One of the many surprisingly simple pleasures from my Paris trip was the discovery of the celebration display of Barbie's 50th birthday. Growing up I played with Barbies and one Ken (yes, I have many Barbies, but only one Ken, and no, I'm not supporting polygamy. Barbie was just way more interesting). My Barbies had the most fabulous outfits, but when I saw the display at Galaries Lafayettes, I was blown away! The outfits were designed by world-renowned designers, especially for Barbie's big Five-O! I have to say, I'm rather jealous and wish I owned some of the amazing outfits. A girl can dream, n'est-ce pas? Enjoy!
