Graduation Pictures {1}

Those of you who are longtime readers of Southern Royalty know that I graduated from college a few weeks ago.  A couple of days before graduation my family came up to Gainesville so we could take graduation pictures around campus.  However the day we had planned to take pictures, the weather was horrible.  It was freezing and the sky was grey.  This was certainly not optimal photo shoot weather.  We decided to delay the pictures a day, but we did walk around campus for a little while taking a few casual pictures.

Here are a few of the fun pictures we took that day.

Friday's Fancies : New Year's Eve

I'm back with another fun link-up with AV from long distance loving!  This week is all about what to wear for New Years Eve.  Typically, I am not much of a NYE person... I don't usually go out to crazy parties or stay out all night.  Sometimes I go to a fun dinner with friends, but I'm usually home by 10:30 or 11:00.  I know, I know... BORING!  But, that's just fine with me. 

Well... if I was going to a fun party, this is probably what I would wear.

Blouse | Earrings | Necklace | Pixie Pant | Pumps

Do you have big New Years Eve plans?

Happy December!

Happy December! 

I cannot believe in a few short days I will be finished with my undergraduate college career.  It feels like just a few months ago I came to the University of Florida and started my first semester.  I remember walking the campus with my parents to find each of my classes the week before school started.  I was so worried that I would get lost and be late to my first day of school.  It was only a matter of weeks before I had my routine down pat and campus started to feel like home.  It's strange to think I won't be walking Museum Road or heading to Weimer Hall for classes anymore. 

The next few days will be spent on-campus studying and preparing for my senior project.

How are you spending the first few days of December? 

xoxo
