Dreams of Jewelry

I swear VeraObsessed wants me to pass out from shock! I swear she does! So that lovely gal posted this on her FB page today and I'm surprised I am still conscious:

*** HOLY CANNOLI I CANT BREATHE! *** That's right, y'all! Vera is making new purty jewelry and cutesy summer keychains! WHAT are they trying to DO TO ME?!?! Anyone who knows me knows that I am a sucker for charm bracelets. I had a Juicy Couture problem after college, and it took a while for me to get over it. However, this Bobble Charm Bracelet that I see in Lilli Bell is MINE ASAP do you hear me??? I have a Bangle in Portobello Road and I love it, so I can imagine how much I'll love a pretty pink charm bracelet! From what I can see, all Summer 2013 colors as well as Plum Crazy and Ribbons will be featured in the jewelry. Since Plum Crazy is in there I'm assuming that maybe the rest of Spring 2013 will be featured too? I don't know anymore info about these pieces right now, but I will sure as heck update as I find out! I can't wait for these babies to come out, just the thought of having that bracelet slays me! I also wonder if they're going to make any necklaces or earrings. Oh the thought makes me dizzy with excitement! How do you all feel about this?!?!

Vera Land meets Disneyland!!!

SO I go on Facebook and I see a post from VeraObsessed that makes me drop dead!

Yup

Apparently the folks at the House of Mouse decided to take a trip to Vera Land and set up camp! There will be two ADDITIONAL prints this fall, both Disney inspired and just so darn pretteh!!!!

*__*

 So the names of the Vera-Disney lovechild prints are Just Mousing Around and Midnight with Mickey. In the pic above I can spot the Duffel and Hipster in Midnight with Mickey and the Vera tote and Cosmetic Bag in Just Mousing Around. I DIE.

Left: Just Mousing Around - Right: Midnight with Mickey

Soooooo I'm in love with both, but I could definitely name Midnight with Mickey my fave of the two (which is surprising since I live for the color pink). The minute I started reading the article I freaked out from excitement, then I got mad because I figured I'd have to go to the damn Disney park in Orlando to get my hands on one of these (they're also available at Disneyland in Cali) Then my rational side kicked in and told me to read on, and aside from eBay, I read that they would be available for online purchase at a later date (I hope "later" doesn't mean 2014 DEER GOD) Which one is your favorite?!

Spring Break Plans with Vera Part I

So on my last visit to the VB Store at Roosevelt Field, I was griping about my lack of pretty luggage and how I wish VB sold some in more prints other than Suzani (lovely print, but not my thing). My lovely saleswoman informed me that VB would be releasing some new luggage in Plum Crazy (my new obsession print) My mouth hit the floor!

Like that. See?

It's like they went through my dreams and pulled out the ones tagged #vera! Ha! I love it! Earlier this week, the wonderful VeraObsessed treated us to some lovely pics to the magic that is their 2013 Luggage Collection. all credits go to VeraObsessed (thanks gal!)

Can I just say that they are WELL WORTH the $200-$400 price range they're most likely going to be in? I'll save, buy piece by piece, get a second job, whatever I have to do to get my hands on them! So as you can see, the set includes:

27'' Spinner 

22'' Spinner

Rolling Duffel

Roll Along Work Bag

She didn't post any Upright Suitcases so I don't know if they'll have those available or not. I also don't know if they'll have them available in all the new Spring 2012 prints or not, but they picked my dream pattern for the preview images, and that's all I REALLY want to know!

Vera Bradley is retiring WHAT?????

So I'm checking out VeraObsessed on Facebook, and i come across something DISTURBING. VeraObsessed has been posting up the upcoming promos for the spring, and one of the May events is a Retirement Sale on the 23rd. For what prints? Brace yourselves:

Baroque (Winter 2010) - Summer Cottage (Summer 2012)

Limes Up (Summer 2012)

and surprisingly.... PAISLEY MEETS PLAID (Fall 2012) and PORTOBELLO ROAD (Fall 2012)

OH COME ON GUYS!!! I can understand prints that have been out for over 2 years or even over 2 seasons, but Paisley Meets Plaid and Portobello Road have only just come out. The new spring colors were released last month, meaning the Fall 2012 colors have been around for only a few months. NO FAIR! I'm not a fan of PMP, but I still think it deserves more time. And as for Portobello Road, let's just say that if I could marry a print, it would be that one! It's my first Vera print, I can't let her go down like this!! I'm just going to have to try and stock up while I can :-(
