Football Season is Back!

Over Labor Day weekend I heading north to Gainesville for my first football game since graduating college.  It's weird to think I won't be sitting in the student section anymore or standing in line on Friday's to pick up my weekly Beat T-shirt from the student alumni association.  The first game of the year was against Toldeo and since it wasn't a big game for the Gators it started at 12:20... talk about the worst time for a football game in Florida... boy was it hot!  But we're used to that down here, the first few games of the season are almost always at noon.  I drove up with my friend Brittany Friday night and headed back home Saturday afternoon.  It was a quick trip, but it was worth it to see my Gators play in the Swamp again!  I cannot wait until the next home game so I can have a little longer visit (and maybe visit the new Lilly Pulitzer store that just opened in Gainesville!).

What I wore: Lilly Pulitzer Dress (old, similar), Jack Rogers Sandals, Monogrammed Necklace,
C. Wonder Earrings (mentioned here), Ralph Lauren Sunglasses

Did you watch football this Labor Day weekend?

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.

weekend recap

A few photos from this weekend.

How was your weekend?

First of the Lasts.

Tomorrow is the first day of my last spring semester at UF.  I cannot believe that my time as an undergrad at UF is going to be coming to and end very soon.  Part of me wants to fast-forward and be done with school and another part of me never wants school to end.  I'm conflicted.  I want to be a kid forever, yet I want to be an adult now.  It's hard to know what I want and when I want it to happen.

Have I confused you yet?! Well, I'm equally as confused as you are.

Here are a few pictures from Freshman year, when life was less confusing!

Hope everyone has a great start to their semester!

trip to baton rouge.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I would be traveling to Baton Rouge, Louisiana for the Florida/LSU football game.  Well, the Gators did not come out on top... In fact, we were horrible fans and left before the first half was even over.  I hate leaving games before the end of the third quarter.  I think if you're going to waste a ticket you should at least stay that long... But, not this time!  It was so hot, it was an afternoon game and the sun was beaming down right over the visitors section.  I got a weird sunburn on only the right side of my forehead (not fun!).  Not to mention our teams performance was embarrassing!  We didn't expect to win, I mean we haven't had the greatest season so far and it's always hard to play at Tiger Stadium... but this was pathetic!

Luckily, some of the group we tailgated with did not go to the game and were still hanging out, watching the game on TV.  So, we knew we had somewhere to go to wait for my wonderful uncle (who also did not attend the game) was able to drive right up to our tailgate area to pick us up!  During the game my aunt and uncle were babysitting my new baby cousin Smith, so they were very happy not to go the game.

My Gameday Outfit: J.Crew Floral Embroidered Sundress, Lilly Pulitzer bangle, J.Crew Jackie cardigan, Ralph Lauren sunglasses (similar)

Despite the horrible game (for us!), the trip was a lot of fun, because we got to meet our newest family member, Smith!  Obviously, this was the highlight of the trip.

Isn't he just adorable?  He's stolen my heart!

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Today is the UF vs. LSU game in Baton Rouge, LA.  I hope it goes well for the Gators, but it's always hard to play on another teams turf.

Go Gators!
