Vera Bradley on Rue La La - Wednesday May 29

Tomorrow morning at 11:00am EST Vera Bradley will be on Rue La La, an online retailer that offers private two day boutiques of discounted name brands. 

Vera Bradley has been on Rue La La before and the largest selection always comes when a new sale starts, then any remaining items get rolled over into other boutiques.  Wednesday's sale should be a new set of Vera Bradley sale items.

Shipping is $9.99, but once you pay shipping once, you get free shipping for 30 days.  Vera Bradley probably won't come back up within those 30 days, but Rue La La has a great variety of brands and is one of my favorite shopping sites. 

It is invite only, so sign up ahead of time so you are ready to shop Wednesday morning for the best selection!

Vera Bradley Summer Sale - Shop the Outlets

The Vera Bradley Outlets have 50% off this weekend and for the first time ever they all have shipments of all the newly retired items and colors!  In the past Vera Bradley waited until the items were out of the Signature stores to have them available at the outlets.  This is a great benefit to customers because now we can get an even better deal on the sale items!  If you don't have an outlet near you, you can call and order from an outlet store and they will ship to you for just $8.   This sale makes the outlet stores swamped with in store shoppers along with the increase of phone orders, so remember that if you are calling a store to be patient and try to have your list ready to go so that the person helping you doesn't have to run on check on each item you want separately.   For a full list of outlet stores and their phone numbers you can click here to go to the Vera Bradley webpage store listings.

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope all the mothers reading this had a great Mother's Day!  One of the great things about being back in California is being closer to my family.  While I didnt get to spend Mother's Day with my mom and I did get to spend it with my grandma, aunt and uncle, and my cousins.  My aunt owns just a couple of Vera Bradley bags, so I was surprised when we both showed up carrying Island Blooms bags!  

 

The very first Vera I ever bought was a Bermuda Blue Vera tote for my mom to use at work since she is a nurse.  The one in the photo below is the second one I bought her to replace the first one, but this Mother's Day I went with a new color and bought her a Midnight Blues Vera tote.  She loved it!  I bought it back when the stores had a promotion to get two Clip Zip ID cases for free, so I got her one in Indigo Pop because that the time they were out of Midnight Blues.   

What did everyone else give/get for Mother's Day?   Side note: Right now you can get 14% cash back from Ebags when you go through Ebates.

Vera Bradley's Winter 2013 preview started today and goes through May 20th! I am so excited to see Canterberry Cobalt, Canterberry Magenta and Venetian Paisley in person.  Since I moved to California, so I not near a preview store anymore, but I have a friend picking up a few bags so I can get photos posted on the blog really soon, so check back!  Venetian Paisley looks more blue in person than the photo which looks a little purple to me.    Back in the beginning of April I announced which colors would be coming out in the winter, you can see that post by clicking here.  

    Some Vera Bradley stores and a few retailers will have the Winter colors in the following styles: Glenna, Hipster, Tote, Vera Tote, Grand Traveler, Campus Backpack, Medium and Large Cosmetic, Euro Wallet & Turnlock Wallet.
