You say Barbie, I say heaven. Tonight was the unveiling of the one-of-a-kind Barbie Basics dolls, decked to the nines by some of your favorite designers. There are 12 limited edition dolls, available for purchase now in Ebay.
These Barbies aren't just any Barbies. They are high fashion, serious business ladies rocking outfits created by some of today's hottest talent, including Rachel Roy, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Isaac Mizrahi and my personal favorite, Subversive Jewelry. If you're the ultimate Barbie collector, you can bid on these dolls through the next six days on Ebay. Bids start at $100.
If you don't get your hands on one of these stunners (and I know you want one!), you can still get your own Barbie Basics. Available in a variety of skin tones and little black dress styles, each doll comes ready to be accessorized with the finest. There are 12 dolls in total, the same dolls available for auction minus the one-of-a-kind pieces, ready to be dressed in whatever your heart desires. Accessory packs are available to create your ultimate fashion fantasy.
I was fortunate to get Barbie Basics #8 and accessory pack #1, my favorite because it features a laptop (you know my Barbie is a blogger too). The Barbie Basics dolls mark the first time the CFDA has put their logo on a consumer product. If that doesn't make these high fashion enough for you, each box features a quote from one of the CFDA's finest. My box features Diane von Furstenberg's take on the little black dress - "The little black dress is the passport to elegance!"
In the gallery below, view 11 of the 12 glorious creations (my photo of Monica Botkier's doll unfortunately didn't come out well). These dolls are ready for the spotlight and a place in your home. Click through to view the dolls - tell me in the comments which doll is your favorite!
C'mon - who doesn't jump at the chance to do/see/be anything Barbie? In my head, I'm plus size fashion blogger Barbie - they produce those, right? Well, if they don't, perhaps my outfit influenced a future model. I firmly believe what my shirt says - "Any Ken can do, Barbie can do better." There was no perfect outfit for a night like tonight -
