16 Barbie-Pink Color Coded Items in Providence
If you are on any part of the internet, then it is hard to ignore the many shades of pink flooding each channel as Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie hits theaters. While there are countless conversations about the dolls, their cultural implications on society, and what on earth the plot of the movie is, we want to focus on one thing: Barbie-pink color coded everything. We think that this color—whether in the signature hot pink shade, or the range found in Barbie marketing and products—can be rocked by anyone and everyone, if so desired.
We are here to share with you all some of our favorite Barbie-pink items from small businesses in Downtown Providence, RI. Ready to live your dream?
FOOD & DRINKS
Oyster River - Morphos Rose, Eno Fine Wines, $28
Barbie once sang, “Get your sparkle on, show this world where you belong.” And when we hear the word sparkle, we immediately think of this fizzy little pet-nat!
Hot Pink Goverre Wine Glass, Homestyle, $28
Keep your beverage of choice cool while on the go in this Barbie-pink lidded wine glass. (ICYMI, we loved this item so much that we brought it to the beach with us.)
All About Cookies: A Milk Bar Baking Book by Christina Tosi, Symposium Books, $35
We love something sweet—this is no secret—so we had to give this very pink cookbook a try, in honor of Barbie! (And yes, we know, the shade of pink is a little outside the official color code but we think Bakery Chef Barbie would forgive us...)
Anxo - Nevertheless Dry Cider, Eno Fine Wines, $19
If you enjoy dry ciders, then Anxo has a little something for you. Tart, funky, and with really fun can design, we could not think of something more picturesque to clink together with friends in honor of the Barbie film.
CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES
80s Taxi Applique Sweatshirt, The Vault RI, $65
Channel 80s Barbie vibes in this cute vintage sweatshirt!
Half Moon Pink Hoops, Craftland, $52
Barbie is, of course, a fashion icon. So we had to find the most pink, stylish, and locally crafted earrings to don when heading to the theater.
Mini Scooter Skort, The Vault RI, $60
We seriously thought this guide was incomplete until we found a Barbie-pink color coded skort like this one. The Vault Collective’s newest vintage haul came in clutch!
Civil Snake Tee, Civil, $30
Who is to say you can’t love both skating and Barbie (maybe you’re even skateboarding straight to the theater)? No one, that’s who. That’s why we recommend this signature Civil tee, in one of the lightest Barbie shades of pink.
FRNCH Jody Blouse, Queen of Hearts and Modern Love, $86
Looking for something casual to throw on when you head to the theaters to watch the Barbie film? Queen of Hearts and Modern Love has you covered (pun intended).
Mini Camera Crossbody Bag, Queen of Hearts and Modern Love, $53
Keep your valuables safe and organized while on the go with this bright, adorable, vegan-friendly crossbody bag.
Ice Queen Sunglasses, Queen of Hearts and Modern Love, $24
Just as you should do as Barbie says and “rock your own story,” we think you should also rock these pale pink sunglasses while shading your eyes this summer.
Civil Defense Youth Hoodie, Civil, $40
For the kids in your life who enjoy Skateboarder Barbie (from the Olympics line): rep local skate shop Civil in this bright pink hoodie!
LIFESTYLE
Lafco Duchess Peony Candle, Homestyle, $50
With up to 50 hours of burn time, this richly scented candle is perfect for setting the mood during a night in rewatching all the Barbie movies of old!
Monstera Mini Nature Notepad, Craftland, $9
As Barbie once said in the Rapunzel film, “love and imagination can change the world.” Take down your thoughts and ideas easily within this plant-themed notebook.
Hibiscus and Neem, Soulita, $20
We are all for any excuse to practice self-care. So why not enjoy this lovely, lightweight, light pink face mask from Soulita while channeling Barbie vibes?
Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert, Symposium Books, $13
We love not only this bright pink cover, but also an adorable young adult story about two friends-turned-enemies, an adventure through nature, and conspiracy theories.
