New Vera Bradley Frill Collection Turning Things Inside Out!

Jul 10th, 2009 by Dawn

When is the next Vera Bradley Outlet Sale? I have had a lot of people ask me this question! Right now, the next sale is scheduled for April 28 - May 1, 2010, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It doesn't look like there will be a fall sale this year. To keep current with news about the outlet sale, as well as giveaways and more, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed or follow me on Twitter...

I am soooo in love with the Vera Bradley Frill collection!  If you have not seen these new fall 2009 styles yet, here are a few pictures...

Vera Bradley SOI in Pirouette

First up is the SOI (So Over It) tote in Pirouette. If you remember, I said that I would probably not be buying anything this fall in this pattern.  Ummm, I lied.  There is no way that I will be able to resist this adorable tote. I love plaid, and I love this bag.  Everything about it.  Absolutely everything!

Vera Bradley GTG Wallet in Carnaby

How cute is this wallet! This is the new G2G (Got to Go) wallet in the Carnaby print.  I want one.  No, I want three!  Of course, I will have no money to put into it.  You thought I was kidding about having to join a ten step program to cure me of my Vera Bradley addiction, but if they keep adding new items like this, I'm going to have some real problems!

Vera Bradley YTB Handbag in Blue Rhapsody

Finally, here is the YTB (You're the Best) handbag in Blue Rhapsody. Don't you just love it!  You can wear it over your shoulder, or take off the removable strap, and carry it in your hand.  I can't wait to see this in person! Continue Reading »

The Surprisingly Spacious Vera Bradley Stephanie

Jul 3rd, 2009 by Dawn

At 14” x 9½”, I knew the new Vera Bradley Stephanie was a good-sized handbag.  However, I didn't realize just how much it could hold until I saw it in person.  It expands up to six inches wide.   When you consider that the average width of most handbags is four inches, the additional two that this one provides really does make a big difference.

The spacious Vera Bradley Stephanie is also really cute!  A couple of the new fall 2009 bags are now featuring chrome-colored O-ring details.  This bag is one of them, with the rings on each side stylishly connecting the double straps of this purse to its body.  Continue Reading »

I Saw the Vera Bradley Saddle Up Bag – On QVC.com…

Jul 1st, 2009 by Dawn

I had heard rumors that QVC was adding my favorite handbag line to its product lineup.  However, I was recently surprised to find the new Vera Bradley Saddle Up bag on their website...

Why the surprise?  Well, I guess I just assumed that they would be carrying overstocks or discontinued items.  However, the Saddle Up bag is new for the fall 2009 season, and there it was, available on the mega-shopping channel's website, in fall's new colors of Blue Rhapsody, Carnaby and Pirouette.  At the time I saw it on their site, it was selling for about $6.00 less than the suggested retail price of $65.00.   Continue Reading »

What Do You Think About the New Vera Bradley Pleated Tote?

Jun 29th, 2009 by Dawn

I'm just curious what others think of the new Vera Bradley Pleated Tote.  Of the new fall 2009 styles, this is THE bag for me.  I love it!  However, I have to confess I always go for the larger bags - and at 14¾” x 14” x 5¼”, this one is big.  One of these days I will probably get a lecture from my chiropractor, but as a mother, there are just too many things that I can't leave home without!  I can fit everything I need (and want!) to carry in this bag.

However, in addition to its size, there are a few other reasons why this tote receives my vote for the best bag of 2009: Continue Reading »

Vera Bradley Bali Blue, Bali Gold, and Calypso

May 20th, 2009 by Dawn

The new summer 2009 patterns, Vera Bradley Bali Blue, Bali Gold, and Calypso, have been out for about a month or so now.  Hopefully, you have had a chance to see them in person.  If not, here are some pics...

I'm still debating which of the three is my favorite.  While I sit here and ponder, I thought I would put up a quick poll to see what everyone else thinks.  So, here it is...

Which Vera Bradley Summer 2009 Fabric Pattern is Your Favorite?

It's so hard to pick a favorite, isn't it!

I like the overall look of Calypso. Nautical navy blue and crisp white looks great together, and it's a perfect color combination for not only summer, but really any time of the year.

However, I also really love the Bali Blue and Bali Gold fabric patterns.  Both feature a pretty tropical print of orchids and palm leaves.  The blue features cooler hues of ocean blue, with accents of white, green and brown.  The gold pattern, on the other hand, is in warmer tones of pink and plum on a sunny yellow background.

Vera Bradley Super Tote on Brothers and Sisters

May 18th, 2009 by Dawn

Vera Bradley Super Tote Cupcakes GreenI am a few months behind on this one, but did anyone else see Sarah looking at the Vera Bradley Super Tote in Cupcakes Green on Brothers and Sisters when she was shopping for a baby shower gift for Kitty?

I don't watch much television, but there are a few that I allow myself the guilty pleasure to watch.  However, I always record everything on our DVR (similar to a TIVO), so that I can skip through the commercials.  Anyway, I have several episodes of Brothers and Sisters recorded, and I'm just finally now getting around to watching them.

Vera Bradley Messenger Bag Giveaway!

May 15th, 2009 by Dawn

The Vera Bradley Messenger Bag giveaway is now closed.  Thanks to everyone who entered!  I will be giving away even more great products here, so make sure you check back in...

It's time for another giveaway!  This time I am giving away a brand new Vera Bradley Messenger Bag in Mod Floral Blue.  The details regarding how to enter this giveaway can be found below.

Messenger bags are one of the most versatile styles on the planet!  I think that's why I love them so much.  I purchased my first one to carry back and forth to work.  At first, I thought I would just be stuffing paperwork in it, but I soon found I was using it for much more than that - water bottles, snacks, change of clothes, and other odds and ends.  It could carry practically everything, and I definitely put mine to good use!

Anyway, here's a picture of the one that you can enter to win...

Day 3 Markdowns at the Vera Bradley Outlet Sale

May 1st, 2009 by Dawn

I just returned home from Day 3 of the Vera Bradley Outlet Sale.  They still have a great selection, and now they are starting to mark their already low prices even lower.  Here's a quick look at some of the bargains I saw:

Curvy Totes (regular $62.00) - now only $10!  I picked up a few.  They had a great selection of colors available - Night Owl, Riviera Blue, Pinwheel Pink -  but they were going fast.

Cargo Sling (regular $90.00) - now only $15!  Again, they had a great selection, especially of the fall 2008 patterns, but some of the patterns were disappearing faster than they were being put on the table.

Baby Bags were only $35.00.  They still had a good selection of these, especially in both spring and fall 2008 patterns. Garment bags were under $30.  Large tic tac totes were around $15.00 - small ones were about $12.00. Continue Reading »

Day One of the Spring 2009 Vera Bradley Outlet Sale

Apr 29th, 2009 by Dawn

If you missed it, earlier today I posted the price list for the Spring 2009 Vera Bradley Outlet Sale. I am really excited about the prices this year. During previous sales, the prices generally started at 40% off, and were marked down a little more each day. This year, many of them are already starting at rock bottom! For example, the Cargo Sling, which normally retails for $90.00, was only $32.00. The Hipster, which costs about $55.00 full price, was only $18.00. Many of the items are starting at 60-70% off. I'm not sure how much more they will be marked down, but when I go back later this week, I will let you know. Continue Reading »
