What Royar's Reading: MAY

LOVED this book! A definite classic.

Not one of Nicholas Spark's best books.  Totally predictable.

Kind of confusing, but keeping the mental picture of Zac Efron as Charlie made it much better.

Very sweet story. Super-quick read.

I think everyone should read the chapter about Gone With The Wind (2nd chapter if you're wondering), but other than that, I struggled through the rest.

Depressing. Don't read if you want to be a counselor or love your camp.

A little too long, a little confusing, but still a decent book.

What did you read in May?

Memorial Day 2011

Perfectly Polished

Since I wear sandals nearly every day in the spring and summer, I always have my nails done!  My favorite polish to use when I paint my nails myself is Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Polish.  It comes in super cute colors and it dries really quickly which is perfect when I'm doing them myself.

I currently have it in lilac and pale pink!

Another brand I love is Essie!

Isn't their summer collection adorable?

Plan It!

With the end of the 4th quarter next week and exams starting soon, I rely on my planner even more than I already do.  I probably wouldn't function without my planner.  

Currently, I'm using the Lilly Pulitzer Large Agenda!

 It's has a weekly and monthly planner, as well as adorable stickers, a notes section and a birthday organizer!  I will definitely be ordering another for next year! The biggest issue is, what color do I get?

Do you use a planner? Where is yours from?

What's In My Bag? Summer 2011

I realized I haven't done this since last September! Currently, I'm still carrying around my medium Beige Longchamp, but I'm trying to decide if I want to get another or wether I want to try something new. I absolutely adore these bags because they're perfect to hold everything I need especially when getting into and out of school.

 

It's contents currently include:

Lilly Pulitzer Planner

Notebook

Lilly Pulitzer Makeup Case

Wayfarers and two pairs of nameless sunglasses I got in West Virginia (Can't beat $4 apiece)

Brooks Brothers Wallet, currently stuffed with reciepts

Wayfarer Case

Vera Bradley ID Holder and Keys

What are you carrying around this summer?

Guest Posts

As y'all know, I will be leaving for camp June 10th and won't be home until July 10th.  I have scheduled some blog posts, but trying to come up with an entire month of posts weeks in advance is proving difficult. If you would like to write a guest blog post for me, please email me at youngsouthernprep {at} gmail {dot} com.

Thanks in advance!

Car Accessories

 A few weeks ago, a reader from tumblr asked me to do a post about preppy cars and car accessories!

A Boat and Tote

or a Junque Trunk are a must for any preppy trunk..

A pair of sunglasses or two hanging from the rearview mirror are always a plus..

{via TFM}

And lastly, 

Prep school stickers, College Stickers and Clothing Stickers are perfect to adorn the rear window! I recommend: 

Southern Tide

Volunteer Traditions

Monogram Decals

How do you preppify your car?

Francesca Joy

Francesca Joy Products are the most unique totes and wristlets available today.  Both hand-painted and one of a kind, they are created by a team of three designers.  I won Nautical By Nature's FJ Wristlet giveaway a few months ago and I chose the Mr. Lemonade Print!

It's super cute, and I most recently used it to carry all of my AP Euro notecards!  I can't wait to use it when going out this summer! They also carry tote bags, which are adorable and available to be customized!

Do you own anything from Francesca Joy?

J. Crew Purchases

A few weeks ago, I stopped into the J. Crew Outlets and picked up a few cute new things for summer!

The J. Crew Factory Store is definitely a step in the right direction!

Rompin' Around

I'm not going to lie, I love my rompers. When I got the romper I had been lusting after at the J. Crew outlet last summer for $10.48, I fell in love.  It was just so darn comfortable, like a dress, but with shorts.  I've been on the hunt to find a similar style and cut and these are my favorites so far:

Casbah Romper

Pinup Romper

Garden Gallery Romper

Buttoned Floral Romper

Floral One Shoulder Romper

Do you rock the romper?

The Dahl House

One of my favorite parts about my room is all the picture frames I have on my bedside table, dresser and bookshelf.  I have recently been on the hunt for some more unique and cuter frames than I could find at Michael's and Target.  Then I stumbled upon The Dahl House.  

The Girls

Logo and Icon Frame

Classic Monogram

Pink Nautical Striped

Palm Tree

Two Stripe Frame

Any of these would make perfect graduation gifts!

My Lilly Dresses

This is one of my newest Lilly dresses! It's the Bel Air in Lilly Pad.  I've only worn it to PB's Family Weekend since I purchased it in August but I think it will be super cute this spring with either a pink or green cardigan!

Do you own a Bel Air dress?
