Vera Bradley Black Friday...oops BRIGHT Friday, All November Sales!

I know some of you have been wondering what will be on sale at Vera Bradley this week!  Well this post combines all the other posts that had some of that information and includes some new information.  It is kind of a lot to get through, but if you are looking for a good deal, it will be worth it!
First is the Holiday Sale, then the Bright Friday Promotion and then what is going on at the outlets!
Lets start with the colors and styles that are retiring and will be 25% off for the Holiday Sale!  While at the Vera Bradley store in San Francisco I picked up this postcard with the sale details, that makes a nice visual. The Holiday Sale will begin November 21 and run until approx. December 24.  I think that they added the approx in case  they run out of things.  This will be at participating Vera Bradley stores, participating retailers and on verabradley.com

Styles: Chain Lanyard, Lunch Date, Backpack, East West Tote, Laptop Backpack, Chain Bag, Hatbox Cosmetic & Gallery Wallet.

For a whole list of November and December promotions, click here!  I think that I want to take advantage of the Grand Tote promotion.
The outlets will be hosting their own deals!

This information is from the Leesburg Outlet webpage, so I would call your local outlet to see if they will be hosting the same sale. I am kind of tempted to pick up a Vera for $30 once they are on special AND $25% off!

For Sale on Ebay

I am at my parents house visiting and had a chance to go through the box of Vera Bradley stuff that I left here when I moved to the east coast.  I decided it was time to part with some of it and listed some on Ebay last night.  Some are new with tags and all are in excellent condition with the exception of the Petal Pink Large Backpack which is getting a little worn out.  If you are looking to add to your own Vera Bradley collection you can click here to check out what I have for sale.

Headed to California

I'm flying to California this morning! I hope the airline is nice to my new luggage!

I'll be in California for just over two weeks and will still do some blogging while I am there.

I had lots of Vera Sightings this morning but there were way too many people around to take any photos. My favorite is always when a guy has to carry a Vera. This morning a guy at security had a Night and Day Large Duffel.

15% Off Postcard

On Saturday I was shopping at the Vera Bradley store and when I checked out I was given this postcard to mail to whoever might be buying me gifts for Christmas.  On one side you make a list of things that you would like and on the other side you address it.   The 15% off is good between now and January 31, 2013.  I am dropping this one in the mail to my mom today.  Since it is good for so long maybe we will use it on the Spring 2013 colors which come out on January 9, 2013.  

If you don't get one when you check out, just ask for one. 

And here is photo from InstaGram of me with my Two Way Tote.  Follow me on InstaGram to see all my photos: @ohmyvera_official

YouTube Find: Things My Wife Makes Me Buy

A friend came across this video on YouTube and I thought that it would be funny to share.  This guy has a YouTube channel where he posted about what his wife makes him buy.  Most of the time he is complaining about how much she buys and how much she spends, but in this one he is impressed with how much they spent...or didnt spend at Vera Bradley.

Winter 2012 Vera Bradley Purchases

I went to Vera Bradley yesterday to check out the new Winter 2012 items.  I was really looking forward to seeing them and I knew that I wanted to pick up a Two Way Tote in English Rose.  The store has a beautiful winter display in the window!

Some of the anniversary bags along with some others 

My purchases: Little Black Bag & Two Way Tote in English Rose 

The inside of the Little Black Bag has a slip pocket and a small zipper pocket 

I think this style is going to be one of my favorites! 

There is a zipper pocket on one side 

And three slip in pockets on the other 

The back is the same as the front and has a border stripe down the middle

Below are two photos I took at the Hallmark in the mall.  I went in to check out what they had, but didnt buy anything from there. 

There displays are a little more packed than the ones at Vera Bradley, it can be kind of overwhelming to go through it all.  I did check out the bangles and belts while I was there. I definitely would like both!
