Review: Vera Bradley Tech Products

For Christmas, I received all the Vera Bradley products my nerdy self could need. For those that don't know, Vera Bradley sells handbags, purses, totes, luggage, and tons of other things in a multitude of fabrics. There products are of wonderful quality, and I am hardly ever disappointed by their bags. Well, I've got quite a few of their purses, so I got electronic accessories for gifts. Now that I've had a nice amount of time to try them out, I can tell you what I think!

I love surprises, so I was intrigued when my brother gave me a rather large box on Christmas Eve and told me I couldn't open it until Christmas morning. After opening my laptop (squee!), I was pleased to find that I would have something to keep it in. I got the case in Plum Petals. It has a pocket on the outside on each side, one has a zipper, one doesn't. It comes with a small, fabric-covered bar that Velcros to the felt inside. This can be used if the case it a bit too big for your laptop. It's meant to be used on the side, but I put mine on the top. My laptop is fairly wide. it also has handles on top, and there's a detachable shoulder strap.

The laptop case wasn't the only thing I got in Plum Petals. I also got a case for my Kindle. It's really really cute! I love the print on the little case. Now, it's not made for Kindles specifically so it is a bit big for my Kindle. It's just an 'e-reader' case, so it's probably made for Kindles, Nooks, Kobos. It comes with a little slot with a card in it where you can fill in your personal information. This way, if you lose your e-reader (and hopefully someone honest and kind-hearted finds it), it can be returned to you.

The last Vera piece I got was a tech case in Baroque. I use it for my iPod and it's just perfect. It has a little pocket inside for my headphones. It has a detachable wrist strap on it. So, if I just want to take my iPod and my phone somewhere, I can just slide my phone in my pocket and carry my iPod with the wrist strap.

Freaky Sock Friday #13

So, I couldn't really get a picture, but I also really wanted to use these socks because I have become a little Angry Birds obcessed in the past day or so. They're from Hot Topic, which is perfect, because they get alot of freaky stuff and this is Freaky Sock Friday. So check out the Angry Birds socks here.

I would also like to point out that this is the thirteenth post and this is Friday the thirteenth...oooo spooky.
