Barbie Does it Again!

For many of young girls Barbie was a fun toy that they played with then they were young. For me Barbie is pretty much my idol. I mean who doesn't want a pink corvette, a cool younger sister named Stacy (ok it is spelled Stacie, but still), a dream house, horses, and endless outfits.

This week I found my new favorite Barbie's. These collector edition dolls retail for $150.00 each and come with 1 doll and 6 pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes, along with the corresponding boxes and bags. Truly any girl who loves shoes dream! If only they were that price for my size!

101 in 1001 Update

For my 101st blog, I thought it would be appropriate to do an 101 in 1001 update!!

#5- Use me SLR cameral once a month
So I havnt been using it all that much, but I did take it to Winter Light with me. Hope to use it some more soon, I forgot how much fun it can be.

#38- Attend a festival in Edmonton
Shaun and I went to WinterLight! It was really cool to see. Brett and I also went to see the Olympic torch in Edmonton. So technically I went to 2!

#72- Learn new office database
As some of you know I started a new job last week. I have officially learned the new database so #72 is stroked of the list!

#73- Develop a look book
I have a habit/hobby of buying wedding books. I love to look at them and gain ideas and inspiration for my event. I have started to tear the pages out and create a folder of some of my favorite ideas. It is pretty fun to flip through and see them all.

#93- Wear a different pair of shoes everyday of the week
So this was a fun one! Especially getting back into the office. Here is a rundown of the shoes that I wore: White Puma Runners, Pink Barbie Heels, Zebra Barbie Heels, Silver Heels, Black Heels, Black Runners, White Heels

I have been able to stroke off lots of my items lately, now I just need to get on the travel ones!

Happy 50th Anniversary Barbie

Since I was a little girl my sister and I have always loved Barbie. While most girls have a few Barbie's that they play with, we were the exact opposite. Barbie was a staple in our lives until we were in the double digits. For Christmas we not only got Barbie's but we got everything that Barbie would ever need. We had Barbie Jeep's, houses, blenders, countless of outfits, and over 20 Barbies, Stacie's, Ken's, Kevin's and Skipper.

This year Barbie celebrated 50 years, which i think in today's era is a feat in its self. At the past New York Fashion week (which I will talk about in the weeks to come) Barbie had a fashion show to herself. Top designers were asked to create looks of what they thought Barbie should look like. I think the show was one of the most amazing fashion shoes I have watched over the years and one of the best parts were the shoes!

I have always had a love for shoes, especially shoes with a meaning behind them. This week I found out that Town Shoes were carrying limited edition Barbie shoes from the fashion show. Tonight I made my way to West Edmonton Mall to find the collection. After trying on 3/7 pairs of the collection, I couldn't part with 2 pairs. They are now my most beloved shoes ever!

Congratulations to you Barbie! Hope that there are 50 more years in the works for the next generations of young girls to experience!!
