Love from Minnesota

Hi, friends! I know I've been a little quieter than usual, but I had a super hectic weekend traveling to and from Chicago and now my Dad is in town from Michigan until Thursday. Busy, busy, busy! But all is swell!

Last night my Dad and I talked, laughed, drank wine, and watched Modern Family. (I really, really love Cam. Sometimes I think he is the male version of me, but just a tad gayer.)

It's so nice to have my Dad in town; it only happens about once a year so I really have to enjoy him while he's here!

Thursday I am going in for a hair trim...I've been growing out my bangs for what seems like ages now. They are doing this side swoop thing. I need your advice friends - BANGS or NO BANGS? I'd love to here what you think. I miss them. A lot. But they also take forever to grow out!

  2. Gorgeous photos. I especially love the third one. You look so lovely. I'm glad to hear you're having an awesome time with your dad.

    On the bangs note, I would say grow them out, but that's only because I find bangs to be too much work. They get greasy, they do weird flippy things and they're just an all around pain the butt... or, at least, that's my experience with them.

  3. Oh god, my boss is so much like Cam. It's amazing.
    As for bangs, I say keep them! I have super rebellious hair, and I just keep my bangs in check by either: getting those suckers soaked and then blowing them dry. No brush, just finger comb and hot air from both directions to avoid a weird swoop. OR, I run them through my straightening iron while it's still heating up. Tames them and cleans up my whole look (plus it makes them less prone to poke me in the eye when they're a bit too long...haha)

  7. This pics are SO pretty! I'm so happy you're having fun with your pops! I love Modern Family, it's so funny and I think Mitchell and Cam are always my favorite storyline. As for the bangs- tough call. I sometimes miss my short bangs but it took so long with that crappy in-between stage that I don't want to go through that again (very dramatic!).I've had longer side bangs for awhile and I like having them but being able to put them behind my ear or in a pony if I want. That's my 2-cents :)

  8. Cam is my favorite.

    Bangs look cute on you, but I'd be tempted to keep growing them now that they're this long.

  11. I adore that dress! I know for me, bangs always sound like a good idea but they are just too much work and I can never get them to look good.

  12. I'm glad your having fun with your Dad! Wherever you are in these pictures looks amazing. We are up to our ears in snow, and there's currently a blizzard raging outside my window. We are all dreading the drive home...

    I have super short hair, so I'm pretty much all bangs. They cover what I always thought of as my ridiculous forehead. How do YOU feel about your forehead? I'm sure it's lovely!
