Fashion: Havaianas and the Matryoshka Design Principle

My sister Joni and I have always had a thing with Matryoshka dolls (also known as Babushka). When Gucci launched the Babushka laminated bag, older wicked sister had to have it. She did. I am more frugal but I appreciate Russian culture and the Matryoshka paradigm too.



Hence, these Havaianas Slim Matryoshka. oh-ha!

They are equally inspired by the mysterious dolls. But more than the inspiration, I always love Havaianas because I get away with them everytime. The brand is a license to wear tsinelas/ flipflops everywhere and anywhere, don't you think?



I remember in DLSU, we had a rule that you can wear tsinelas as long as they are worth P300 above. Okay don't get my diploma back, that could be one of those urban legends but I always hear it at Gate 2. I could wear these to school everywhere everyday, I have a two year old pair of Havaianas and it's boggling why it still looks brand new.



Lookie at the small Matryoshka doll embellishment, so lovely and cute :) Every girl deserves a pair!



With Russian inspired prints topped with a doll embellishment, the Matryoshka line will have everyone talking.

Mine also came with a real set of Matryoshka doll. FYI, the Matryoshka follows the principle of an onion. Notice how when you peel off the outer layer of an onion, a similar smaller onion is inside. Now you know.



Here is my 10 month old boy playing with the FREE doll <3



And my feet who have not tasted a pedicure for weeks look acceptable with Havaianas.

Get all dolled up this summer! ;)

Pininho - Glamourize your Havaianas!

Right now, we are going gaga for accessories - bib necklaces, cocktail rings, and vintage bangles. You'd think you have it all but na-ah! Until you get this Pininho pins for your favorite pairs of Havaianas.


True Love? and Skull with Bones, I'll take the second one!

Pininho pins come in several designs, material, and color. I suggest going for the gold ones for that ulta-chic and classy look. Love this skull and bones diamante :)



Super helpful when you are aching for a new pair of flip-flops but are tight on the budget. Imagine, you can use different Pininhos for the same pair of havaianas.

Pininho pins also come from the makers of Havaianas and you can simply use the punch to create a hole in your havies. For more information, visit http://pininho.multiply.com/ to view all styles and learn how to order.
