I’ve compiled for you, THE ultimate LA list of all the best Barbie inspired, pink aesthetic places to bring your Barbie girls to! Share this with a friend you’d like to party with and PIN the above image for reference later!

1).  World of Barbie📍 395 Santa Monica Place

Barbie fanatics MUST stop into this Santa Monica popup before it leaves LA. Think: life -sized dream: camper, closet, kitchen, movie theater, rocket and living room! Life in plastic really IS fantastic! Think historical snippets of Barbie’s: life, career, and cars, (plus a million photogenic spots to snap a selfie)! Note-groups of 6 or more qualify for a discount. And evening “sips after sunset” special events for adults (only) are fun options too! For an extra fee, you can even create a customizable doll set. What a fun experience! Expect to spend about 60-90minutes here depending on how many pics you plan to take, how long you play in the ball pit, and whether you’re stopping for an outfit change in their bathroom.😆

2).  Piink Pilates 📍 837 Traction Ave in Los Angeles

Get your Barbie dream body in the cutest pink studio ever!! Designed and led by pilates teacher, Chrissa Sparkles (don’t you love her name)?? it’s a high intensity fusion of mat pilates and strength training using (pink) Bala equipment for 45 minutes. It’s SO pretty in pink you won’t be able to resist taking some workout pics here.  It’s a good thing that pictures are encouraged and time is even allotted before and after class for you to shoot for the gram. ‘Cuz if you don’t take a pic and share it with the world, were you even really there??

3).  The Beverly Hills Hotel Polo Lounge & pool  📍 9641 Sunset Blvd, Beverly Hills

If you’re not willing to shell out top dollar for a hotel stay at the iconic, Beverly Hills Hotel, where their fabulous pink pool area resides, no worries. Just book an overpriced restaurant reservation instead at the Polo Lounge. 😆 Ask for one of their booths and you’ll be surrounded by palms and pink. It’s a dreamy combo, isn’t it?  AND if you go soon, you’ll also be able to hit the Dior (pink) popup for an extra girly shopping adventure!

This iconic pink wall has been a pit stop for pictures before the days of Instagram and has blown up since. On any given day, you will undoubtedly see people posing there. It is actually estimated that over 55,000 people visit this wall every year! Why? Because it’s a massive, 20’, eye-catching pink wall, and it provides an irresistible, cheery backdrop. What Barbie lover wouldn’t appreciate that?

5).  Le Coco Restaurant 📍 11901 Lakewood Blvd. Downey, CA

This pink restaurant combines the love of pink with the love of Chanel and provides the perfect meetup spot for any girly girl. We loved their brunch and were wowed by all the pretty in pink details and their unforgettable, pink mimosa tree. This inconspicuous little restaurant in a strip mall is the cutest little spot in the Inland Empire area to celebrate all things Barbie, or any birthday, bridal shower or bachelorette for that matter!

6).  Pink & Boujee 📍 948 Crocker St Los Angeles, CA 90021

And of course, you’ll find the requisite pink phone booth and floral pink entrance here with a Barbie pink interior to really set the mood.

7). Cafe Landwer (limited time Barbie themed menu) 📍 10250 Santa Monica Blvd.

This Mediterranean restaurant at Westfield’s Century City mall is serving up dollhouse (pink) hummus, glitz and glitter rose’, and pretty in pink waffles. Reservations needed.

The W. Washington Blvd location is the largest and most Instagramable of the 3 locations (the Century City location is almost like a little popup with cute mural wall (pictured below). And the Beverly Hills one is the newest and mid-sized of all 3. I need to go back to try their beautiful avocado toast topped with flowers!!  But if you also agree that your coffee tastes better pink and when served in an aesthetic location, you’ll need to add this cute cafe to your bucketlist!

If pink feminine decor and dresses are your vibe, a visit to this Loveshack Fancy boutique is a must. Even if you find you can’t afford the fashions, it’s worth a visit just to get inspiration and take a photo outside their floral facade.

Rainbow Unicorn Party Ideas Sure to Make Your Party Magical

Know a rainbow or unicorn obsessed kid?  It seems every little girl goes though a unicorn loving stage and who doesn’t love a good rainbow?  So I wanted to share some fun party ideas to incorporate the theme throughout your event.  On Instagram, I had detailed how I used dollar store items to create an affordable, custom-look with a little DIY.  So check that out if you haven’t already.  And see below for some inspirational images and let me know what your favorite parts of the party were.  All party partners are linked below so if you’re in the SoCal area, you’ll want to make sure to follow and bookmark these amazing vendors.  They were truly spectacular in service and a great addition to ensuring memories were made.

RENTALS

To fully transform our backyard into a venue, it was important to add in some themed rental pieces.  unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeRenting these pieces really takes the ordinary into the extraordinary and helps transport you into a different scene!  Luckily, we were able to partner with Isabella’s Special Occasions.  They are based in San Diego and had such a cute collection of party rental backdrops, props and figurines like the rainbow and unicorns you see here.unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party theme

Additionally, they will custom paint these items to match your party colors which was an incredible offering and something that really elevated the party and made exploring the space full of surprises!

Entertainment at the party came in 3 forms.  Besides the pretend tea party sets, fidget toys and Jenga that were scattered in stations throughout the backyard, guests could bounce around with plush unicorns in Sky High Jumper’s beautiful white bouncy castle.  unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeunicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeIsn’t this such a sight?  The modern take on the usual, eye sore of a kids’ bouncy house was much appreciated and such a fresh take on kiddie entertainment!  The team was so wonderful in answering my many questions about install and safety issues.  And they arrived promptly on time to handle the setup as promised, making sure to disinfect everything too.  They were very professional, reliable and priced at the most competitive prices around town being a new start up business.  I’d highly recommend them to anyone in the LA area!!  The bouncy house will wow all of your guests, most of whom have never seen an all white one like this before.  You won’t regret it.  It’s simply SUCH a fun focal point at the party.

We dressed it up with rainbow colored balloons as another way to carry the party theme through.  I have no idea how this was attached and created so quickly, but with the professional help of Tara from South Bay Balloon Bar, that was one worry, I could take off my already full plate.  I am so glad I decided to offload this task (cuz yes, I did consider trying to blow up all these balloons myself and then learning how to create and attach the garland).  But I’ve learned from past trial and error that sometimes these things are best left to the professionals!!

Inside, you’ll see that Rainbowcorn plushies, (which were sent to us from Zuru toys) greeted the happy guests. What a perfect tie-in to a rainbow unicorn themed party huh? unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeThey were playfully thrown around inside the bouncy house and really added to the atmosphere and theme. My daughter loves these!  Check this link because some of them are scented, some of them parrot what you say and they all come in the most adorable packaging you’ve ever seen.  It makes for a great gift!

Entertainment also came in the form of painting unicorns and all things rainbow.  Thanks to our party partner, My Signature Timber, we had custom paint kits for all the little party people.  unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeMy daughter chose all her favorite wooden cutout designs from their vast selection (which included fun shapes like unicorn heads, rainbows and all her favorite desserts).  And then we showed them our party colors and they packed our shipment with all the coordinating paints, brushes and paint dishes that we would need.  It was amazing!  So convenient and SO cute.  Everything was delivered straight to my door and the painted crafts made for excellent favors! Each girl took home their paint kit and finished product. What a fun favor, right?  My Signature Timber also makes cute wooden signs which you can see on their Instagram page here.

We also entertained the girls with a live unicorn who surprised all the guests at the end of the party with its presence.  Its mane was rainbow colored and it too came with its own paint set (all non-toxic, and easily washable of course).  And the girls couldn’t believe their eyes (or luck).  Cuz who in this world gets to play with a unicorn AND paint it- right??! unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeAfterwards, the birthday girl got to ride the unicorn around the cul de sac and leave all the neighbors wondering whether they were hallucinating when spotting this wildly painted unicorn outside their window. unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeunicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeunicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party theme

The 2nd (back-to-back) party we hosted had another rainbow themed activity to entertain the guests.  Yes, I hosted 2 birthday parties in one day cuz of covid and wanting to keep the groups extra small..  unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeBijou Indochine, sent us these super cute jewelry making kits which were so perfect for these creative cuties aged 7-10.  unicorn party ideas, rainbow unicorn party theme, unicorn party inspiration, unicorn theme, rainbow party themeEach set came with such an extraordinary set of colorful beads and all the tools and materials needed to make customized bracelets and necklaces.  This really got their creative juices flowing and allowed for the birthday girl to not have to repeat the prior paint project from her earlier party.  Bijou Indochine has such pretty jewelry to purchase for adults too.  (This was a side offering they pivoted towards during the pandemic).  So check out their website for these party sets as well as more sophisticated designs and jewelry making kits for adults too!

FAVORS

Besides the activity favors (jewelry making kit or rainbow paint set above), guests also walked away with the Cutitos rainbow unicorn (burrito stuffy shown here) thanks to Basic Fun Toys, another party sponsor.
