Barbie does the average girl one better! She has more Christian Louboutin shoes than one month’s income can provide. In my case, it could probably wipe out my entire account!
While doing my usual red-soled daydreaming on net-a-porter.com, one of my favorite virtual window shopping destinations, I stumbled upon the hottest Barbie doll ever! Clad in a safari suit with gold chains, the red-haired 11.5 inch tall doll stood fabulously in suede fringe over-the-knee boots in hot pink. In addition to the boots, she came with three extra pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes: pink strappy platforms, gold slinky heels and purple mary janes designed like one of the designer’s earliest styles.
Toys for the Big Girls: Nothing beats getting four pairs of Christian Louboutin heels plus a Barbie for $150.
The Christian Louboutin for Barbie series was first released on net-a-porter in December 2009 with a catsuit-clad doll that sold out faster than you can run in your 4-inch platforms.

They retail for $150 each and for the price of four pairs of shoes plus a Barbie doll (I guess we girls never outgrow them) cost way less than a single pair. In fact I even did a computation of how much the e mini versions (that come packaged with the catsuit Barbie) if we were to purchase their actual-sized, bank-breaking counterparts:
$5026 for the full-sized counterparts! One pair is pretty steep to begin. And at the $150 price point, deep-pocketed fashionistas can splurge on both sets and even throw in the latest addition to the collection: the newly-revealed Anemone Barbie, a fabulous red-carpet inspired doll in a metallic green and purple ensemble. Now any girl can get that Hollywood luxe look for less, even if it’s in smaller-than-real life proportions.
