My Favorite Wallet - Vera Bradley Turn Lock Wallet

I used to have this faux crocodile teal color wallet...I used it for a long time even when I fell in love with Vera Bradley bags.  Back then Vera Bradley didnt make a wallet big enough for me, the biggest one was a Zip Around Wallet and I wanted more space.  My mom bought a Turn Lock Wallet in Microfiber and I was hoping that they would add it to the Signature Collection because it was the perfect size.  Well, it happened!  They added it to the Signature Collection, but my old wallet still had some life in it and I love a good deal so I decided that I could wait until I could get one on sale. 

On March 22, 2010 about a month after I started writing OhMyVera my new wallet arrived!  Click here to see that post.  Part of me though about waiting until March to do a 2 year update once I figured out that I bought it in March...but now is as good of a time as any. 

This wallet is the only wallet that I have used over the last two year.  On occasion I will use a small wallet for a night out when I use a small bag.  Other than that, this is what a wallet looks like after daily use for almost 2 years! In a couple of the photos it looks a little faded, but it is just the bright sun coming through the window. 

 This is the front of my wallet. 

Worn out corner...at least there are two layers of material!  

Another worn out corner...this one doesnt look as good.   

Worn out on the other side, but this spot has two layers of fabric as well...this is one of the faded looking photos...not really that faded, still quite bright.  

See still bright :)  Wear on the corner and paint coming off the zipper.  

But look at all this space! All those cards, plus there is a larger slot behind the top and bottom part for more cards or whatever you would want to stick in there.  

 This is the zipper side!  I have my LivingSocial deals, a calendar, lottery ticket and cash.  I should have taken the photo the other direction...there are 6 more card slots on the cash side. 

And the final photo is of the coin part on the back.  
I just bought an Accordion Wallet from a friend in Happy Snails that I am going to try out.  I am just not quite ready to retire my Turn Lock Wallet though...when I switch it over, I will definitely post photos! 

Matchy Matchy

So normally my purse and gym bag don't match. I take my Night Owl Miller bag to the gym and sometimes use it for a change of clothes for after work. I don't really have a lot of purses that match or coordinate with Night Owl. Today I am carrying my Simply Violet Angle Tote and that doesn't go. Last week I carried my Cupcakes Green Tic Tac Tote and I kind of liked the way they looked together! Maybe because they are both bright bold colors. I took a picture of them together. I should see what else coordinates in my closet.

If I thought that I was going to live in my place a lot longer I think that I would put a few hooks in my hallway and use my bags as decoration! I could hang a tote bag in the back and then a purse in front of it. Plus maybe I would be more likely to swap them out more if they were super easy to get too and not stuffed in the closet.

Vera Explosion

My sister and I are baby sitting for my cousin for the weekend. My sister walked into the room and called my corner a Vera Explosion, I guess it is a lot of Vera for 2 days.

Favorite Vera Sighting

My sister had a Vera sighting and for some reason this one is my favorite, probably because I laughed when I opened the message from her.

Yep, she found a Cupcakes Green Nail File in the middle of street. And no, she did not pick it up.

So crafty!

All the crafty stuff I ordered was sitting on my desk when I got to work on Monday! I will take a few more pics and tell you more about it later this week. So excited!

Look what arrived today...continued

I am so excited my new Vera Bradley stuff arrived today! I got such a good deal on it, so Mom, don’t worry that I am spending too much!

First off everything was 25% off. Then I had a coupon for $25 off any purchase over $100. And lastly I was able to get the Quickstep Wallet for $15, which was what put me over the $100.

Here is what I got:

4 Cupcakes Green Placemats
4 Cupcakes Green Napkins
Cupcakes Green Turn Lock Wallet
Cupcakes Pink Notebook
Poppy Field Quickstep Wallet

I am so excited because I have always wanted placemats. Cupcakes Green goes with my blue plates, so I had been waiting for them to go on sale. The wallets that I have are the smaller ones like the taxi wallet, which I don’t think make good everyday wallets, so I am excited to have a Vera Bradley wallet that I can use all the time.

So many good deals!

There are so many good deals right now! You already know that Cupcakes Pink and Cupcakes Green are on sale. They will be on sale online until they run out and in stores until March 17th. I have always wanted to buy placemats, so I think that I am finally going to get some in Cupcakes Green!

Right now you can get free shipping on all online orders over $75 until March 17th.

Next week in stores they will be offering Patchwork Quickstep Wallet. It is $15 with any purchase and will be available from March 15th to March 29th. It will be in all 4 of the spring colors. I am going to get one in Poppy Fields! I am such a sucker for a gift with purchase!
