Vera Bradley Spring 2012 Collection

This past week the new Vera Bradley spring collection came out online & in stores! I already had a sneak peek at the patterns through their blog, Inside Stitch, so I knew what they were, but I was unaware of all the new styles they were unveiling! They're all so cute, but there is one I'm particularly excited about...

(L-R) Island Blooms, Rosy Posies, Ellie Blue, Camellia

I really love the new patterns! Island Blooms is perfect for summer time. I love the brightness & boldness of the pattern. Rosy Posies has the Vera Bradley look, for sure. It's pink-themed, so of course I love it! Ellie Blue is adorable! It has little elephants on it, which reminds me of the old elephant pattern Pink Elephants (Spring 2007). Camellia is somewhat different, with larger flowers and leaves, but I really love the color palette! That light blue is one of my favorites.

These are just three of the new bags they released. The laptop travel tote is awesome - it has a divided interior with a padded sleeve for your laptop and the other side is a zip-top section. The sides zip down for "easy inspection" at the airport! I love the cinching on the Laura! The Abby is perfect for toting around during the summer.

The phone wristlet! This is what I'm so excited about! I've been oohing and aahing over the Michael Kors version of this, but I wasn't ready to spend that much on one. I expected VB to come out with an iPhone case first, but this is almost better since I already have a case! This one is more reasonably priced at $34.00.

Other exciting items that I didn't show include invitations, thank you cards, a revamped brush & pencil pouch, small photo duo, tablet sleeve, compact mirror & more! :)

Now that we're in the spring mood, if you need a desktop refresher, visit this page on the Inside Stitch blog for some cute wallpapers!
