One fall trend that I could NOT be more excited about is SPORTY CHIC. Sneakers, backpacks, sporty fabrics (like fleece, mesh, neoprene, and quilted and perforated leather) track pants, baseball caps, and varsity-style jackets are everywhere this season! And in my opinion, what’s not to love?! I can’t get enough of the cool vibe that these sportswear-inspired pieces give off. And the comfort and wearability can’t be beat! Comfy and cool? Count me in.

When you think of Vera Bradley, you probably think of bright, colorful prints and functional style. I was delighted to learn about their leather collection and even more ecstatic to find this quilted leather backpack. Unbelievably chic! Vera Bradley incorporates their fun patterns through the lining of the leather bags, which I love. And I love how the quilted leather subtly ties back to their signature styles, as well.

We’ll be seeing a lot of backpacks this fall, but I love how this one is super polished with the gold hardware and quilted leather. I know I’ll be wearing it all season long! It’s perfect for the weekends when you’re running errands so you can keep your hands free. Or even your morning commute so you have an extra hand for your coffee!
