Found this silk georgette butterfly print dress at a thrift shop a few weeks ago and wore it to lunch in Mill Valley on Sunday.  It's for sure of my best finds of the summer by far.  For those of you not familiar with the area, Mill Valley is in Marin County, right over the Golden Gate Bridge.  It's known for it's houseboats, its left-wing politics, and its L.A.-shunning celebrities. Plus it's sunny 90% of the time, regardless of how overcast it is in the City.  Everytime I go over there I think ,"why don't we come out here more often?"  I guess the fact that it's a bridge toll away, makes it mentally seem further than it is?  Whatever the reason, I definitely plan on spending more time on this side of the bay in months to come-- Indian Summer is just around the corner!

  4. These photos are so beautiful! Summer isn't really my favorite season (I'm a cool weather gal), but something about vacationing at the beach has made me nostalgic for all things hot, sunny, and hazy. And I am absolutely smitten with your dress! The butterfly print and floaty fabric make for a really beautiful, romantic look. :)
