...this & that...Thursday.

Sorry it's late...the scheduling feature on Blogger didn't work right, anyhow...On to ...this & that... Thursday!

As always, today is one of my favorite posts.  I really like sharing with you things I like and great, fun finds.  Yes, yes, I know I did that yesterday with my Let's go shopping! post.  However, I just can't keep all the fabulous finds to myself, it wouldn't be right if I didn't share, right?  So, I'm going to sharing a bunch of a little of ...this and a little of that... with you this evening.

Oh, and before I forget I need to clear a little something up:  I guess my post yesterday for Wanderlust Wednesday was a little to good to be true...  Some of you thought I was really going to London and the Royal Wedding.  Ummm, no.  I WISH!  But, I'm not.  Now, let me go further and clarify that my intention was not to deceive you but merely make you believe that "WE", yes we meaning "you and me" were really going on a trip to London.  And I guess I absolutely, positively nailed it!!!!  Wouldn't you agree?  Again, I apologize for any confusion.  I am really trying for perfection with Wanderlust Wednesday's and the escape I want to provide for myself and to you the readers.  Anyhow, I hope you liked it.  And in case you missed it you can read it here.

Don't forget to stop by Friday morning and see my outfit that I am virtually wearing to the wedding.  I'm linking the outfit up for Fashion Fridays over at Blonde Episodes and Friday's Fancies over at {long distance loving}.  And I guarantee you there will be some fabulous outfits!  Just fabulous, mine included of course.


And for some awesome "real" coverage of the Royal Wedding stop by Simply Colette who really IS in London for the wedding.  And might I add she's had some very Royal encounters...

If your interested in more of the wedding you might want to hop over to Danielle from Breakfast for Toast's wedding week blog crawl in honor of William and Kate's upcoming nuptials.  She has some very fun posts, all wedding themed of course. 

Liesl put together a Look 4 Less of an outfit Miss Kate Middleton wore and it looks fabulous for less!  And let me just say that Liesl is pretty talented with creating these Looks for Less, oh yes she is!  Check her out.

I found this fabulous virtual shop!  Oh yes I did.  How about a handcrafted bag or clutch from Cory Renee's etsy shop!  This Mad Men inspired clutch grabbed my attention.  And don't worry if you like the style but not the color "choose" the custom option and create your own.  I absolutely love that the inside of the clutch is a fabulous contrasty pattern or color.  My favorite is this black and white clutch however, I'm really tempted to create my own...  Which one is your favorite?

This clutch is mine.  All mine.  I'll already have bought it by the time you read this.  It SCREAMS my name, seriously it is.  Don't tell me you can't hear it.  This is such a fun, fun, and fun some more purse.
 I can so see this clutch being in my next photo shoot with Mia Stella Photography!

Make a clutch all your one...custom.

I think I need this one too!



I think Leeann from Join the Gossip would like this yellow number but, then again so do I...

 

Doesn't this "pop" of pink just scream your name?  It screams mine. 
And I think it screams Kori's name from Blonde Episodes, too...

I'd love to hear which clutch you want.  Or what your custom creation would consist of...

What are your thoughts on a beach tote? An airplane friendly one that is.  One that can double as my purse for my getaway weekends to the beach.  Check out the ones I found...

In black...?

Ideally the tote needs to work for 2 people.  Yes, that means I carry Bern's stuff too.  Normally when we hit the beach we each have are own bag but, its good to have room for other extra items too.  So, the bag needs to be big enough to hold the following:  towel, book, magazine, suntan lotion, sunscreen, chapstick, bottle of water, IPOD, cell phone (preferable a pocket or 2),  camera.  Hmmm, did I forget anything?  And most importantly the bag "must" be beach friendly.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.  Have a fabulous Thursday and I hope you enjoyed today's ...this & that... post.
