Barbie has had quite the anniversary buzz celebrating her big 5-0. And who could do it better than the always glamorous lady herself? From fashion shows that have honored the four decade glam doll to deluxe items designed in admiration of her success, I have got to say being plastic pays off.

If you happen to be in Paris, France March 9th-28th check out Barbie’s birthday celebration at Colette. At this boutique will be all things that credit the bombshell’s success. If it’s anything like a Barbie dream world there has got to be lots and lots of pink oh and a delicious looking Ken!!

Exclusive designs for the Barbie collection by Jeremy Scott and products from Bless, Goyard, Azumi & David, and Uslu Airlines will be available.

Also listed for the anniversary is the release of limited edition products from designers selected by Colette- Married to the Mob, Bruno Frisoni, Alexis Mabille, Barbie Rocks of Beverly Hills, Jawbone, Domestic, and Linda Farrow.

Dylan’s Candy Bar sweets (btw, chocolate is my weakness) and special edition Le Baiser dessert by Laduree will make tasty treats for the celebration!

Guest can also enter the gallery of “Barbie and Ken” by Karl Lagerfeld. Images of Barbie and Ken (portrayed by model Baptiste Giabiconi) can be found here, and let me say they are so adorable. If you are one who has collector’s fetish, the photos in the gallery will be available for purchase.

Be sure to check out all the collabo’s from designers selected by Colette and Stila cosmetics.

Goodness, if I had the money and a passport I would book my flight TONIGHT!!!!

I tried using a bluetooth headset a few years back and gave up after about 3 tries. It was a big deal to get me to walk around with something on my head that made me look like an alien maniac - trust me. But, to have it not work really well and feel like I couldn’t hear anything was just too much. It got tossed into the pile of stuff never to be used again. A few weeks ago I came across Jawbone and said Halleluja! Someone has heard my prayers for a nice, sleek looking bluetooth headset. One that is more like jewelry, since after all, it’s on your face! I personally was hoping something a bit more bamboo inspired so I could coordinate my bluetooth with my earrings but this is close enough.

The design of the new Jawbone is unparalleled in its sleek simplicity. The headset comes in gold, black or silver finish with optional fine leather earloops. Not only do they look good, but they have a feature called “noise assassin” that picks up your voice and kills all the other annoying sounds in the background. Check out these videos to see how they work. Jawbone is the future! I can’t wait to get one.
