Vera Bradley lovers... help would be appreciated!

[housetomouse]

I am so excited for the new releases! I like the colors. I purchased a Mocha Pink Small Cosmetic bag a few months ago when I happened to be at my local VB store on a preview day! The new bags are cute...the attache case is adorable. I also saw a blankie/throw type item on the video on Inside Stitch! If that is actually going to be released with the fall items I will be purchasing one immediately!! The VB.com site has the new items up and you can through everything. Although the blanket is nowhere to be seen as of yet.

Oh Vera you are so tricky! Always so skilled at taking money from my wallet!

love it!!!

I think I'm going to get hooked by the Mocha Rouge. I'm a sucker for pink (just ask my Very Berry Paisley pieces lol!). I saw that throw and I love it too. I am aiming small (for now...) and think I want to buy an Accordion Wallet. Although the Grand Traveller looks interesting... and did I see there is an XL duffel?

Well, now after seeing the video on youtube for Mocha Rouge I think I really like that print too! I might have to get the new little wristlet in that. (I think it's called the double ID wristlet). Clearly I have a sickness. LOL.

I think Mocha Rouge has both black and brown in it, so it's extra versatile... I don't know what piece I should get in it, though.

Our local VB vendor poasted on FB last night that they are having a big sale! Guess where I'm headed today! I'm sure it's to clear space for the new Fall line, but that's OK by me! There are a lot of things in some of my favorite older patterns that I've had my eye on!

 

[Honeibee]

OK, well, I DVR'd the VB QVC show last night and watched it over coffee this morning. (I think it's a sickness! LOL!!) Anyway, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sunset Safari! I really don't need another tote bag but it's SOOOO tempting. I am mulling it over. (Translated: I'm just giving it a suitable amount of time to I can tell myself I really do need it and it's a good bargain today blah blah blah. )

I went to the VB at the outlet mall over the weekend and found great deals. Everything in the store (other than rolling luggage), was an additional 30% off. And they had the summer patterns! It was crazy -- I know they were making room for more stock, but I'm so pleased I got a couple of items in patterns I really like but hadn't been able to get.

Is it wrong I want to go to my Hallmark after work and see what's new today?!

Darn, I missed it. Will they be having VB stuff on again?

On our cable service it's on a couple of times today.

My problem solved itself, since the featured tote bag on QVC in Sunset Safari sold out. Well, that's OK, I didn't really care for the pockets on the outside.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

[Honeibee]

Ok, soooooo....a couple of times a week I volunteer at our local animal shelter and last night I had a shift and coincidentally our local VB retailer is on the way so I left a little early and just stopped in...just to see...thinking they wouldn't even have the new stuff out yet.... and what do you know! They were just putting it out!

I left there with a Mandy in Safari Sunset!


CLEARLY I have no self-control.

FYI if you are an AAA memeber you can go to the office next to the food court and get a discount booklet which gives you 25% off any one item anytime at the outlet so even if you see something you want in the Hallmark store, you most likely will get it much cheaper at the outlet.

CLEARLY I have no self-control.

Neither do I! I went to the VB store on July 7th...as soon as it opened. I left with a Vera Tote, a Shower Caddy (that I have ZERO use for but just could not pass up!), and the new larger laptop sleeve, all in Mocha Rouge. I also purchased two notebooks in Plum Petals...The Eco notebook and the composition book. Oh...and I got one of the new lunch bags for my step daughter in Happy Snails.

I went to "look".

*ahem*

I did look.

Then I bought.



My husband didn't quite see all the stuff I brought home b/c I may have forgotten to get it out of the trunk...then I smuggled it inside when my husband was in the basement. My step daughter and I squealed and ohhhhed and ahhhhhed over the loot whilst trying to stifle our giggles every time my husband would shout through the door "What are you two DOING in there?!"

best. day. EVER!!!

 

[Honeibee]

Nice work!!! I see that I am not alone...

Is that the new lunchbag that looks like a little purse, and had a plastic lining? I almost got that. It is sooo cute!

I did that, too! They couldn't take the 25% coupon with the 30% off the entire store, but I will keep it in mind for the future! I go to the Hallmark a couple of times a month, the outlet is an hour away, so I don't see it being a frequent trip for me, unfortunately.

Add me to those confessing...I went this afternoon and bought a Mandy in Plum Petals. It was so cute --- and I got a great little free gift, it looks like a tiny purse in Plum Petals, and you open it and its two mirrors. It even has the VB tag sewed on the back!

I have to admit, I was also drawn to the Sunset Safari, I'm sure I'll end up with something in that before the season is over

I got the Mandy in Plum Petals too! And since I had some gift cards and I get a discount, I also had to get a new wallet. I decided to get the gallery wallet in Safari Sunset. For the two items I only had to pay a little more than $20 out of my pocket.

Here's a picture...so pretty!

 

[Honeibee]

I wasn't sure about Plum Petals until I saw it IRL and I love that one too! But, well, I had to stop at just one thing. Well, except for that little Ipod/Earbud thing I bought in English Meadow. Wow, the Mandy in Plum Petals is REALLY pretty!! I am thinking about a laptop sleeve in Plum Petals. Just thinking, mind you...

Make a note on your calendars! August 9th they are releasing the handbag (kind of a rectangular barrel shape) in the new four Fall prints for $29 each. I think I might need the Safari Sunset!

There's also going to be a blanket coming this Fall, not sure on the release date for that one yet...

Maria

 

[housetomouse]

I will confess too! I bought a mini-hipster in Mocha Rouge! It takes me a while to warm up to new colors, so I didn't do too much damage yet

Ohhh thanks. I've been looking into getting a handbag.

 

[Piecey]

I am so, so, so sad that they are discontinuing the Morgan.

It is my new favorite! I so wish now I'd ordered 3 or 4 when they were $17.99.

I ordered 1in Barcelona, unsure if I'd really like it, and I LOVE it!

I ordered 1 in Twirly Birds Pink off of eBay and got it today. So pretty!

I had a job interview in the next town over and somehow I just knew there was a VB retailer nearby. So I drove only a little out of my way to see what they had. A few different things than my usual retailer has but I can't find anyone within a reasonable driving distance that has kitchen accessories. I'd like to see some placemats and napkins. So sad... So I MapQuested my closest Outlet. Three darn hours away.
