New Barbie Pop-Up Cafe Opening In Chicago Soon

Attention all current and past Barbie girls! Life in plastic is about to get way more fantastic at a real-life Malibu Barbie Pop-up Cafe opening in Chicago, Illinois soon!

I'm a Barbie Girl In a Barbie World

I have yet to meet a woman that has not spent several years at some point in their life playing with, collecting, and obsessing over Barbie. (For the record, I was 100% a Barbie girl for far longer than I care to admit).

One thing I love most about being a girl mom is the chance to relive that Barbie love through my daughters' eyes, and yes, I am super jealous of how much cooler Barbies are these days.

My girls have been talking about the new live-action Barbie movie coming out for WEEKS now, and honestly, I am just as excited to see it as they are. Here's a trailer for it in case you haven't seen it yet...

Barbie The Movie will hit theaters on July 21, 2023, BUT Barbie Mania will officially kick off in Illinois on June 7 when the Malibu Barbie Cafe opens in Chicago!
