Fresh Hair

My vitamins have finally kicked in and my hair has been growing like crazy. I took your suggestions and cut it shorter (and  had it bleached). Here's the new do (without product and styled on the short side - longer strands are tucked behind my ear):



ignore the clutter, plz.

 This was 'fresh' from the salon, so there is no product in it all. I think the color is too yellow, but I can correct that easily with a few doses of purple shampoo. OR.... if all else fails, I'll put my 'white lady' toner on it tomorrow. With a bit of color adjusting and styling products, my hair should resemble something like this (with a little extra around the ears for styling options): 

Did I mention I'm going to ROME next weekend????!! I am beyond excited. I've never been to Italy, so the opportunity to visit this gorgeous city on a weekend was too good of a chance to pass up. 

This trip should be a little bit easier than London since there will only be 3 of us. As much as I loved London, it was tricky to accommodate 7 people's personal agendas and varying budgets.

It's 97 degrees in Rome! Can you believe that? I'm a Northern girl, so I will probably be molting the entire trip.   

Blogger help - I'll need more tips on where to go again. Especially for food. I hear you can get ripped-off with bad American-ized Italian food in the tourist zones.

This is a huge city, so besides the Vatican and the Coliseum - where else should I head?? Where is the best boutique shopping at?
