Look what came in the mail, right on time for the gorgeous weather Melbourne's been having these past few days. It's been so unusually nice that I've spent the past two days having picnic lunches in the park. So, on to the contents of the package! I received this dress from Button N Thread Boutique, all beautifully wrapped (thank you BNT).
I was worried it would be too clingy at first, but the material is a nice thick cotton so it's very comfortable. I love the white ruffles at the hem and the cotton eyelet detailing on the shoulders. And of course, what dress would be complete without a bow somewhere?
♥ Button N Thread Barbie dress | available in navy & grey
♥ Topshop patent leather wedges
♥ Diva silver leaf cuff
♥ Llama cuff (gift from friend)
The 'Barbie' dress is modelled off of one seen on Serena in Gossip Girl. Does anyone know which series/episode this photo above is from? I've watched up to episode twenty of season two and don't remember seeing it yet. I think the navy version is very reminiscent of the dress from the karen Walker S/S 2010 collection and, next time I wear it, I'm going to try some layering and a sun hat.
cute shoes, great dress
Love the dress!! :) and so jealous of the weather!...we are racing into winter here. hehe.
gorgeous! perfect for spring/summer :) i love how the skirt flares out a little at the hem. i don't remember serena wearing that dress on gg and i'm up to date! but perhaps she just wore it on set? in any case you look lovely!

Wow that's an adorable dress. Its got nice simple details. And I love how flawless your skin appears in these photos. And you must thank your friend because that llama bangle is amazing, I've never seen or heard of it.
Too sweet!
I haven't seen it on GG but it's on tonight at 10.30 on GO.
Season 3. X
I was thinking of Karen Walker's dress too! But then when aren't I...
I love how she layer little striped bike shorts/legging under that collection.
Gorgeous!!! I love the dress! xxx

thats a gorgoeus dress! the outfit has been put together flawlessly <3
I don't think its from gossip girl but just a paparazzi shot. Serena doesn't have a dog but that looks like Blake Lively's pet dog.
Oooh!! Such a cute dress!! I love it :D :D

what a beautiful dress. I love stripes at the bottom. the navy is much nicer than the grey!
Sad to say, but I've stopped following Gossip Girl. It sucks because I used to LOVE seeing what Serena and Blair would wear. That dress is adorbs, and it looks great on you!

adorable dress, you pull it off so well!
Very cute dress, love the silver leaf cuff! Have a fab week hun! xx
really nice :)
Lovely. I'm particularly charmed by the shoes. What a clever riff on nautical blues. I think the shot of Blake Lively is off the street...That dress just doesn't seem like Serena's onscreen rocker-luxe style ( not that I religiously watch the show or anything...!). Also, the dog is somewhat mystifying. Maybe he's her real life pet?
Love it, it looks so cute on you, really suits your style.
I adore the dress but those shoes=LOVE! They're amazing.
miss you are looking amazing :)
catching up on all your posts
stop by some time xx
take a peek at my giveaway while you're at it!
I think it looks super cute on you - and I love how you paired it with those shoes. And I hadn't thought about it but you're right, it looks very similar to the KW one x

I think it's a street photo, not from the show. She's carrying some weird dog/bear/ewok thing so...
Dress is adorable though :)

it's 4.30am in the morning too, almost woke the family
