Vera Bradley Sighting

Melissa had another Vera Bradley sighting!  Here is a girl at th SF conservatory of music waiting for the elevator.

Summer Release Parties

Even though the Summer prints have been out for a little bit Vera Bradley Signature Stores are having parties this week to help kick off the new prints. Some stores had their parties last night, like San Francisco and others are having their's tonight, like Sacramento and Glendale. I got an invitation to the San Francisco and Glendale parties and the invitations are so cute. The one for SF is in Night and Day and looks like a flip flop and it says that if you RSVPed in time you would get a free pair of flip flops. The one for Glendale was a postcard in the Call Me Coral colors and has a list of promotions going on all day. Today between 3pm-6pm you can get a Bucket Tote and a Taxi Wallet together for just $35! I think that my friend Amber was going to go take advantage of that offer. I wish I lived close enough to one to go participate in all the fun!

Mesh Flower Collection???

So someone posted about a Mesh Flower collection on the Vera Bradley fan page on FB. Has anyone seen pictures? I really want to know what they look like! It sounds like they are in Loves Me! I love Loves Me! This is probably going to be tempting!

Signature Store - San Francisco

San Francisco is the Signature Store that I have shopped at the most. I have a bunch of friends in the area, so I always make it a point to swing by the Bloomingdale’s Mall (that’s what we call it, it probably has a real name) to stop in a do a little shopping. This is the smallest of the 4 I have been to, but it is crammed with so much Vera!

My first time I went to the SF Signature Store I went with my friend Melissa. I was going to pick up a Cargo Sling in Yellow Bird for my Mom. When we got there the woman was super nice and helped me find the bag. When I looked at it, it was huge! I sent my mom a picture of it so that she could see how big it was. I asked the woman if they had anything similar that would not be as big and she recommended on the On the Go. The On the Go was the perfect size, so that was what I ended up getting for my mom. She still uses that bag a lot. I don’t remember if I bought a bag for myself or not. I do know that I got the Hugs and Kisses Photo Album (what a cute name!) in Raspberry Fizz for myself and one in Yellow Bird for my mom. It was a special price if you were making a purchase. Oops, I just remembered that the Hugs and Kisses Photo Album isn’t on the list of all my items. I didn’t come across it when I was getting all of that stuff together, so make my total number 113.

This was the day that Melissa finally came around and started liking Vera Bradley. Much like my sister, she was a little slow to like it. She bought her first pieces that day. But more on that later. I am still waiting for her to send me a picture and then I will write up about her and her Vera.

The store in SF also has some of the nicest employees. Actually I have never come across a VB employee I didn’t like. They are all so friendly. That is what makes shopping at one so great! I have even called up there to order stuff and have it mailed to San Diego. Sometimes if they are running a special in store promotion I will call up to order. Lately I have been ordered from Glendale though, because I can get it the next day if I order it early enough in the day before FedEx Ground picks up. Haha, I can’t believe I know that.

Where are my pictures?

I have no clue and I am at work. Will try to figure it out when I get home. Hopefully it just fixes itself. What a bummer!

Thirsty? Grab a water bottle!

If you ever go to a Vera Bradley Signature Store you might be lucky enough to get a water bottle. If you shop long enough, they will usually offer you one. I don’t know about you, but I work up a thirst shopping at a Signature Store. I can spend so much time in there! One time we asked for one, I forget who I was with, but I think that we asked at the Sacramento store. They are so cute! They always have them in the current colors. I have Daisy Daisy, Frankly Scarlet, Hope Garden, Symphony in Hue, Loves Me and Totally Turq. I don’t know why I have held on to them, they are just sitting on my counter taking up space. I still haven’t used the Daisy Daisy or Totally Turq. I think that it is time to let these bottles go. Make sure to pick one up next time you shop at a Signature Store!

Happy Anniversary to me!

Haha. I just realized I have been blogging for a month! :)
