Preview Time - Julep Tulip

Today we got a Closer Look at what may be my new favorite....

My body is ready for Julep Tulip!

SOOOOOOOOO yea I am in LURVE with this print! Seeing it enlarged, I love everything about it; both interior and exterior prnts, the color scheme, the designs, the  little intricate features that are just fab!

Where do I begin?

Well, for one you all know I'm a girlie girl. I love pinks and purples and their variant shades. So of COURSE I'm going to go bananas over the purple (well Vera says violet) and magenta! However the star in this print is that green! And not just any green...a natural, earthy grass green that I LOVE!

Gah!

This print SCREAMS Spring, right?! It reminds me of a pretty bouquet, or a field of....wait for it...TULIPS! (see what I did there ahahaha?!)

So I definitely plan on picking up some items in this print. You see guys?! THIS is why January is the BEST MONTH EVER (aside from it being the month I was born hehe!), we always get blessed with fab spring colors from Vera! Here's an ensemble I actually plan on wearing this month...

Can I just say that I love the Neoprene Laptop case having the interior print! Cuteness!!!!!!!

So tomorrow I will talk about Clementine! Yes, I know it was previewed last month...but I wanted to discuss the Spring colors as a group, so I waited. 

See you all then, fellow citizens!

Preview Time - Citron

Today, Vera gave us a closer look at Blue Bayou's fraternal twin...

Citron!:

Okay...so this print has grown on me over the last month or so. I like it, it's neutral...but it's not. Does that make sense? Probably not...but you know what I'm talking about.

It's amazing how you can take the same print, re-color it, and the result has a totally different personality. Blue Bayou is just bold, bright, and playful all over. Citron is calmer and muted, with a just a pop of boldness.

When I first saw the swatch months ago, I had no clue what these colors were except for the white and black. The background print looked brown, then gray, then khaki...so I settled on khaki as the color. Then the florescent color reminded me of a hi-liter, so I figured it was yellow....well I was wrong-o.

VB classified the colors as bold green and neutral gray...I guess so. Looking at it blown up, I can see a slight difference between the "kiwi" green and the green on the petals. And that gray still looks brown to me.

As soon as I saw it today, I immediately thought of going to the gym! The yellow/green reminds me of some workout clothes I own, and I just LOVE it on the new gym bag!

Preview Time - Blue Bayou

Vera has begun previewing the spring colors on their Inside Stitch blog! *squeee*

First color up: Blue Bayou!

Aaaaaahhhhh look at it! I have never been in love with BLUE so much! It's so vibrant and bold and just...wow! How can anyone not like this?!?!

The interior print is a petal-like chevron that reminds me of the water I swam in while on vacay St. Lucia many moons ago (I need to go back!). 

What really brings the blue out is that white floral print, man! You absolutely must keep this print away from dirt or dust, that white is what makes it werk!

Here's a cute little outfit I pieced together with some of the items previewed on verabradley.com:

Finally Flower Shower

Howdy! Hope everyone's thanksgiving was good and fat! Now, let's talk Vera!

So last month I gave my opinions on most the Summer 2014 colors, but not all because I wasn't able to get a pic of Flower Shower on merchandise. I have one now!

Now I can see colors clearly. At first I thought the background was sort of grey, now I can tell it's brown. I get the "shower" concept with the dotted streams. There are a few elements in this pattern that remind me a little of Canyon; the dotted circles, the heart shaped flower petals, and of course the brown (although Flower Shower's is much duller) and the orange.

However, I'm still not interested in this pattern. I don't know, maybe it's the color scheme all together, I'm just not into this. What about you guys? You like? If so, why? I feel like I'm not getting it.
