Pin It


When we were planning a fun little evening for my friend Kate's bridal shower, 
we weren't really sure WHAT to do with the little time we had.

When Kate called invited us to come to Dry Bar with her she unknowingly planned her own little party. Someone was going to wash my hair?  And then blow dry it out without it looking like I got electrocuted?  And then they were going to curl it?! And put product in it??!?!  

ALL WHILE I DRANK A MIMOSA, chatted with the girls, and for only 
THIRTY FIVE dollhairs?!?

sign me up.  I would do this again and again and again.
One of the most fun things ever, we had a blast and headed out for dim sum afterwards.

As much as I am glad we are home in Michigan, I do miss seeing these girls.
It was so fun to have them around to hang out with.
Here are some photos from the evening...






an outtake for your viewing pleasure. michaela & I need to get it together...
Fast forward three weeks and Kate is now married, and she was a beauty of a bride... here is a photo I snatched from their sneak peek album.  Photo credit goes to The Reason out of Atlanta, Georgia. 

gorgeous, right?

  1. BEAUTIFUL bride!! Love that photo! And this looks like so much fun! I've only been to a blow dry bar once and even though I came out looking like shirley temple....it was so much!

    PS - I think you should buy a LOT more red for your wardrobe. Such a good color on you!
