New Summer Vera Bradley Patterns

With spring already here and summer slowly approaching there are some much needed items you need to attain when the April showers bring not only May flowers, but also hot sun and some icky weather.

 The Vera Bradley umbrellas are made of good quality and fun colors. I personally have two of them, one in Lemon Parfait (show above) and in Viva La Vera, a new summer pattern this season. I find them as great gifts for birthdays and holidays. Just a push of a button and you are dry.

 These mini coolers are nice keeping your drinks cold or maybe lunch meat for a picnic.

I am short, so these towels may not be for everyone because they are only about 5 ft long, but I have them in Viva La Vera and in Folkloric (shown above). The flipflops come in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large sizes, and are very comfortable. I have three pair in Sitting in a Tree, Deco Daisy, and in Folkloric(show above).

 These sunglass come in many different style and patterns, and though kind of pricey, they are wonderful glasses. When you purchase a pair they come with a cloth carrying bag. I have the "Ray Ban" style sunglasses in Baroque, and the Avaitors in Lemon Parfait.

These are the new Summer 2011 season patterns. Viva La Vera, Waterfall, English Meadow, and Deco Daisy. I find that the patterns Waterfall and English Meadow look very vintage because they are not as bright and vivid in person. The Viva La Vera is a very fun pattern. The Deco Daisy is a very classic pattern, and the inside material is houndstooth.

Luggage. Every year I buy some form of new luggage. Not all of my Vera Bradley luggage matches, but I like it that way. There are many differnt sizes and styles of bag luggage, carrying cases, laptop cases, etc. Anything you need luggage for, and bam! they have it.

These are the Spring 2011 patterns. Lemon Parfait reminds me a lot of Sitting in a Tree, and that's a good thing. Most patterns you find some how resemeble an older pattern so you can mix and match with out clashing. Folkloric reminds me of the 60's and 70's. When I see this pattern I think of "The Brady Bunch". Boysenberry is another pattern that mixes and matches except with Very Berry Paisley. Blue Lagoon reminds me of the beach and a nice summer getaway.

Some of these items can be pricey, but for fun colors and good quality I will buy Vera for forever!

Most Vera is sold in stores in malls or little boutiques around your city, but if you can't find a store near you there is ALWAYS verabradley.com

Thanks Vera Bradley for the images.

P.S. DON'T FORGET SUNSCREEN!
