Dear Mia,
Happy Independence Day! I know, I haven’t been around much. I’ve been without internet for part of the week and I’m getting ready to be a bridesmaid in just a few days… it feels strange for my friends to be married. I did a hair and makeup test with the bride this morning and learned that my hair is definitely still too short for hot rollers. It was somewhere between hugely puffy and completely out of control.
In a few days things will be business as usual and I’ll be reading blogs regularly again. Until then!
Mia says
Hahaha–obviously I haven’t been around much either, and I don’t even have bridesmaid duties to account for my absence. Aaaaanyway, you look lovely and floaty in this dress! I don’t have any advice re: hot rollers since it’s been eons since I’ve had enough hair to roll, but I’m sure you’ve figured something out by now anyway, haha.
Caitlin says
Love this! You’ve been so into maxis lately!
Alex Elizabeth says
I have been indeed! Always loved long dresses (Edwardian might actually be my favorite fashion era– that or the 1920s), but I never really wore them until recently.
Glamamom says
Alex you look gorgeous. As always, I love it all. Hope you had a great holiday and had fun at your friend’s wedding! Pics pls!
Meanz Chan says
Aw, you look so adorable! I Love your flowy dress! Which hot rollers do you use? Are they just too thick? I really want some thin ones for my medium length hair…
Alex Elizabeth says
I used the Conair travel set, which only has five rollers I think. I do have a proper set but can’t find them! Part of the problem is that my hair is also really big– it has a slight natural curl and can get puffy just on its own.
laura says
Oh Alex, I think your hair is lovely! It’s not too short for rollers, they’re just too big for your hair! And I really love this dress on you. It’s gorgeous.
Alex Elizabeth says
Oh no… you didn’t see it before, haha. This is after rollers, after anti-frizz cream, and after water to try and relax it!
Nnenna says
