Why Not by Leah Puyat: Boracay is always a good idea!

In the Philippines, the island of Boracay is the very definition of summer. From the legendary powder white sand, the aquamarine calm waters, the rainbow of resorts on its wide expanse of beach, Boracay is all about choice. If you want to lay on the best stretch of sand, with a private and old school island vibe, Fridays is for you. If you want to feel more of a scene, Station 2 is party central. And if you really want to get away from it all, Asya Premier and Friday's are on opposite ends of the island, but they epitomize the idea of an isolated enclave. Food tripping is another essential part of the Boracay experience. Everyone’s first stop is Jonah’s for a cold fruit shake and a hot choriburger. I've gone to Boracay for splashy product launches, marathon birthday celebrations, and quick getaways with friends, and I always leave with the same sentiment: “I can’t wait to get back.”

Truly looking forward to the Nation Flip-flops Day which is just 3 days away!

Who wouldn't fall in love with this haven?

To get my summer started, I joined a great group of friends for a super quick getaway. We wasted no time in posting our photos of our new Havaianas featuring the Naif art of Brazilian artist Helena Coelho. Naif art is made by artists who have no formal training or academic background and so they sparkle with childlike simplicity and a refreshing lack of perspective. Coelho painted quintessential summer seaside scenes. Its title is Sabado Na Praia Vermelha, or Saturday on Vermelha Beach. Fashion and beauty and lifestyle blogger describes the design as such: "She (Coelho) is known for painting pictures that convey her rich inner world. She focuses on everyday themes with singular poetry . . . "

Every time I looked down at the bright and bold colors on my Havaianas, I could feel the carefree spirit of summer seep into my soul. And though this is a limited edition, everyone with a pair of Havaianas can get into this glorious summer feeling on March 27, National Flip Flops day! Post your selfeet, and you could win flip flops, and just to add to the fun, get your whole school or office into the act and make it the more the merrier.

All Flip Flops shops will also have fun treats such as bag painting and free ice cream to beat the heat. Summer is full of holidays, and National Flip Flops Day is one day that should be part of your summer!
