Let's Get EXTRA Barbie Party

from Confetti Fair July 2022 Mini Mag

La Dolce Vita

Nothing quite shouts EXTRA like getting your hair done with cool colours, cute clothes, sunnies and your BFFs! Throw in Barbie and some delicious desserts and its the best day ever. At Confetti HQ we put on an awesome day for our little muses!

One can never get enough of a Barbie party! So when CottonOn released their Barbie EXTRA clothes range around about the time of the 2021 lockdown, we knew we definitely had to grab our girl gang and get shooting.

After having to postpone twice due to spicy flu (thanks but no thanks COVID), we were ready to rock! Rather than the traditional pink, we wanted to pay homage to the fun, colour and message that Barbie conveys. Including some retro elements was also a must, because Barbie just has that nostaglic effect on all of us! Lots of brights colours, a life size boom box and a Barbie box lay the foundation for our backdrop.

Now no outfit, especially when its EXTRA is complete without coloured hair and braids, thank you to Sydney’s queen of braid The Braid Boss! With each little one dressed in their outift and hair done, it was time to sit down to a table of desserts!

Our Cricut got a workout on this shoot, which was super exciting as each girl got a Barbie quote on their meal box and a personalised bottle.

So many smiles, fun and happiness...oh to be a kid again! H

We looked for quotes and messages which spoke of love, friendship, kindness and confidence – all the qualities our girls need to feel empowered and strong! Using our Cricut JOY, we cut them out of vinyl and applied them to these pink boxes which were choc-full of goodies!
