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. 😉 )

A without a doubt. Its lovely!!!!
I love A! SO pretty & the girly-ness seems to match your personality.
I love Lauren Merkin’s clutches. Depending on your jewelry “Eve” in Pale Gold (there are also several other colors) is great for weddings but could also use it for other events.

I would choose option B–the white one without a doubt. While I love the idea of a splash of color, I think on your wedding day you don’t want anything to take away from your beautiful dress.
B!!! Love the color and most simple, and possibly use again..you could even dye it later black..oooo!!!
I love B, especially if you can get it in pink, although I like the white too.
I love B! Beautiful! A is my 2nd choice.
I love A! Soft and feminine but not boring or structured to be goofy.
I feel the same way about new adventures and new beginnings! I’m a Junior in college and being back to school has been so exciting because it’s a new step in my college career.
As for clutches, go with A!! It’s such a pretty color and it looks like something you would wear!
I would love option B in pink!
thank you for stopping by my blog Julie! 😀
i choose B because it’s classic and it doesn’t take anybody’s attention from the main attraction of the day: YOU!
much love from Cebu City Philippines!
I like B or C 🙂 All of your selections are gorgeous!
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that decided at the beginning of the new school year that I would write in my best handwriting =) that CRACKS me up!!! My first few pages of notes were ON!!
Anyways, I really love C! I was reading through, and it doesn’t really look like there is much of a general consensus, but they are all pretty!
I have family about 1 mile from your wedding site, and I have to say, you should go hang by the pool and order one of their pina coladas!!! SO GOOD!
Love A or B. And so cool that you are getting handmade good. I LOVE etsy!
AAAAAAA for sure!
DEFINITELY A! That one so freakin gorgeous. If not that, then B.
I vote for B or C. B if it’s close to the colour and style of your dress because it’s just so classy looking and if not then C because it too is insanely gorgeous and adds a splash of fun!
I vote for C, adds a splash of color and I think it is super pretty… But if B comes in pink, then I might have to reconsider. Personally I find A to be a bit busy… but I’d hardly consider myself a fashionista so you know…
I really adore option A – classy and romantic 🙂
C- it is elegant- fun- fashionable- special- and gorgeous
A or B 🙂
I really like Option B – particularly in the color shown but I guess you have to match.
On a side note, coming from a married person, I saw no need for a clutch. If you’re looking to save costs, it isn’t really truly necessary as you’ll have your “table” where you’ll be stationed as husband & wife and can keep your stash of things there. The room I got ready in and the place where we had our reception were in the same building/location so I would just duck in there for touch ups.
HOWEVER, I feel your excitement and if you’ll use the clutch again some day or pass on to your daughter then I see no problems! 🙂
option c + you = GORGEOUS
I love option C!!!
Option B & C have totally stolen the show. Love them both!
C for the win!
A by a loooooong shot. It’s elegant and looks like a better quality bag than the others (which are kind of young-ish looking to moi)
I love the pink! Option B is a beautiful clutch…hopefully you can get it in pink! A pop of color is always pretty 🙂
LOVE the pink clutch!! 🙂 I’m all about having colors other than white – other than the dress of course! 😉 My shoes were baby blue for my “something blue.”
Obviously D.
If that’s sold out, I’d go with B. I love it in white, but pink would be nice, too. Of course, I don’t know what your dress looks like so my opinion might changed based on that.
I like C! The splash of colour makes it super fun and girly 🙂
Despite loving Ariel….I’d have to go with c. Its fun, gorgeous and would definitely add some colour 🙂
option B in the pink! yeah 🙂
Stop the press. Can it just be known that you have the best fashion sense eva?! I adore all of these options (even option D 🙂 What a hard decision. I think I’m going to have to vote for B though. Soo classy and elegant! Love!
I LOVE option B, closely followed by Option C!
I like option C it’s simple yet fun!
A all the way!
I think B is a little cheap-looking, but A is beautiful!
AAAAAAA!
I personally really like B, but then again it would be fun to have a clutch that was a different color than your dress.
B. Totally.
LOVE A AND B. suppper cute!
Definitely option B in pale pink! It is such a pretty purse, I kind of want it myself and Im not even getting married. 🙂
Well since B comes in pink I think B or C are the best options now! I still think C is the best, though, because I think it could go easily with whatever type of dress you have. Since I don’t know the material or style of the dress its hard to say but I think the fabric of option B might clash with certain types of dresses! Definitely go with the pink color though 🙂
Option A is my favorite!
A…all the way!
Option A – girly and romantic (just my opinion though). I’m usually a big sucker for bows but my attention was taken away by A 🙂
I love option A! It comes off as whimsical and romantic without looking too prom-y.
Ohh I love B! Very cute.
I love option A- a little bit of color 🙂
ooh I love both B and C!! B is very elegant which I love, but I also like the bow on C… hmm. this is tough!! Im going to pick C as final answer =)
