Well I guess I should admit it: I am currently on a VB embargo. I have been selling some of my unused pieces and well, merely drooling over all of the sales that I see every day on the FB sales board. It's slightly pathetic, but I am very proud of myself! It has been about a month and a half since I have bought something VB for myself (although I have purchased gifts), and all I have done recently is traded. Now that that is out of my system...

I am craving! There are pictures out there of the patterns to be released in a few weeks as well as the ones in the fall, and I am weak beyond belief. I am not obsessing over any of the patterns, but I think they still deserve attention. In order not to cave in on my promise to buy nothing until new releases I will spend my time doing... my first review! Here goes nothing...

The Fall 2009 patterns will be released on June 22. These are my descriptions and thoughts!

Blue Rhapsody- This is a very busy blue/green/white combination that has flowers, swirls, and lots of details. Personally, I am not a fan. :( Although this will look great with a pair of jeans, there is something about those busy patterns that turns me off when it is on larger pieces. Maybe I will have to try out a cosmetic!

Carnaby- This pattern consists of browns, orange, white and a maroon/magenta color. It is very simplified for being a floral print because none of the pattern is outlined (as BR is). While some of the ladies have said that it looks unfinished, I actually like it because of this! Without the outlines, it's not as bright and is more wearable. I already purchased a card case when the preview was out a few months ago, and I like it but am unsure if I will fall 100% in love. Maybe a handbag wouldn't hurt...

Pirrouette- This is the last of the patterns coming out this month. It is a very traditional VB pattern with a black backround and organized tiny flowers in redish/neutral colors. As of right now, this is my favorite of the three. Because it is very classic, it will look great in bags, travel pieces, and small accessories. No worries about pattern placement (a great plus when buying online). The new Classic Black! I will definitely be getting a bag in this- at least! Hopefully one of the new styles will be perfect for it so I can share my opinions with you on here!

Well, I know I have to work on my blog style a bit, but for now I think this is going to work out! I love to share my opinions so hopefully everyone will love to read them :)
Have a great night!
