What are your favorite Vera Bradley colors and bags/merchandise?

[doxiechic16]

In addition to my pony collecting habit, I also go nuts from time to time and buy various Vera Bradley bags for myself and for my mom.  I love a lot of the retired colors, especially Kensington, Java Blue, Night Owl, and Botanica.  I love the retired Betsy bags and the retired Morgan and have ordered some Mandys and Petite Totes to try out.  I have a Miller bag and a few larger totes (Vera and Villager) for carrying things to and from work and for travel.  I'm not sure how I feel about the more recent colors and styles, although there are a few that I think might grown on me with time.     

What are your favorite Vera Bradley colors and bags/merchandise?  Are you more of a fan of some of the older styles, or are there contemporary ones that you love and recommend?

I..have no clue who that is, but I can certainly relate when it comes to mum and guess purses.

The one im toting around is probably designer but I wouldn't know for sure.  She brought it back for me when she went to Las Vagas.  Its a spring aqua colour with some leather 3D roses with crystal on the edges

I love Vera Bradley I have five of the Vera style bag xD I use them for work and switch them out as the seasons change. I also like the Clare style! I used to be a one color person but I have a lot of colors now. I also have the comforter set on my bed in the Va Va Bloom color

I've never actually heard of them before so I guess I have no favorites.

Oh, I love Vera Bradley's designs 
My favorite Vera Bradley thing is unfortunately pretty much ruined, but it was cool while it lasted.  I had Vera Bradley eye glasses!  Oh gosh, they were so cool!  And they had a matching little Vera Bradley case!  Unfortunately, they got pretty trashed, between face planting into a fence post at a full run (ow), some rather interesting falls of my horse, and just daily wear and tear.  They look God-awful now (I kid you not, they are held together with a bent paper clip), but they're just my back up glasses since I replaced them.  The case still looks great though, probably since I never use a case for my glasses. 

Oh, and all my favorite patterns seem to involve generous amounts of pink and green
