UK's only Barbie shop has opened in Liverpool and it looks like all our childhood dream have come true

Since 1959 when Barbie launched, generations of children have grown up wishing they could be just like the plastic doll, spending many a Christmas begging for the latest one - and we were no different.

And now Liverpool has been fortunate enough to get the UK's only dedicated Barbie shop.

The pop-up store opened this morning, helping to mark International Day of the Girl, on Upper South John Street at Liverpool ONE and as expected, pink is the chosen colour scheme.

Inside its walls are filled with dolls from the brand, neon signs and even a Barbie truck - it's like someone asked our eight-year-old selves what we wanted in a shop.

It's not just toys either, there is also a collection of Barbie clothing which can be bought as well as accessories too.

The store itself will be open for six weeks and is based in the premises which previously homed Fat Face and before that Real Buzz.

The opening was teased two weeks ago when hoardings around the site went up letting customers know what to expect.
