Memorial Day

Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery, where my Uncle Stephen, Major in the US Army and Persian Gulf Veteran is buried. To all of my relatives who have served our country, thank you. To all of the men and women serving our country today, thank you. Let us stop and thank those who are serving our country and remember what the true meaning of Memorial Day is.

Twitter Posts

I am taking a break for the next two weeks, during which I will have: 6 final exams, 2 tests, 1 vocab quiz, 1 paper and 1 packet of 15 latin poem translations due.  I will keep in touch over Twitter (hint: If you don't follow me, you Totes McGotes should.) Here is what I have done in the past two hours: Studied French, Conjugated Verbs, Checked FB, Checked Gmail, Checked Outlook, Checked Twitter, Listened to French Music on Pandora, and studied more French.

Summary of my night in four tweets:

8:24 pm: J'ai mon français demain finale! J'adore le français, il est toute ma vie! Mais alors, je souhaite que je n'écrivais pas ce ton sarcastique.


9:04 pm: I really shouldn't be taking 2 languages...I now type in a Latin/French mix. Et write the word 'and' as et. Like I just did. 


9:36 pm: Listening to Ratatat & Daft Punk on Pandora...Daft Punk is a french band...that counts as studying, right?


10:01 pm: I keep obsessively checking FB, Gmail, Outlook & Twitter; I've tweeted more in the last two hours than I have ever. Hmm...Tres interessant

Somehow describing my life seems cooler in 140 characters or less.

Fab Friday!

Hey yall!

Today, I got an email from Lilly Pulitzer (they're my fave to get!) showcasing the Jarvey Skort! I am literally planning to be at my local Lilly tomorrow morning to try one on!  They are fun, sassy and perfect for summer! I can't wait to get my hands on one! Also, J. Crew has added the cutest colors of 5" shorts (they call them the Oxford Short) to their collection - pick them up in indigo, lilac and watermelon!

Unfortunatley, blogger won't let me add in pictures, but yall can click on the clothing name to check it out!

WIRW Wednesdays II

What is Royar wearing?

A gray J. Crew knit dress, red ballet flats.  I also wear five pieces of signature jewelry every day: Pearl Studs, A necklace with my late grandma's initials, Signet ring with my initials, My late grandma's watch and a white pearl bracelet (that is unfortunately at the jewelers).

I need to tell ya'll about my day because it was definitely a fab day.  We had our last Happy Club meeting today, which was a little emotional for me because today is my last day as secretary and my last meeting in the middle school.  (9th grade is considered the middle school.)  We raised $5,000 dollars this year, which will fund 21 surgeries for Operation Smile. If ya'll don't know what Operation Smile is, it is a fabulous organization that provides free surgeries for children in third-world countries. This organization is very near and dear to my heart! Normally, I don't ask for things like this, but if ya'll would be so kind as to vote for Operation Smile in the Member's Project, which will award one charity $200,000.  This is 830 surgeries for Op Smile! Here is the link: Member's Project.  Thanks so much!

Catch up!

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the missed post yesterday! I worked at the State Lacrosse Championships yesterday until 7 and today from 2-6 again! It was so much fun! I had to sell concessions for our schools Happy Club, which is a club that raises awareness for Operation Smile.  I love the club so much! One of my dearest friends is President and I am secretary.  I had so much fun working with her yesterday and today and we both saw a LOT of cute boys. I mean, I love lacrosse and I love cute boys. But what do I really really love? Cute boys playing lacrosse. Oh me, oh my. Plus, I saw a ton of PB's friends and it was great to catch up with all of them.  Now, a little JSYK (Just So You Know) I might be a little MIA this week, as I have four tests, three quizzes and two projects next week.  Yay for 8th week teacher assignment cramming!

Now for my catch up:

FASHION FRIDAY

While on the hunt for PB's gifts for his birthday, I went straight to the usual Brooks Brothers and then decided to go a little out of the way for his birthday.  He already has enough cologne to stock Sephora, so I got him a belt from Eliza B/Leather Man Ltd. It is hunter green and has Black Labs on it. HE LOVES IT! The leather quality is amazing and there are so many options to choose from! Below is the basic belt, and there are 441 (yes, four hundred and forty-one) different ribbons to choose from.

SUPER-BLOGGER SATURDAY

This week's supper-blogger is College Prepster.  CP, your blog, in one word, is amazing. I want my blog to be your blog. Whenever I see a post pop up from you in my reading list, it makes me uber-happy! Readers, if you are not following her blog, you are missing out on a real treat.

I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas

I know that it is indeed May 11th, and nowhere near the Holiday season, but I have had a terrible month week day, and whenever I need some insta-happiness, I watch/listen to this, from the fabulous musical White Christmas (If you haven't seen it, you haven't lived). Here are my two favorite numbers: Mandy & The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing.

Oh, if only I could dance like Vera-Ellen.

Update on my life & Changes!

Hi everyone!

Firstly, Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!

So, here is a much needed recap on my life the past few weeks! I finished lacrosse week before last and I miss my team already! We finished 9 and 2 and undefeated in our conference! PB came home this past Wednesday and he celebrated his 20th birthday yesterday! It's so hard to believe he is twenty years old! He got some Brooks Brothers polos, which made him VERY happy.  School is finishing up in about 3 weeks and I am so looking forward to summer! I also get my permit in about a month! I am so excited to be able to drive. But the most important question. What kind of car do I want?

I have decided that I need to stop blogging about nonsense and make topic themed days. So, now I will be offering:

Music Mondays: My top five picks of the week
What-is-Royar-wearing Wednesdays: My outfit will be documented every Wednesday
Fashion Fridays: My fave finds of the Preppy World
Super-blogger Saturdays: My favorite Blog of the moment


Have a fab week!

Still Alive!

Hi everyone!

I am still breathing after last week and not looking forward to the next few - yikes! I promise a macho post will be coming up this weekend with pictures! Have a great week!

PS This is where I would MUCH rather be right now.....

Social Climbers

I just finished reading Social Climbers, by the fabulous Beth Dunn.  It was one of the best preppy books I have read.  I laughed so much at some parts, realizing that some women just never grow up.  Haven't read it yet? You're missing out on a GREAT book.

PS Happy Derby Day!
