It’s this dress from Giambattista Valli’s spring collection. Love it, but will have to fall into a giant pool of money to afford it …..

…. as this dress (from the same collection) is selling at Bergdorf Goodman for $3820. Bolero not included.  So, so pretty all the same.

Southern Accents’ blog, Miss Gracious Living, previewed a story from the May/June issue with this photo. Can’t wait to read all about Frank Stitt’s Slow Food luncheon.
