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?

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

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!

Flower Power Posh Playdate – Flower Party Ideas For Kids

So apparently I’ve passed down the party planning gene because at age 5, Juliet is whimsically planning themed play dates for her buddies and herself  She came up with her 4th birthday’s princess tea party theme and her 5th birthday’s fancy dress party otherwise known as the CC no.5 party.  And this summer she wanted to host a flower themed playdate which I took the liberty to re-name as the flower power playdate.  And I was thrilled because it was the perfect excuse to break out all my new floral chargers, table napkins and napkin holders!  Read on for all our flower party ideas for kids!

With our beautiful rooftop as the garden setting, I quickly poked silk flowers from past events into the leafy backdrop, brought down some potted mini vases of flowers that Juliet helped me pick, and placed the painted rocks that Juliet created as favors for her guests.  Everyone came dressed in floral prints, floral crowns and silk flowers in their hair, cuz this fashionista group is all for themed fashion! Yay!

Kids’ activities included: designing Play doh flowers, putting together a 3D flower puzzle, crafting flower balloons and dancing to our favorite songs. flower party ideas, flower foods, flower themed party, kids party ideasflower party, kids party ideas, flower power

The food was prepared by Chef Juliet, age 5.  She made the (edible) flower – topped fudge, the night before.  She displayed the flower-shaped cookies.  She helped top the fruit with flowers and she even helped make the rose shaped pepperoni pizza!

The pizza was pretty easy since we cheated by buying pre-made pizza dough.  Thanks, Eataly!  If you are really ambitious, you could make your own dough from scratch.  Or if you want to be even more economical, you could use Pillsbury Dough croissant dough!  Below are the steps by step instructions for the rose-shaped pizza.  It was a hit event though ours looked more like flower bombs.  (They grew larger than expected and looked like they practically exploded in the oven)  lol What can I say, this was our first time making pizza at home…next time, I’ll flatten out the dough and use thinner pieces.

  1. Preheat oven to 375° and spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out and thin the pizza dough
  3. Cut each rectangle of dough lengthwise into 1-1.5″wide strips. We originally did them 2-3″ which gave them the exploded flower bomb look.
  4. Spread a very thin layer of sauce onto each strip. Sprinkle with cheeses, then layer pepperoni on top half of each strip so that they’re slightly overlapping and the top halves of the pepperoni slices are off the pastry.  This eventually gives it the petal look.
  5. Fold up bottom half of dough and tightly roll.  Transfer to prepared muffin tin and bake until golden, 15-20 minutes.

The flower craft was just as easy.  Buy flower shaped paper dishes or just cut paper plates to look like they have rounded edges.  Cut out a circle in the middle and blow a balloon through it.  Secure balloon in place with clear tape and add a balloon stick.  You can use green construction paper cut like leaves, or shape green pipe cleaners (which is what we opted to do).

What do you think?  Would you host a flower-themed get together one day?  Feeling inspired?
