F is for Flip Flops...

Summers on the way!! So I have been on the hunt for flip flops for both men and women. The first pair of flip flops I bought this year was not even for me, they were a gift for my dad’s birthday in March as he is holidaying in Thailand with my mum. He set me with a challenge as he doesn't like flip flops with a rubber part in-between your toes, so it had to be fabric. I didn't really know these existed until he had asked me! I can’t really find women’s pairs with this in but I came across quite a few men’s! I ended up choosing a pair from Next for £20 for him after the first Superdry pair I had ordered came and he decided he didn't like them. I found next had a few really nice styles in, River Island have a great idea with matching shorts and flip flops for £18-£22 which is a fab idea if you're going away! I can't justify spending more than £20 on a pair of flip flops really for both men’s and women’s so I took to eBay! Well, get on there if you don't want to spend loads, you could have 2-3 pairs for £20 if you're prepared to search!! Personally I tend to get a great buy for flip flops in Primark, take to eBay as well, just make sure you order in plenty of time for your jollies, I always go for a summer splurge and always seem to get a bargain even though prices are higher now a days!  And another new favourite is the Havaianas, these are everywhere, I saw them last summer slightly but lots of people I know have bought a pair ready for the summer, my fav’s are in Office shown below with the shorts combo.



One site which I had viewed at the start of the year was one I came across on Twitter @JuliaenlaOrilla ‘Julia On The Shore’ I have been saving their site for something to use on and this is perfect, it is a Spanish company of two girls in Malaga, they basically decorate the flip flops with their own personal touch with items they gather, find and pick up from places like flea markets! The site is in Spanish so you will have to use the translate button that appears at the top of the site when you’re on Google, if you're like me, I can just about string a few words together so I needed it!! They deliver all around the world, so check out their site and if you're interested in any of the styles they have an easy contact form to get in touch, or find them on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest!
