Vera Bradley Coupon Code: 10 WAYS TO CONNECT WITHOUT COFFEE OR COCKTAILS

As you get older, it seems harder to find time in your busy schedule to meet up with your friends. You obviously want to make time for the important people in your life, but sometimes your calendar (and wallet) don’t always make it easy. If you are able to catch up with your college roomie, it’s usually over coffee or cocktails, right? After so many meet ups with martinis and lattés, your wallet (and waistline) may be suffering. Break the routine without breaking up a friendship and try reconnecting with one of these alternatives.

Whether you’re staying in and Netflix bingeing or going to your local drive-in, movie nights are a great way to spend time with friends. We’re partial to drive-in movies for the casual atmosphere. Go in a group and bring a blanket, snacks, drinks and even yard games. Get there early to play a few rounds of cornhole and then enjoy your snacks while you watch the movie – or don’t, because at the drive-in, you can talk all you want!

One of the easiest ways to meet up with a friend during the busy workweek is to go to a workout class together. Knock out your daily exercise while spending time with a friend. Bond while breaking a sweat at Soul Cycle or chat while your burn it out in a barre class. Go in on a Vera Bradley Coupon Code with a few friends to save your wallet.

You were already planning to swing by your local farmer’s market anyway, so why not invite your girlfriend along? You can catch up while munching on fresh kettle corn and picking out your produce – and who doesn’t love to spend their fall mornings outdoors? Answer: No one.

Learning something new together provides plenty of memories and time for girl-talk. You can extend your farmer’s market trip and bake a delicious pie together with the apples you bought that morning. This way, you can have your pie and eat it too!

Few things bring people together like a shared love of sports. Gather up your girls, grab a few throw blankets and take your love of football to the outdoors. Tailgating is a great way to see multiple friends at once, while staying on a budget. Make it a potluck and have everyone bring their favorite game-day snack. Dibs on buffalo chicken dip!

We all have those friends that we want to connect with, but the thought of filling silence with easy conversation creates a little anxiety. Enter: trivia night. Trivia nights are great because the bulk of the conversation is around the question, which creates the perfect ice breaker for everyone. Awkward silence averted.

Between the live music, food trucks (hello, apple cider), craft booths and lively atmosphere, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, festivals give you an excuse to wear that boho-chic outfit with those round sunnies (a win/win in our book).

You know that entire Pinterest board you have dedicated to home décor DIYs you’re going to do, but never actually get to them? We feel you – it’s hard to find time to relax and craft the day away. We can guarantee that your friend has a very similar Pinterest board with the same homemade door wreath pinned on her to-dos. Invite her over for some rosé and test your artistic abilities together. If anything, you’ll have an epic Pinterest fail to give everyone a good laugh. Need some inspiration? These Fall DIYs are a must.

If you’re a pop culture nut, this is perfect for you. Think of this like a book club, but better, because you can discuss weekly trending topics, last week’s TGIT line-up on ABC, the upcoming award shows and politics (if that’s your thing). Meet up with your fellow media mavens once a week or month and gab about what’s really important to you – when Taylor Swift is going to make her comeback and if the new Nicholas Sparks movie will actually be as good as the book.

If you and your friend are still wanting to dress up and go out, attending a show is a great way to do so in a unique setting. Whether you are watching a friend in a community theatre production or you managed to snag tickets to Broadway’s Hamilton, you’ll experience something new together (while looking super fancy). If you haven’t snagged tickets yet, you can find many discounted seats on Broadway Box. We think we just found you a new topic for your pop culture club next week!

Choosing the perfect fall bag shouldn’t have to be a stressful task on your to-do list, so we’re going to help you out. If there is one bag you need for fall, it’s a crossbody.

Grab a Girlfriend for Fort Wayne’s Vera Bradley Outlet Sale

#1
It had scared the wits out of me for years. The Vera Bradley Outlet Sale has been held in the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne for more than a decade. The 2016 Vera Bradley Annual Sale will take place April 13 – 17.
Fort Wayne is the hometown of Vera Bradley founders Barbara Bradley Baekgaard and Patricia R. Miller (Vera was Barbara’s mother).
Vera Bradley bags, usually made of fabric, are colorful, lovely and durable. The annual outlet sale attracts thousands of shoppers looking for deals of up to 60% off retail prices on handbags, backpacks, luggage, coin purses, and other types of totes.

_DSC0428

For many years I opted not to attend the outlet sale, fearing hordes of frenzied shoppers. Last year, a friend convinced me to attend with her and we had a fun experience.
We arrived at the Coliseum prior to opening on the first free day of the sale.
Note: During the first three days of the sale when selections are greatest, shoppers pay an admittance fee of $5.00. On Saturday and Sunday there is no cost to attend.
As my friend and I walked past hundreds of women already standing in line, I dreaded the long wait to get inside once the sale started. But once the doors to the expo center opened, we were inside within minutes.
To my surprise and immense relief the Vera Bradley Outlet Sale was well organized. Aisles were wide apart and items arranged neatly in stacks. Clearly marked prices were posted above each table. Customers shopped companionably rather than step on each other to grab a particular handbag.

VBAS image

Employees stood on sidelines, eager to answer questions for shoppers such as where to find check-out lines. Some employees even were stationed outside of the restrooms, watching collections of as-yet-unpaid-for items for customers. They think of everything at this sale!
Due to the popularity of the items, sale organizers have assigned a monetary spending limit per person — $3,500.

DSC_3725

While I don’t plan to spend that much money, there are other rules to observe.
Everyone who makes a purchase at the sale must pre-register. You can pre-register at the sale’s website. If you forget to register, you can do so at the sale with a required photo ID.
The sale accepts most major credit cards but no personal checks.
Shuttles are available to transport shoppers who want the full experience to the Vera Bradley store located in Jefferson Point Shopping Mall, 4130 W Jefferson Blvd, 260.459.1160.
Check out the sale’s website for other details such as hours. The first three days have certain periods when the sale is closed for restocking shelves.
The Vera Bradley Coupon Code Outlet Sale can be a great opportunity for a girlfriend getaway. Go to Visit Fort Wayne to find hotel packages and restaurants within the area. Then, wear comfortable shoes and plan for a productive shopping event!

You may have noticed a little more merriment on our social media last week. We’re still recovering this week from celebrating our Soho store and sweepstakes winners in the big city.

Instead of a red carpet, guests strolled up our pink carpet and entered the store through a custom archway complete with decorative butterflies inspired by the butterfly wallpaper featured inside the Soho store. Inside the store, guests enjoyed music by celebrity DJ Chelsea Leyland, a signature “Happy Thymes” cocktail and appetizers. And, since no VIP event is complete without a “swag bag,” each guest left the event with a new wristlet for fall and a couple of Signature prints.

Vera Bradley Coupon Code: MORNING ROUTINES OF SUCCESSFUL WOMEN: SHERRY

Vera Bradley Coupon Code: MORNING ROUTINES OF SUCCESSFUL WOMEN: SHERRY
Eight out of the twelve members of our executive committee at Vera Bradley Coupon Code are women. Ahem, who runs the world? It’s no surprise that we admire women who shatter glass ceilings and break stereotypes in the work place, but now we want to know how they do it. In search of the secrets of Superwoman, we’re studying highly successful females and how they spend the first few hours of the day. Take out your schedules; you’re going to want to write this down.
Sherry, Sr. Director of Design in Product Development and resident fashionista, is known around the office for her keen business sense and killer shoe game. Sherry oversees the Trend, Print, CAD, Design and Color teams at Vera Bradley – a total #girlboss. Her favorite part of the job is collaborating with teams and presenting ideas to internal cross-functional partners. Sherry is a busy woman, but we caught her by the coffee bar long enough to ask her about the habits she follows in the morning to set her up for a successful day in the office.

“My alarm goes off at 6:30 a.m. – I try my best not to hit snooze. The first thing I do is read emails on my phone… Terrible habit, I know! It’s just to make sure that nothing urgent needs to happen for the day.
Then, I make coffee and have breakfast – usually a banana. As I’m getting ready for the day, I check with my hubby to see what’s happening in the world. He is always reading the news on his phone and he talks to me while I select my outfit – my favorite part of the morning!
My cat, Calvin, is always with me while I put on my makeup, purring up a storm. I use the Large Blush and Brush Makeup Case to store all of my cosmetic essentials. I love the separate compartments it has for my brushes and the extra organization it offers.

The last thing I do before I walk out the door is brush my teeth, look in the mirror and repeat the mantra I try to follow every day: ‘think and be positive!’ I grab my work bag – the Canyon Tote – checking to make sure my laptop is securely inside and then head into the colorful world of Vera Bradley.

Vera Bradley Coupon Code: WORD ON THE STREET: FORTEZZA

word on the street: FortezzaWelcome to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where the Vera Bradley Coupon Code headquarters was founded and resides today. While it may seem like an unusual location for a fashion brand, we thrive in this Midwest city where our roots are strong. With each post in this Word on the Street series, we’ll show you our favorite hot spots, share secrets only the locals know and give you a glimpse into the hometown of Vera Bradley Designs. First stop: the coffee shop!
Fortezza Coffee is a specialty coffee shop located in the heart of downtown Fort Wayne. It has an urban vibe and large, open counter space for coffee dates or reading your favorite book. If you go on any given morning, you’ll see friends huddled together over steaming lattes, commuters grabbing a quick coffee on their way to work and maybe even a Vera Bradley associate, stopping in to sip on a mocha.
word on the street: Fortezza
DON’T MISS THE …
Brunch menu! It’s the first thing you see when you enter and changes constantly with the seasons.
GO FOR THE …
Atmosphere. Within walking distance to many of Fort Wayne’s major corporate offices, you get a big-city vibe with small-town charm.
word on the street: Fortezza
OUR FAVORITE …
Trionfale Espresso. Made with fresh whole beans and brewed and roasted right in front of you, it’s a Fortezza classic.
WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE …
Fortezza Coffee is the first coffee shop in Indiana to have a Modbar installed in their shop. This machine allows all of the bulky equipment of an espresso machine to be stored underneath the counter, creating more space on the bar for coffee and conversation.

Vera Bradley Coupon Code: THE ULTIMATE FALL BUCKET LIST

Vera Bradley Coupon Code: THE ULTIMATE FALL BUCKET LIST
The season of cozy socks, chunky cardigans and felt fedoras is finally here! We’ve been mentally preparing for weeks, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that we have a fall bucket list. Print or screenshot this list of fall must-do activities and check them off before the season ends. Our bucket list captures the best parts of fall – but you won’t see the typical apple picking or PSL drinking here – these are seasonal experiences that will create lifelong memories.
1. FARMER’S MARKET
You may have hit up your local farmer’s market weekly over the summer, but it’s a completely different experience in the fall. You can wear your favorite fall jacket and new peep-toe ankle boots while sipping hot chocolate for days (well, for hours, but you get the point). Don’t forget to bring a tote to hold the pumpkin-scented candle you’re bound to buy.
2. BONFIRE
So many favorite childhood memories involve a bonfire at your bestie’s house. Fall is the time for nostalgia, so why not invite a few of your girlfriends over for an evening bonfire? You’ll love catching up by the heat over a cider or two – and of course, all of the s’mores.
3. TOUR CIDER MILLS
Speaking of cider, have you ever toured a cider mill? If you live in the Midwest or Northeast, cider mills are an absolute must. Match your fall outfit to your bag and you have the perfect backdrop for your next profile picture. Find one near you.
4. HOST A TAILGATE
Everyone loves a good tailgate, but hosting one can take the game to a new level. Whether the weather isn’t cooperating or your squad prefers to enjoy the game on the comfort of a couch, an at-home tailgate can be the perfect opportunity to let your hostess skills shine. Bring on the spinach dip and (spiked) apple cider.
5. BAKE A (NEW) PUMPKIN RECIPE
It wouldn’t be fall without a pumpkin recipe or two. Get out of your pumpkin bread rut with a new recipe. Roast the leftover seeds from your carved pumpkin for a delicious low-cal snack. This guide will help you achieve your ideal flavor from sweet to savory.
6. SUNRISE KAYAKING
Fall was made for spending time outdoors. Plan a sunrise kayak trip with bae to really appreciate the changing colors of the season. Pack a few breakfast staples in your lunch bag, get in an arm workout and sip a toasty thermos of coffee in the crisp morning air.
7. HALLOWEEN COSTUME DIY
Your best friend always throws her annual costume party and you want a shot at the grand prize this year. Team up with your girlfriend for a clever group costume. Halloween doesn’t have to break the bank – spend an afternoon crafting and make them together! We have a feeling you ladies will win with this modern and hilarious costume.
8. SHOPPING DAY-TRIP
We all need a getaway every once in awhile, so plan a day trip with your girls. Go hands-free with a crossbody and make the drive to a neighboring town with an adorable Main Street. It’s never too early to start your holiday shopping, so take a day to treat yo’self (and everyone on your holiday list).
9. HIKING
If you’re looking to mix up your workout routine, throw a hike into the mix. Hiking is great exercise in a beautiful, Instagram-worthy setting (no filter needed). You’ll be thankful to get in a few final outdoor workout sessions before a coldfront comes through. Load up your backpack with snacks, layers and water if you’re planning on making it a long trek.
10. FALL DÉCOR DIY
With the change in seasons, we love to infuse autumnal elements into our living space, just as we do with our closets. We know your Pinterest board is full of Fall DIYs, so plan an afternoon to make that fall wreath for your door or those glitter pumpkins to spruce up your entryway. If whimsical is more your style, how cool are these emoji pumpkins?

We were interrupted by a buzz from her phone and the reminder of another meeting. She gathered her things and started to walk away, not without turning around to give us her advice for every one striving to grow a career:
“BE OPEN TO OPPORTUNITIES. BE POSITIVE. TRAVEL TO BROADEN YOUR MIND AND EXPERIENCE SOMETHING NEW. WORK HARD NO MATTER WHAT THE TASK. HELP OTHERS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.”
And with that, she was off – her pink Valentinos tapping the tune of her departure.
Morning routine: Sherry
We love looking into the lives of those that inspire us, some say it’s nosey, we prefer curious. Stay connected with us as we give more glimpses into the morning routines of other successful women next month. If you’re still hungry to see more hustle – take a look at how seven female leaders spend their first hour at work.

Vera Bradley Coupon Code: HOW TO TRANSITION FROM SUMMER TO FALL

September can be a tricky month for choosing your daily wardrobe. Now that it’s officially PSL and tailgate season, you’re ready for fall – but the weather doesn’t always make it that simple. With chilly mornings turning into scorching afternoons, it’s hard to go full-on fall with your blanket scarf, sweater, cords and booties. Until the weather cools, you need to master the art of transitional dressing. For the few weeks of September leading into October, there are three things you should do to transition your summer wardrobe into fall
Vera Bradley Coupon Code: HOW TO TRANSITION FROM SUMMER TO FALL1. PLAY WITH COVERAGE
The first step to transitioning your wardrobe is playing with coverage using the 50/50 rule. If you are planning to wear shorts, pair it with a lightweight sweater or cardigan. If you prefer to keep your arms bare, go ahead and wear your slim chinos (but make sure to bring a light jacket for the mornings). The general rule of thumb is to cover at least half of your body to accommodate the swing in temperature.
2. UPDATE YOUR PALETTE
Even though it can be hot outside in September, you can still dress for fall while keeping cool. Update the colors in your wardrobe to include more jewel tones – your outfit will feel more autumnal, even if you are wearing an off the shoulder dress.
3. FLIP YOUR ACCESSORIES
The last step in transitioning your wardrobe can make the biggest impact in making your ensembles feel more “fall.”  Flipping out your accessories instantly can take your outfit from breezy-summer to autumn-chic. Our Big Sky Backpack in Vera Bradley Coupon Code is a perfect addition to any fall outfit. Dig the suede booties out of the back of your closet, grab your scarf and top it off with a felt hat for an envious autumn look.

Vera bradley Coupon Code: CHEERS TO THE NEW YEAR & NEW FRAGRANCE

Appleberry Champagne
We love everything about New Year’s Eve: looking back on the previous year, wearing sparkly dresses, sipping some bubbly and celebrating the adventures lying ahead. For us, one of our most exciting endeavors in 2016 is our first foray into the wonderful world of fragrance. On January 14, we’re officially unveiling our four scents, but we wanted to give you a little taste of one to come.

Up to 50% OFF Online Outlets

Online Outlets: save up to 50% OFF over 30 styles!
Our celebratory fragrance, Appleberry Champagne, lends itself particularly well to a cocktail (for obvious reasons). Inspired by its juicy green apple and sparkling champagne notes, our resident bartender, Shane, created a lovely libation that’s perfect for any New Year’s Eve party.
Appleberry Champagne
cran-apple of my eye
Ingredients:
  • 1 oz. apple vodka (we used Absolut Orient Apple)
  • 1  ½ oz. apple cider
  • ½ oz. cranberry-apple juice
  • Champagne
  • Cranberries (for garnish)
Directions:
  • Fill a metal shaker halfway with ice.
  • Add vodka, apple cider and cranberry-apple juice.
  • Take a glass (a pint glass works well, if you have one) and place it over the shaker so they overlap.
  • Holding the metal and glass containers together with both hands, shake up and down until the metal feels ice cold to the touch.
  • Strain into a martini glass (preferably a chilled one).
  • Top with a splash (or two) of champagne and a sprinkling of cranberries.
Bartender’s tip:
Freeze the cranberries in advance so they keep your drink cold while you’re busy mingling.

Vera Bradley Coupon Code: TICKLED PINK: A PARTY WITH A PURPOSE

Vera Bradley Coupon Code gives new meaning to “T.G.I.F.” on the first Friday of every October.

Since 2004, sisters, mothers and friends have come together to celebrate their health and shared commitment to funding breast-cancer research during this special event.

This year, we rolled out the pink carpet for 387 VIPs at our corporate headquarters in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Once inside, guests were surrounded by oversized Katalina Pink blooms and the smooth sounds of the Alicia Pyle Quartet. They enjoyed bites and beverages from some of the area’s favorite caterers and restaurants, as well as a crowd-pleasing raffle and silent auction. Fun photo ops, games and treats awaited attendees around every corner.

The entire event was packed with excitement, but one moment was especially memorable. Toward the end of the night, 33 survivors and 24 team members from the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer Research Laboratories at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center watched as Executive Director Lynda Houk presented a check for $2.5 million, the amount the Foundation raised for the cause this year.
