Mary Van Notes

The weather here the last few days has been beautiful and spring-like.  If you don’t believe me, check out the front page of the SF Examiner (found via calivintage tumblr):

I took the opportunity to bring out a vintage eyelet-y dress paired with a new bright slip, and some darling tights.   I’ve definitely been inspired by Prada’s spring 2011 line with its bright colors and round white specs.  I still get happy and excited every time I watch this video:
