Vera Bradley Coupon Code: LOVE POTION: VALENTINE’S DAY COCKTAIL

Whether your Valentine’s Day plans include a girls’ night in, a romantic candlelit dinner for two or a sappy-movie marathon, a festive libation will make a lovely addition. We asked our trusted bartender, Shane, to recommend a cocktail that captures the spirit of this special occasion. His pick is a pretty pink-and-red cocktail that’s easy to love: the Cherub’s Cup. Read on for the recipe!

CHERUB’S CUP

Ingredients:

• 1 part St. Germain elderflower liqueur
• 2 parts vodka or gin
• ¾ part fresh lemon juice
• 1 part muddled strawberries (plus extra for garnish)
• Brut rosé sparkling wine or champagne (we used Mumm Napa)

Bartender’s tip:
Like your sips sweet?
Add ¼ part simple syrup or sub lemonade for the lemon juice.

Directions:

• Add chopped strawberries to a cocktail shaker and muddle.
• Fill the shaker halfway with ice.
• Add all ingredients — except for the brut rosé — and shake vigorously until chilled.
• Strain into a glass filled with ice and top with a splash of your brut rosé of choice.
• Garnish with a strawberry, serve and enjoy.

Cheers!

The perfect complement to your cocktail: a little chocolate from your local shop. Thank you, DeBrand Fine Chocolates, for helping us celebrate!

Vera Bradley Coupon Code: BEHIND THE SCENES: SPRING PHOTO SHOOT

Our new Spring arrivals may have just been released, but we’ve been planning them for over a year! All of our styles and patterns go through many phases before being put into production or even making it onto a photo shoot set. Back in October when everyone was wrapped in blanket scarves sipping on PSLs, our creative team was in New Orleans, Louisiana for our Spring 2017 photo shoot. VP of Creative, John, gave us an exclusive scoop on where the team dined, shopped and played off camera.

WHERE TO SHOP

Who doesn’t love shopping while on vacation (or at least a work trip)? Canal Place is perfect for knocking out your shopping at once with a combination of boutiques and specialty retailers. The Anthropologie will draw you in, and the J.Crew and Lululemon will keep you there for hours.

WHERE TO EAT

“We filmed at St. Roch Market and it was an amazing find. Super local and very cool.” — John

St. Roch Market is a local southern food hall with a variety of cuisines that makes for a very unique dining experience. John loves that St. Roch Market is run entirely by locals. He recommends the oysters, coffee and juice bar. See their current vendors here.

“We ate at Shaya and it was amazing! They make their own pita bread and the whole experience was amazing.” — John

Located on famous Magazine Street, Shaya offers Israeli cuisine for the international food lovers.

WHERE TO GET A COCKTAIL

“Let’s face it — people go to NOLA to eat, drink and have a good time.” — John

John says a unique (and awesome) quality about New Orleans is the high number of female bartenders. Not only are there a lot of them, these expert mixologists are pretty well-known around New Orleans. Although it’s hard to choose a favorite, we love Compère Lapin and Bourbon “O” Bar. Wherever you choose, you’re guaranteed to have a good time in New Orleans.

WHERE TO VISIT

Rich in culture, New Orleans has a breadth of activities to fill your evenings. From Broadway musicals (Lion King is currently in town) to multiple art and music festivals, there’s always something to do and see. Magazine Street is a must for first timers. Located in the Garden District, stretching six miles to Uptown, this street is filled with specialty coffee shops, antique stores, art galleries and boutiques.

Vera Bradley Coupon Code: FIRST DAY OF WORK: 5 THINGS TO REMEMBER

You did it. You graduated, nailed the interview and landed your first real job. It’s been a long road to get to this point, but you’re so thrilled to begin this new chapter in your life. As exciting as starting a new job can be, it also tends to be a pretty nerve-racking experience. The night before, you’ll have a million thoughts running through your head. “I hope they like me.” “What if I embarrass myself?” “Will I make any friends?” “What should I wear?”

First, we can tell you from experience that it’s going to be okay. The jitters will subside once you start your day. Until you start your new journey, here are five things to remember for your first day of work.

1 |  Timing is everything

This spans beyond the typical “don’t be late.” You want to arrive on your first day early, but not too early. We recommend arriving seven minutes early. See why seven is the sweet spot here. If you’re new to the area, you should practice your commute prior to your first day. Get a feel for how long it will take with and without traffic and plan accordingly. It’s also important to get an understanding of work hours. Is it a typical 9 – 5, or is it more flexible as long as you get your 40 hours in? We recommend not being the first one to jet out of the office on your first day. Leaving too early can make just as bad of an impression as arriving too late.

2 |  Prepare your “elevator pitch”

Elevator pitches are not just for job fairs and interviews. It’s important to have a 20 – 30 second intro about yourself, past experience and new role for that first week. You will be shown around and meet a lot of new people. You want to make a solid first impression on your new coworkers with a confident and upbeat introduction.

3 |  Ask questions

First days can be daunting with the sheer amount of information you’re taking in — but don’t forget to ask questions! Don’t worry about asking too many questions or “stupid” questions. In fact, for the first week, you have somewhat of a “hall pass.” Your boss and coworkers know you’re learning and adjusting, so just be eager and take a lot of notes. It’s good to take those first few days or weeks to just absorb information so you can hit the ground running.

4 |  Yes is the right answer

On your first day, you’re not really in a position to turn something down, whether it’s a task or an invitation to a social gathering. Show that you’re willing to try by accepting any project with a smile. If your coworkers invite you to lunch, gladly accept. You will be working with these people every day, so it’s good to get to know them and integrate yourself into the group as early on as possible. In the beginning especially, it’s crucial to have that can-do attitude.

5 |  Relax

We know, easier said than done. You nailed the interview, remember? They want you there, and more importantly, they want you to succeed. Know that everyone has had a first day before, so they know what it’s like. The best part is that you only have that first day once! Get a good night’s sleep, put on that killer outfit (we know you have it picked out), and remember to breathe. You’re going to be great!

If you haven’t landed the job quite yet, check out our interview tips and advice. If you’ve got the job and just need some outfit inspiration, read up on what the girl boss should wear to work.

Vera Bradley Coupon Code: TRAVEL TIPS: FESTIVAL GUIDE

Spring brings weekends full of festivals, and we’re kicking off the season with one of the largest parties in the nation. Over 48,000 attendees flock to Austin, Texas for 10 days of activities spanning from music performances to interactive panels of speakers (also known as: South by Southwest ). Members of Vera Bradley’s Social and Digital teams are making the trek to Texas to experience #SXSW2016. They’re taking us behind-the-scenes as they prepare for the first big festival of the year, covering how to enjoy the scene, navigate the extensive lineup of acts and stay sane through it all. Save, bookmark or Pin this survival guide for your own festival adventure this season.

Go Early, Stay Late
Pick the act or panel you really want to go to and find your place in line. Avoiding lines is impossible, so go into it with a patient attitude and lots of snacks and you’ll be fine.

Make a Schedule
This is key for SXSW and any festival you attend. Think about why you’re attending the festival. Are you there to learn? Are you there to network? Or, are you just there to have fun? Plan your days around your purpose for the trip. Our team is going to learn tips from the best in the business, so we used the scheduling tool on sxsw.com and can’t wait to see this guest speaker.

Fuel Up
Plan what you want to eat before you go and have a list of restaurants at the ready. No one likes a hangry traveler. We can’t wait to try the famous tacos at Juan in a Million and taste the spicy rubs of Franklin BBQ.

Dress for Success
Most festivals are outdoors, and while a few SXSW events take place inside, Austin spring weather is unpredictable. We’re taking comfortable, yet classy shoes, extra sweaters and a couple of hands-free options for bags.

Reboot
We don’t want to miss a second of the SXSW festival, so we’ll hit the ground running as soon as our plane touches down in the Lone Star State. Researching the best hotels in the area and distance from the festival is imperative to making sure you make the most of your experience. We wanted a hotel that wasn’t too far from the action and provides a space where we can relax and rejuvenate in between events.

Are you going to any festivals this year? We’re taking over @verabradley’s Instagram while we’re at SXSW this weekend. Follow along as we explore the city of Austin and put our planning to the test. See you in Texas!

Vera bradley Coupon Code: WORD ON THE STREET: FORTEZZA

Welcome to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where the Vera Bradley 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.

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.

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.
