Splurge or Save: Wedding Clutches


Happy Friday! Aren’t you so excited the weekend is here? This post comes at a perfect time for you brides looking to take care of the little things this weekend.  This week we’re talking about wedding clutches for the big day! We can show you two of our favorite picks for the essential piece that completes that wedding outfit!

Wedding Day Clutch: SAVE

The Nina Beaded Frame Clutch is the perfect complement to your wedding dress. It comes in a variety of finishes and is big enough to fit your day of essentials.  The satin lining gives it that feminine touch that’s a sweet surprise.  It can be worn as a clutch or has an extended strap as an extra detail.  At $125 you can’t go wrong with this style, even after your wedding day! Available at www.nordstroms.com





Wedding Day Clutch: SPLURGE

Our pick for over the top clutch is Jimmy Choo’s Glitter Clutch.  Often women never want to treat themselves to a party clutch because its impractical.  But in our opinion, this one actually is! It’s versatile, comes in a variety of colors and truly a gem that you can hold onto for a long time.  If you’re feeling extra special and want to splurge since you’ve been so good at being on budget (wink wink), this clutch is $595 and available at www.jimmychoo.com

Whether you love to bat those beautiful eyes or pout those sexy lips, SOSN’s got the right picks for you.  We can show you how to look like a million bucks on your day without paying for it or if this is the one item you MUST have, then we’re going to help you make sure it’s worth it!

1.                             Mascara: SAVE
 CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara, Black Brown 870 - 1 ea
Our save pick to enhance and make those lashes unforgettable is Covergirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara.  At $8.99 a tube at your local CVS, this purple colored miracle worker does it all.  It lengthens and volumizes with one swoop from root to tip and accentuates even the tiniest lashes, making your eyes the centerpiece when you walk down the aisle!

Mascara: SPLURGE
Our pick for the ultimate lash experience is Christian Dior’s DiorShow.  This lash enhancing mascara is a miracle in a tube.  It will take your lashes from zero to sixty with one application.  DiorShow will give your lashes the same effect that a set of falsies will and the state of the art wand is designed to fan out your lashes to give them just enough of that dramatic flair that every bride needs on her wedding day.  At $25.00 a tube at www.sephora.com, this pick is worth every cent!

 

2.       Lipstick : SAVE
 Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick, Soft Nude 070 - .13 oz
What better way to enhance a beautiful bride’s smile than with the perfect color on her lips.  Our pick to save a little money to make that pout perfect is REVLON Color Burst Lipstick.  The variety of shades makes this the perfect accessory for every bride and the weightless feel makes you feel as though you’re not wearing anything at all.  At $5.00-$6.00 per tube, this budget friendly pick is more than enough reason to keep you smiling all day!


Lipstick: SPLURGE
 
For some brides, the lipstick in her clutch is the one thing that she could not do without.  If your lipstick is your do or die item, then we recommend NARS Lipsticks for the big day and everyday after.  The variety of colors are great for every woman and it comes in both a matte or creamy finish and at $24.00 a tube, make sure this is the one!  Whatever your preference, you will certainly make an entrance and we guarantee that you will shine on your wedding day!
