Flippies!

This is definitely not the season for flip flops, but in a country with tropical weather all year long, you'll never go wrong with 'em. From sunny in the morning to all of a sudden gloomy by noon, flip flops can be life savers for some people living here. After all, who would want to have their shoes all ruined & soaked after paying good money for them?

Today I got 2 pairs of flip flops. First pair I got was the usual black havaianas brazil one. This is actually my second pair in the exact style and color. I got my first one freshman year of college, back in '06. I totally fell in love with it! The first reason being black, it would go with any, if not all, of my clothes. Second, it's a classic staple. Lastly, the fit was amazing! I don't know if it's just my siblings & I who've noticed, havaianas sizes tend to change measurements, which can be quite a bummer, but for this particular style the fit was perfect! So when it broke a year ago you can imagine the frustration I went through. To make things worse, every time I find a pair, it never comes in my size. So when I saw it today, I definitely didn't have second thoughts. It was also the last pair on the rack, not only in my size, but in all sizes. You can say it was meant for me. haha :)
The only difference from the old one is the word havaianas is now in yellow, while the old one was in black.


Second pair I got, I actually saw a week ago. I wanted to get it then and there because of it's design. For the past 6 months I've had quite the obsession with flamingos. I really don't know why, but they look so cute! That's actually the only reason why I got it. haha. Majority of my flip flops come in shades of blue, so when I saw it, it made me think twice. 'Til now I quite don't know what made me decide, but I guess I'm stuck with it. Oh, and before I forget, the straps for this pair are glow in the dark. Might as well make the most of it. :)
