Hello Gorgeous!  A big thanks to the Yummy Mummy Club, as this past weekend, my daughter M and I walked the “Pink Carpet” at the movie premier of Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale.  M was esctatic about the show, and I was ecstatic about meeting the lovely ladies of the deliciously cheeky Yummy Mummy Club - created by mom-preneur Erica Ehm of MuchMusic VJ fame.  M was in for a treat, who enjoyed the afternoon with her cousins; and Barbie, herself, even made an appearance, sending all the girls wild with excitement. The event was a ton of fun for all the little Barbies at heart…and for us mommies who love living in a Barbie world.

The night before the event, the question remained...what was I to wear?  Since Barbie is hip and trendy, we had to make sure we arrived in style and very Barbie-licious. M wore her princess pink dress with the Stella & Dot Allie necklace and white Gracie flower in her hair. So adorable!  I couldn’t resist adding a touch of pink to my outfit, so I wore one of my favourite Stella & Dot signature necklaces: The Colette – totally rocker chic with mixed chains and metals, softened with pearls and a gorgeous blush coloured ribbon.  It’s a versatile piece that allows you to tie it up tight like a choker, have a bow to the side, or tied long – like how I wore it with my black tunic and skinny jeans.

And can I just say this: you HAVE to check out Barbie on the big screen – she does a fantastic job of layering with different lengths of sparkling chains, which is a perfect match to a basic black tee canvas.  M even mentioned that her favourite part of the movie was the clothing – “Barbie sure is fashionable"!  I don’t recall having this much fun as a child, and the Pink Carpet event was definitely a highlight in our books.

So what did I learn from Barbie this weekend?  To discover my inner sparkle and that magic can happen when you believe in yourself.  Barbie is truly an inspiration to all girls around the world, and she inspires the little ladies to be anything they want to be!  Now I have to ask you – who do you want to be, and are you being her today?  Well...what are you waiting for?!?  It's time to get Barbie-licious!
