A Barbie x Uggs Collaboration anyone?

No, there's not actually going to be a Barbie x Ugg collab. Boo! (At least...not that I'm aware of.)
Though wouldn't it be an absolutely adorable and cute idea if Barbie was to partner with Ugg and come out with a cute, little line of miniature Ugg slides & boots for the infamous doll? Barbie has been coming out with a lot of cute fashion packs as of recent. Does the Puma fashions ring a bell, anyone? Not only were the clothing choices realistic and versatile -- the attention to detail on the accessory pieces were impeccable! (The hand bags could've been designed a little better, just sayin'!) Those tennis shoes though? Whew... 
I also enjoyed that the clothing choices could fit curvy Barbies as well, not just the slim body types.

(Unfortunately they've been so popular that the prices on third-party websites are through-the-roof. Ugh! 24.99? Really?)

However  I feel as though it would be the same scenario if Barbie were to partner with Ugg as well. Ever since Ugg started making these giant, fluffy slipper shoes, they've been a hit! You can't go anywhere without seeing them. Even in retail stores you can find little knock off versions of the shoes. Do you know how fast people would purchase those for their Barbies? Children and adult collectors alike? Barbie this is a opportunity to capitalize off of this. Both Ugg and Barbie would make their fortunes and us dolly collectors will be excited! Depending on the quality of the product, of course. Like the photo depicted above, I would want realism and actual cloth pieces and not some molded rubber close-enough type of material because that would be so disappointing. 

I remember that Barbie partnered with Forever 21 sometime last year with a clothing line which was absolutely adorable. I don't necessarily shop at Forever 21 that often but I was tempted to snag that pink Barbie 2 piece sweat suit that was apart of the collab. F21 actually does have a lot of great fashion choices that I would've loved to see in some Barbie fashion packs down the road, especially the shoes and jackets. (I'm a sucker for a cute bomber jacket!) I thought that originally when the two companies collab'd that there would've been some F21 Barbie fashion packs to go along with the collab. That wasn't the case! (Boo!!)

All hope isn't lost. This is Barbie we are talking about of course. I am sure we are going to get some more  Barbie collaborations with fashion companies to give us our fix of fashion fusion that we desparately crave. (Well at least I do.)
