If you weren’t already aware, this summer I interned at Vera Bradley in Fort Wayne, IN.  This is where the company started, and where it is still headquartered today, almost 30 years later.  I wanted to intern for Vera because I heard great things about the company, the corporate culture, and of course…the bags.  I have a slight obsession…that every person notices when they walk into my room for the first time.  as soon as someone walks into our room, they see my closet…which is basically stocked full of Large Duffels, totes, and everything else Vera Bradley that doesn’t fit in other places around the room.  When I was taking pictures of my room for the blogs I posted earlier this week, I noticed how overrun with Vera that my room truly is.

So, I guess that this blog is serving as a way for me confront my issues (no matter how beautiful they are)….

Hi, my name is Stephanie, and I am an addict.  A Vera Bradley addict.

Prepare yourself…..

And….that’s it.  I know, I have entirely too much Vera Bradley…but I love being truly prepared for everything that I do as a college student, and that wouldn’t be possible without my 2 Totes, my Vera, my Messenger, and everything else that I use on a daily basis.  I also think it helps to note that I did receive a pretty amazing discount all summer long at my internship, which made buying most of these items much more affordable for my college student budget.
