Baby it’s cold outside. Sort of, I feel like my version of cold is so different from real North Carolinians version of “cold”. Since I’m originally from Massachusetts, cold has a whole other meaning to me. Between the endless winters and blizzards, a North Carolina winter is basically a walk in the park. And while I’m still waiting for things to cool down here in NC, I’ve been on the hunt for fall to winter items that make a smooth transition into the holidays.

If you’ve been following along on my Instagram page, then you know Vera Bradley has been a brand fave of mine lately, meeting all of my needs as an on-the-go mom. I always said I wouldn’t be that mom with many bags, and here I am, I’m the mom that has many bags, many bags in many prints because apparently, Deidra as a mom means finding super cute Vera Bradley pieces to truly compartmentalize my life and as you all know, October is breast cancer awareness month, so I was gifted some darling Vera Bradley pieces that satisfy my obsession with prints and bags. Check them out.

Vera Bradley is also serving up a bit of plaid early this year to get you in the spirit of the holidays coming up. Now you all know how obsessed I am with plaid and mixing all the plaids around this time of year. Vera Bradley plaids are no exception to this rule and as with every VB piece, I love a good backpack because as a mom, being hands- free is the way to be. I’ve styled this bag three different ways using different accessories to give you some inspiration for the transition to winter. Check it out:

Hope you’ll love the new fall arrivals as much as I do. Check out my plaid backpack here. Here’s to a VB fall ya’ll.

Till next time.

Sincerely,

Deidra Marie
