Tick-tock, tick-tock

It's true what they say.

At first time was moving slowly, like a snail, and I had all the time in the world to find inspiration and to pack away pictures of what I wanted and drempt of for the day.

That has all changed. The time just seems to move much quicker the closer I get to our wedding.

While most of my projects have been or have plans to be completed in the near future, there are still a few things I need to make some time to do.

I'm going to come out and tell you that I kinda suck and I'll be complaining a little bit about it but its my own fault.

I need a clutch. STILL.

I've blogged about it before, I know, sorry that you are once again being tortured by my unableness to make up my mind and indecisiveness.

The problem is, I hate clutches. Hate. If it was a normal purse I know i'd use it again and I'd be find with spending money on something nice. However with a clutch, I know I will never use it again and I don't want to spend a lot of money on it, but at the same time I don't want it to look like it came from the $1 store eventhough I would be completely content paying only a dollar for it. hehe.

Oh wait, did I mention this clutch I need if for the rehearsal dinner? yeah. I got my wedding clutch already, and for that I spent a whopping $8. So I'm really looking for something around the same price point for the rehearsal. I would use it for the rehearsal too, but it is pink and totally will not match my lilac dress.

I'm in search of a white clutch.

I found a few at the mall yesterday as I ran through the mall in a desperate search on my 30 minute lunch break. I went to every store that would possible have clutches, and there was only one store that really had a selection. The selection consited of 3 different options, all of which were not very cute, and were $30. Say what? I'm not spending $30 on a white clutch that is hideous.

puh-lease.

So today, I did an online search and I found a white clutch I love.

It is a Saugus handbag from bestbridalprices.com and it is $41.00. I love it! And this week only they are allowing a 10% discount on handbags-use code Handbags to get the discount.

problem solved. But wait....

Just before I was going to purchase it, I saw that it would take 1-4 weeks to get to me after the processing time! I don't have that long. Since the wedding is in 10 days (t-e-n) the rehearsal is in 9, and I will need to have it in my hot little hands in 8. *sigh*

I also found a cute clutch on the Dessy site which will also take much to long to get to me. It seems I may have waited to long to purchase anything online and I find this super annoying since the stores here apparently don't sell clutches!

maybe I can get the Man to carry my lip gloss for me. What do you think-- have you attended an event sans-clutch? how did you carry the necessary "stuff" a girl needs to carry? And why are department store clutchs so darn ugly and expensive?

To have and to hold

As The July 4th weekend comes upon us, I am reminded of two very scary things:

1. I'm one step(year) closer to the big (dreaded) 3-0 (my birthday is on the 4th)

2. Our wedding is soooooooooooo soon (a month and a few days away)...

and one very fun thing: Our one year engage-aversary is on the 4th!

Let me rephrase one thing, the wedding and marriage part isn't the part that scares me, but it's all the things I have left to do that are driving me insane. I feel like for every one thing I accomplish, ten more things pop up in it's place. And right now, time just seems to be moving at warp speed, never quite allowing me to catch up to where I'd like to be. Anyone else experiencing the warp speed like me?

Anyhow, I've decided it's time to make a final decision on what I'll be holding at the wedding (besides my new husbands hand that is..) and I seem to be having a hard time deciding exactly what I want.....and the main problem is that I can't find one in WHITE that I love for less than $500......

I found one I loved at zappos

....and then I saw the price tag. Dang! So not even close to being in the budget.

These are my contendors at the moment:

Up first is this cute little number that I would love to have. The problem, it only comes in hot pink. It would match my shoes and be super fun to have, but I'm still not 100% sure. I'd also like to put a flower on it which might dress it up a little and make it fit in more...

*Found on ebags
Up next is another cute one I found, but it only comes in light pink. Not exactl the right shade of pink... but i think the cut is so cute. Why oh why can't it come in white?

*Found on ebags
The last one I found is from the dessy site. It's reasonably price and comes in an assortment of colors.... so technically I could get white, but I don't know if it's tooooooo ruffl-y.

This last one I found at target online. It comes in white, it's cheap, but i'm not sure if it looks bridal like enough... and it's made of polyester and cotton (i wanted silky goodness) but then again, i could get a cute satin flower to add to the front of it to dress it up... (now that I'm looking at it more it kind of reminds me of the one I liked from zappos)

Which one would you pick, or do you have a suggestion for something better?
