Dear friends, I missed you today!  My absence was legit: I was flying from Los Angeles to Chicago, which pretty much sucked both the whole day as well as all of my energy away.  So now that it’s 10 p.m. I thought I’d post the first deal of the day. And I promise it’s a good one!

Through October 25, 2009, Vera Bradley is taking an additional 20% off ALL sale items!  Since there are already some great deals to be found in the sale section, this is a great deal!  (And a great time to go shopping if you were planning on getting anyone anything from VB for the holidays.)

No promo code is necessary – the discount will be applied at checkout.

I have a wallet like this Zip-Around Wallet in Mediterranean White, only mine is a different color.

My wallet is a different pattern but it is AMAZING.  It has a wrist strap, so it can easily be used as a clutch.  It holds everything – it’s wonderful and I’ve been using mine for 3 years.

The clutch is currently on sale for $15, down from the regular price of $38.  The additional 20% brings the price to just $12.  Not bad for Vera!

Again, this super sale ends on October 25, 2009 so if you’re going to shop – shop quickly!!
