The colors going on sale are Barcelona, Slate Blooms, Twirly Birds Navy & Hello Dahlia.  The styles going on sale are Large Hobo, Julia, Angle Tote, Opera Wallet & Trip Kit.  And the Summer Canvas will also be going on sale.  
I am kind of disappointed to see the Angle Tote on its way out.  I actually one own one, but I have bought, returned, exchanged a few along the way.  They are a great size to use as a large purse.  I will definitely be picking some up on sale!

I'm back from vacation

Hi Everyone! I am finally back from vacation! I had a great time last week with my Mom and sister. We spent a couple of days in San Francisco and then spent the rest of the week in Sacramento. I was able to go to TWO Vera Bradley stores on my vacation! My mom and I went to the Vera Bradley store in San Francisco and I picked up a new pair of sunglasses! I haven't taken a picture of them yet, so maybe later this week I will post a picture. I returned the Emma that I purchased last time. It was just too small for me, so at least that helped pay for my sun glasses.

We went to Roseville to visit my Mom's friend for lunch and we were right across the street from the Vera Bradley store, so of course we went over to check it out! Plus it was the day that Crossroads and Wildwood Park were released! I love Wildwood Park, but just wasn't ready to spend that much. I would love to get the Frame Handbag!

Which one did I end up getting? See photo at bottom to find out!

San Diego Fair

Yesterday I had an amazing time with my mom and sister at the fair. At the last minute I switched up my Tote for my Saddle Up. If I am going to have to carry my bag all day there is no way I am taking a shoulder bag. I don’t know why I even tried the Tote. I have never bought a Hipster, but now that they are retiring I might get one in Loves Me.

My sister had a Vera Sighting of her own and snapped this picture of me and my mom when we weren’t paying attention.

We walked through one of the exhibit halls that had just plants and flowers and I saw this table of Dahlias. I had to take a picture since one of the new Fall prints is Hello Dahlia. Who is excited for July 8?! I am!

I also want to say thanks to everyone who checked out my blog after it was posted on the Vera Bradley facebook page! That was really exciting for me and I am happy to have new readers!
