more pictures from monterey! these were shot along the scenic 17 mile drive, which is basically a touristy little drive that loops around the area past the ocean and through a bunch of golf courses in a very wealthy area down in monterey. you pay to get in and they give you a little numbered map with silly locations like the “ghost tree!” i don’t have the little brochure, but it says something cheesy about how the dead trees have been bleached by the wind and sea. there were a lot of people mulling about snapping touristy pictures, so we decided to join in and get our own. despite the spectacle of it, i have to admit that this whole area is absolutely stunning. it brought back memories of some of the bike tours i’ve gone on that passed through this area and down into big sur along highway one. i read on a postcard once that someone famous referred to the area as the most beautiful convergence of land and sea…

Oh yay, Pebble Beach! We rented a house in there briefly, so had a pass to get in, but once we moved back out to Pacific Grove I had piano lessons and friends who lived in there, so we could usually get in without paying, citing one of those reasons – whether or not they were the real reason for us wanting to get in! Garage sales or looking at open houses were also good excuses. :) Perhaps they’re much stricter about it nowadays, though.
I kind of can’t wait for fall jackets again, and this one is wonderful xxx
I am in love with that dress!!
Your shoes rock!

i love 17 mile drive. wish i had a chance to go back before i move out of california- the landscapes back east are not as breathtaking as those in this wondrous state.

I have this dress and love it to bits. It really suits you and the mood of the landscapes! It’s incredible I’ve seen this dress styled b different bloggers and it seems to fit everyone and to bend to every style, even though it’s kind of an outfit in itself.
Once again, lovely photos (and amazing vintage shoes!!)
That is one cute dress! And I like the colour of the coat with the blue too :)
Wow so chic… I always love you look hun!
Love,

I was at the 17 mile drive in June and I have pics of that tree too :) It’s a beautifu place. Thanks for this post, it’s a nice reminder to me of my holiday in the US. And I love your outfit! The navy dress is such a pretty classic with its ric rac edging the peter pan collar and the double breasted button front.
Looks like you were not alone : )
Lovely pictures x
The peter pan collar of your dress is beyond precious. I love the white fabric and design too. beautiful dress.
What a sweet dress! I love your coat and shoes with it, it makes it feel womanly.
