Last week was my sister’s first week back at school.
I remember feeling rejuvenated at the start of the school year. I would attend my classes determined to take thorough notes in my best hand writing in my brand new notebooks.
Throughout the year, my notes became more abbreviated and my handwriting became sloppier, but hey, as long as my grades stayed high, that’s all that really matters, right?
There’s just something about the start of something new. Whether it be a new school year, new month, new season, new job… Something about beginning a new adventure feels motivating and exciting.
I have a good feeling about the month of September. 😀 Happy September 1!
Lunch
My good September vibes carried over into my lunch today.
Chicken Salad
I enjoyed a homemade chicken salad wrap with a side of grape tomatoes and cucumber slices.
The Spread
I prepared the chicken salad by combining:
- 3 oz. canned chicken
- 1 tbsp. light Miracle Whip (mayo will also work)
- ½ Granny Smith apple, chopped
After topping a whole wheat tortilla with baby greens and the chicken salad, my meal was good to go.
Wraaap It Up
Git in mah belly! 😀
Wedding Day Clutch
I would now like to address the most unimportant decision I will make related to planning our wedding: My wedding-day purse.
I want to have a small clutch on my big day to hold little essentials like tissues and lip gloss and am currently torn between the following options:
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D:
Ariel! I Love you!
Which one would you choose?
(Totally kidding about Option D, by the way. 😉 )
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
That’s easy…Billy Madison! Gotta love Adam Sandler. And I think either option A or C. It would be nice to add a splash of color to the white dress!
i’m totally feelin’ the pink, too. i emailed the seller of option B to ask if they could make it pink. 😀
UPDATE: They can! Check it out: http://www.etsy.com/convos/get_convo_image.php?convo_id=30561921&image_id=9681341&image_type=full
Option C!! Very PRETTY!!
Tuna and apples what a great combo! Definitely agree with A or C! Maybe D, but only if your wedding was under water! Haha! =)
Totally A.
c!!!! beautiful and classy!
Well since D is out of the question, I’d go with B or C. Only because I’m all about simplicity.
I love B or C!! 🙂
Darn I was going to say D but since you’re taking it off the table….I love C! Not too traditional but still classy, sophisticated, and fun! (Then A, then B.)
A!!
I love option A- so romantic!!
i’m all for #1…it’s gorgeous, and i can just SEE you carrying it! i love it 🙂
My sister just had her wedding on July 17th and she bought the Option B for herself (same design, same colors you have shown) and inscribed it with her new name and the wedding date.
She bought option C for all of her bridesmaids and let us pick the color (outside and the lining) and then let us pick the inscription (since some of us were married, some were not)
LOVE those clutches! They hold up super well and looked really cute in our random pictures from the evening! (Sorry…way more than you needed to know!) 🙂
oh my gosh, what a coincidence! i’m assuming she ordered them off etsy, too? they’re so cute!
She did! Same website! I guess Martha Stuart featured them and they really took off after that!
I love Billy Madison! And I was definitely reciting that in my head as I did my school shopping this year.
For the clutches–I’m between A and B. Both are completely adorable and sophisticated, so you can’t go wrong.
B!
I am a big fan of option A!
I LOVE the pink clutch (Option A), but I liked the elegance and size of Option B. That is, of course, if you are truly serious about not doing Option D…:)
LOVE option A! B is super cute too.
C!
I love option C. I am a big fan of pink and bows, so C is definetly my fav!
I love A, it’s beautiful and the pink will look gorgeous!
But you really can’t go wrong with any of them, except maybe option D (;
Billy Madison! “Shampoo is better, no conditioner is better”. hehe 🙂
Oh man, this is a tough one! Seriously, tough. If I had to choose (again really really tough) I think I’d say B. 🙂
Just read someones post above and I’d agree, actually option A with a touch of pink to the white dress would be so pretty! 🙂
i love that, too. 🙂 plus, i want light pink shoes!
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
fo sho.
Nah, I like A! For reals.
And PS: Billy Madison! Lurve it.
Option A fo sho!
Option A!!!! It’s gorgeous and elegant and romantic, plus it avoids having a harsh metal component to your clutch for the day!
I looove option A!! I want one!
OPTION B!
so simple, elegant, and cute! i love it!
A!!
It’s beautiful, girly and you could totally wear it again.
Although, I am also pretty partial to D, as well 😉
I love option B! I bought a similar one from the same etsy vendor for my wedding day!
option a! you can use it again and think of your wedding day- plus it adds a pop of color and i think the design is fun and flirty!
Option b!!:)
Option A is sweet, feminine, and beautiful! It’s the definite winner in my book.
option C! very striking. option B is a close second, though.
Not sure of the closure on option A, but the snap closures on B & C have snapped my nails off before. I would go A if it’s a zipper closure – they’re all stunning.
I like Option C, but they are all very feminine and lovely!
I totally love option B. It’s gorgeous!
C!!!
I love C. But that’s probably because I’m all about the drama. 🙂
A all the way!!!
The first one is ADORABLE. and verrrry chic ! Also, love the idea of having the clutch opening hidden.
I’m sure any of them (including silly Little Mermiad) would look fantastic with your dress! 🙂
I love B!
billy madison! 🙂 yay. haha. i love those clutches! especially the little mermaid one 😉 butttttt i’d go with the cute pink floral. option a! xox
I like option A! Very romantic!
A or B!
i vote for A it really cute!
A or C! Tough call!
I would say C or B. I really like their site, lots of cute stuff.
A or C, but i would wait to choose until you buy your shoes. Shoes are much harder to find than a clutch. Good luck!

option A.
but as someone that just got married 3 weeks ago – here is my advice. is your ceremony/reception in the same place? then you really dont’ need a clutch. trust me. if you’re traveling to a different location then it might be a nice idea so you don’t have to carry in a crummy bag or go out to the car when you need something.
our reception is about 1.5 mi. from our ceremony site. i probably don’t need a clutch (you’re totally right), but i am loving these. 😀
Clutch isn’t about “need” it’s about “it’s your wedding day, get it because it’s adorable”! :>) That said, I LOVE B…in a dusty rose would be perfect…
then buy one. why not? my ceremony and reception were in the same place and i had a bridal suite. That said, i opted out of the clutch since i could just go in there if i needed something. however, use the 1.5 miles as a reason to have to have a clutch. i still like a best.
A! I love A!
My vote’s for B or C
My name is Anne and that is my choice as well!
😉
I like that bow one. My dress has a bow, so maybe I’ll look at it for myself.
