This past weekend Vera Bradley.com had Viva La Vera, Boysenberry and Lemon Parfait on sale for 60% OFF!! They also had a few specials, like the ribbon boards for $19.99, wristlets for $14.99 and Lizzy for $24.99. These were amazing prices, and I know plenty of ladies that took advantage of these rare prices. With Christmas coming up my mom stocked up on a few items, including my new laptop backpack in Viva La Vera!! (This wait is going to kill me!!)
Can you believe these prices?
I also ordered an old Saddle Up in Boysenberry for myself, and with my friend's $20 off coupon, I only paid $16 including shipping!! Look for the review coming soon!!
Did you pick up anything on sale? Let us know!!
Good deals! I hope you like the Saddle Up (older style) as much as I'm enjoying mine :>. Argh, the Ribbon Boards, after I bought one of course, were down to $19.99...and the Lemon Parfait Turn Lock Wallet was 60% instead of 50% off. However, I got all the Happy Snails and Blue Lagoon stuff that I wanted at the same time with those orders.
ReplyDeleteOhh, I did pick up a Miller bag in Happy Snails this week-end. I had a $10 off birthday credit, and it was also 50% off at that particular store. It was a steal!!
ReplyDeleteI went through ebates they had a deal $25 off your purchase of $100 or more! So I ordered the Va Va Bloom On the Go (I've been dying to get something in this pattern), Address Book in Boysenberry, Tablet Sleeve in Boysenberry & Kiss and Make Up Cosmetic in Lemon Parfait.
ReplyDeleteWith free shipping and $25 off I paid $83 (including tax)!!! Not bad since the On the Go is $70. For $13 more I got 3 items!
Molly-I want another Ribbon board so bad, but I always miss the sale!! I'm going to put my $20 aside so it will be ready next time, lol. I have the same Miller bag!! I'm finding that when I get something in a tote, I want the same print in a smaller bag, and vice versa.
ReplyDeleteTracy-My mom used that $25 off!! You are going to love your new On the Go. I can't wait to hear from you after you use it. You got a bunch of good other stuff.
I'm rushing home from work everyday wondering if my package is there! Nothing better then a box from VB :)
DeleteI actually bought an On the Go in Ribbons the day they were giving the free Ribbons coin purse earlier this month. I've stayed away from this style because I had it in Java Blue long ago but the strap wasn't long enough to wear crossbody at the length I like it.
I'm thrilled with the updates on this bag and now it's one of my favorite styles!
I started getting my packages delivered at work for that very reason. So glad you like the new on the go!!
DeleteI bought the ribbon board in Tea Garden for my daughter for Christmas. I also bought the on that note for my Aunt for Christmas in Boysenberry and the hatbox cosmetic in Boysenberry. I really wanted the small duffel in Boysenberry but it seems to be sold out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I kind of wanted to get another Ribbon Board, as I saw them online when they were on sale. However, I feel like I've had enough online orders recently and always feel the need to buy enough items to get the free shipping :>. Plus, I don't really have room for another one at my desk at work and not really sure where I would put one in my house. Haha, I think I did see the Happy Snails Miller bag in one of your previous posts. I agree, I have a Hipster, amongst other things, in that pattern, and now my "collection" of Happy Snails seems complete. Now I want something else in Paisley Meets Plaid, since I have that print in the weekender. I'm kind of thinking of the Three-O Tote. Have you heard anything about it?
ReplyDeleteMolly - I don't own the Three-O Tote but it is something I will debate on if I decide to pick up a tote - debate between that and the Vera tote. I like that the Three-O tote has the zipper closure whereas the Vera has the toggle but the size is smaller than the Vera (which could be better depending on your use). I really wish there was a tote in between the two (size wise) but with a zipper closure. Instead of buying the tote, I bought a Miller bag in the Twirly Birds Navy print. That is a BIG bag but it will be great for travel. I did get the Vera in Happy Snails and returned it. The print was too overwhelming in that size for me. I have a Mandy bag in the Happy Snails print that I'm actually thinking of returning. I really liked the print at first but now, not so much. I think I just like it in the smaller accessory type items. I have the kisslock wallet, Kindle cover, Tune In, umbrella, and keychain in Happy Snails. What bag would work with this print (even somewhat) that's not retired if I decide to return that Mandy bag? I'm thinking either something in ribbons or summer cottage but I don't know.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reply!! That is funny, I used to not really be a fan of Happy Snails until recently. It is a big pattern, and somehow I like it a lot more on the Miller bag than the Weekender. I also really preferred Paisley Meets Plaid in the Weekender over the Messenger bag. It is really strange how that works for me, it is not even that I like certain patterns in a smaller or larger bag. Somehow it seems more complex! I agree, I wish the Vera had a zipper and I didn't purchase it in Happy Snails for that reason as well. I think the Mandy is cute in the following prints that aren't retired: Ellie Blue, Indigo Pop, and Floral Nightingale. It is all personal preference, though, as I can't see myself buying something in Ribbons or Summer Cottage for myself.
ReplyDeleteBummer about the small duffel. I actually picked it up in Boysenberry when everything was 40% off and I love it! I have seriously carried it every weekend since I got it. (I stay over at my parent's house a lot, lol.) I would recommend picking one up, and if you're waiting for a sale there will be a big one after Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMolly-I've been debating on the Three O Tote for awhile now, and there's just something about it that always makes me leave it at the store. It is rather small, but I think it's the shape that turns me off.
The Vera tote does not have a zipper, and I love my zippers, but the Vera tote is a great bag. Y'all might want to look into the new Glenna, because it seems to be bigger and it has a zipper!!
The Glenna looks cute! I'm not sure about the newer winter colors..will have to see them in person.
ReplyDeleteThanks - I'll have to check out the Three-O Tote in the stores. It seems to have gotten pretty good youtube reviews.
ReplyDeleteI love love love my Boysenberry Saddle Up! I have the old Saddle Up in four patterns because I love it so much - have yet to try the updated version. Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteMolly-Does the Glenna look like the Pleated tote to you?
ReplyDeleteMK-I'm so excited. The pleats always turned me off in the past, but then I saw a lady with one at the Cookin' With Vera launch, and it was so cute on her. I'm excited to compare the 2 for ladies like yourself who have not tried the updated version.
The Glenna looks similar to the Pleated tote - the features of it definitely seem comparable, so I'm really excited! Not sure about the cinching, so I can't wait for the November 2nd release date, not as much for the new colors as the new styles :>.
ReplyDeleteAnd apparently the front of the Glenna has a huge pocket. I feel exactly the same way, more excited about styles than patterns. But for some reason I always end up with a million.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know the feeling! I didn't think that I'd like Provencal and Paisley Meets Plaid from the pictures on the website, and already have 1 item in each color and will probably have some things in each color on my Christmas wishlist as well! Debating of picking three out of the four items: the Mailbag, On the Go, Three-O Tote, or Glenna.
ReplyDeleteI want a mailbag!! I'm going to pink one up in Very Berry Paisley when it goes 40% off.
