As a Southern states girl, I had a misconception of Minnesota.
Cold.
Bland.
Cold.
But my God, I fell in love with it immediately. Something about feeling safe, feeling included, feeling the NICENESS. I just can’t get enough. The events, festivals, parades, restaurants, businesses all have a wholesome and welcoming feel. Texas, Arizona, and California will never compare.
We attended the reception of our friends Wedding at Surly Brewing Co on a surprisingly warm night for October. If you go, you must try the COFFEE BENDER. I am royally addicted.

The dress is from Olive + Oak – Mimi Maxi Column Dress! Lots of compliments. SO versatile. I’m so happy I got it!
