How Kawaii Is #MYOH2016!

Summer is in full swing and wearing shoes is becoming a chore! All I want to wear are Havaianas kasi ang init!!! But there's something I am very excited about this April! Every summer for three years now, there's one event I always look forward to, it's the Make You Own Havaianas! You can check my posts on #MYOH from 2013, 2014 and 2015! This 2016, the theme is based on the Japanese "Shibori", know to be the oldest indigo dyeing techniques in Japan. Everyone has been going to Japan and this is just the perfect theme!

Shibori reminds me so much of the plates I collect no? I know many of my plate-collecting friends would love this year's theme too!

Did you know that the first ever flip-flop was inspired by the Zori? Zori is a type of Japanese slipper made of fabric straps and rice straw roles. On its 11th year, MYOH goes backs to roots!

Here's this year's commemorative pair! It's now available in Top and Slim sole! Ahhh I can't wait to grab a pair for myself! BOS wants one too!

Experience the land of the rising sun from April 22-24 at the Mega Fashion Hall at SM Megamall!

Of course, MYOH wouldn't be compete without the pins and the selection this year is kawaii! There's the Zori, Sakura, Robot, Ramen - my favorite, check out the pins below!

Are you excited yet? If you're outside Manila, no need to worry! Make Your Own Havaianas will be happening nationwide!

Banana Peel: It's Everyone's Favorite Flip Flops!

What started out as a simple venture in flip flops in 2002 is now one of the most popular local flip-flop brands in the Philippines. Banana Peel has opened its first concept store and ventured into export in 2010. To this day,  Banana Peel has 29 branches, 2 franchise stores, and 9 export countries. Banana Peel is also available in all  major department stores and malls.

Banana Peel flip flops are made from eco-friendly materials. Non-toxic inks are used to print their trendy flip flops! They are also working hand-in-hand with WWF. For every pair of flip flops, part of the proceeds go into funding marine conservation programs to help save our seas!

Banana Peel also produces different collections of flip flops and some of them are oh so cute! I want to buy all of them!

And thank you for send me and my kids our very first Banana Peel flip flops!

Y has been wearing hers ever since we got the package. She loves the heart design! And I'm loving my Sutton  pair, love the color combination, ang lamig sa mata! Perfect for going to the nail salon and short trips to the mall!

My #MYOH2014 Experience

This is my second year to join the Make Your Own Havaianas and I heard it gets bigger every year! This year's MYOH happened at the Glorietta 2 Activity Center.

Creating your very own pair of Havaianas is so much fun and exciting! I always look forward to the pins they release! This year I decided to get a Top because I got the Slim last year.

The wheel of fortune!!!

Yummy Soles!

The hardest part is choosing and deciding!

And while waiting for the event to start, chicka-chikahan portion muna with the SoMoms!

I love this photo of us! Feel na feel ko ang headpiece!

This year's opening program was so festive! Samba, Capoeira and other things that celebrate Brazil!

It was so festive!

And the chaos begun when it was time for "making" of the flip-flops na! As in! Good thing they have more assemblers this year than last year so I was able to get my pair  faster. Hehe! Only because I only 1 pair this year compared to 4 last year haha! Oh and my Havaianatico (Is that what they call the assemblers?) works fast!

Chaos!

 

Thank you Marga for making my MYOH 2014 pair! You were awesome!

I left right after getting my pair. I had two events that day and I had to pick up the kids at my sister's place. MYOH 2014 is truly one of the most festive events I had been to for 2014!

Thank you Janice for inviting the SoMoms and congratulations Havaianas for a successful #MYOH2014!

My #MYOH2014 pair!

If you'll be somewhere North like Ilocos Norted, #MYOH2014 will be at the Robinson's Laoag! Catch it while it's there!
