The Vera Bradley Reversible Tote – Two Looks in One!

December 11, 2009 By Dawn Leave a Comment

By now, most of you have probably already seen the Vera Bradley Reversible Tote, new for fall 2009. This bag is absolutely cute, and very versatile too!  In case you haven't had an opportunity to see it yet, here's a picture of one in the pretty Hope Garden print...

Vera Bradley Reversible Tote

I love it when the new patterns arrive at my local Vera store. One of the first things that I like to do is pick up the new purses and take a peek inside to see the liner fabric. I'm wondering - how many of you do this too!? As much as I love the signature patterns, there's been more than once that I liked the interior fabric as much (if not more!) than the exterior fabric.

New Vera Bradley Frill Collection Turning Things Inside Out!

July 10, 2009 By Dawn 5 Comments

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! [Read more...]

The Surprisingly Spacious Vera Bradley Stephanie

July 3, 2009 By Dawn Leave a Comment

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.  [Read more...]

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

July 1, 2009 By Dawn 2 Comments

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.   [Read more...]

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

June 29, 2009 By Dawn Leave a Comment

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: [Read more...]
