OhMyVera: International Readers

So through Google Analytics I can tell a little about my blog readers and know that I have readers all over the place, but recently I have started getting contacted by more international readers! 
The most recent was from a reader in Japan and she is a fellow blogger, so I just wanted to share her blog with you. I love the layout of it!http://techoo.net/verabradley/
I have also heard from readers in Costa Rica and Australia in the last week!
It is really fun to hear from Vera Bradley fans from around the world.  Some of you might not realize, but Vera Bradley doesn't ship internationally, so it can be hard to get the bags in other countries.  That is what most of the emails are about. 
So if you are reading this from another country, it would be great to hear where you are!  Please leave a comment and let us know where you are from and maybe share your favorite Vera Bradley bag or color.

My Vera Bradley Plum Petals Abby From Rue La La

Last week Vera Bradley was on Rue La La and they had some great deals.  I just couldn't pass up this Plum Petals Abby because I have been wanting an Abby for a while!  It was only $35.90 on Rue La La, and is on sale for $54.40 on VeraBradley.com and was originally $68!

I was so excited when my Rue La La package arrived today!

 Love these packages when they are on my porch :)

 New Plum Petals Abby all wrapped up. 

The inside has 3 slip in pockets and a zipper pocket.  Plus there are pockets on the ends of the outside.  

So cute!

Vera Bradley Back to Campus Catalog for Fall 2012

Yesterday was the big day! The first set of Vera Bradley Fall 2012 colors were released: Indigo Pop, Va Va Bloom and Paisley Meets Plaid.  I love these colors, they are so bright and fun!  I picked up an Indigo Pop Hipster during the preview and I love using it.  It goes great when I am just wearing a basic t-shirt and a pair of jeans.  I can't wait to pick up something in Va Va Bloom!  I thought this one was a little bright when I saw it at the preview and wasnt too excited about any of the pieces they were previewing it in, but now I am excited to check it out in a Mailbag or maybe the Smartphone Wristlet.  I will have to see if I can make it to a Vera Bradley store this week! 

I picked up a copy of the Vera Bradley Back to Campus Catalog last week on my vacation to California.  Here are the photos of the catalog, but it can also be found online by clicking here.  Check out the Vera Bradley video at the bottom of the post too! 

If you picked up one of the new styles, I would love to hear about it!  Leave a comment and let us all know what you think!

Vera Bradley Microfiber Clutch

Still getting back into the swing of things after returning from vacation in California last week. I had a heck of a time getting back to the east coast with all of the storms and was re-ticketed 5 times!!!  Made it home 24 hours later than expected, but at least I am back! 

Here is a photo of my and my Vera at the wedding that I went to.  I couldn't find my gold purse, so black had to do :) I love this Black Mircofiber Clutch!  It holds so much stuff and the zebra lining is really fun.

Which bag do you carry to weddings and special occasions? 
PS. I hope you all enjoyed the first day of the Vera Bradley Fall 2012 launch!
