears), and some Ella & Mila nail polish. We’ve plenty of options to coordinate colors!
Last, but not least, no Spring Break trip is complete without a trip to the Beach or the Pool. Vera Bradley’s ditty bag is fully lined and comes in both pink and blue. We picked out a colorful Gossip Girl one-piece and some coordinating (not matching!) Havaianas. And of course, you’ve got to protect those gorgeous peepers, so we threw in some Quay sunglasses as well. Grab a VB beach towel and some sunscreen and you’re water-ready.
Today is opening night for the hit musical “Mama Mia!” at the Orpheum. If you can’t make it tonight, you have four more opportunities this weekend! Go here for showtimes and tickets. Want to know what to wear? We’ve got you covered with some outfit suggestions.
First up: Evening performances
When you attend a theatre performance in the evening, the dress code is fancier. Opening nights usually have the most dressed-up attendees, who may sport evening wear such as long gowns and tuxedos. A typical evening performance does not get quite that fancy. We’ve selected this hot pink dress from Un Deux Trois, but toned it down with accessories. A fun wristlet from Vera Bradley holds your essentials: ticket, lip gloss, tissues, money for snacks, and a silenced cell phone. The print and quilted cloth help to keep things casual, while the metal accents keep it from looking misplaced. Wear some sparkle, but keep it minimal. We’ve chosen these small earrings from Baked Beads. The Steve Madden wedges may have shiny jewels and shimmery fabric on top, but the rope-wrapped outsole keeps them more relaxed.
Next up: Matinee (Afternoon) Perfomances
Matinee performances are typically attended by more families and have a much more relaxed dress code. Jeans and capris are great, as long as you wear a nice top. Athletic shorts are out, but fun leggings and a cute tunic are in. The outfit from this post is a great example. You could even do a cute pair of board shorts and leather sandals in place of the jeans and wedges. Make sure to keep reading our blog – the next time a show’s on our event schedule, we’ll have a fun and easy guideline to putting together outfits for the theater.
Share your best theater-going look with us on instagram: @sachigirls. Most of all, have a great time at the show!
Distressed, white Tractr jean shorts are the perfect start to any summertime outfit. When you want to stand out, pair them with a bold shot of color, like this bright blue and multi-color printed top from Blinkwear. Style bonus: this top has a “shark bite” cut, so the sides are longer than the front and back. We’ve paired it here with a matching Blinkwear headwrap, a Vera Bradley smartphone wristlet, and some white sandals from Kenneth Cole Reaction.
This ensemble features a wonderful Mayoral dress with ruffled neckline and Nina Kids wedges in white eyelet. To balance the ruffle, we’ve accessorized with a chunky bracelet (another way to wear your favorite PeppercornKids necklace!), while necessities fit tidily inside the Vera Bradley all-in-one crossbody in Rio.
