Make Your Own Havaianas has truly achieved a status here in the Philippines one could only describe as iconic. Countless Filipinos perceive of it as their very own mid-year Christmas bonanza as hundreds of sole, strap, and pin options are vividly and appealingly presented to each of our own personal biddings every year without fail.

This year, Havaianas regional distributor A.L. Amizade, together with events and PR partner Bigseed Media and Marketing Solutions decided to take us loyal Havaianaticos to a luxurious traipse all around the world with their "summer jetsetter" inspired theme. Adorable strap pins of iconographic landmarks from all over the world were offered this time, such as the Eiffel Tower, Roman Colosseum, the I love NY logo, and many more.

After much deliberation, I decided to go for a fleshtone commemorative sole and Eiffel and Colosseum pins. Really cute.

Can't thank A.L. Amizade and Bigseed enough for never forgetting us bloggers and for inviting me to their opening event three years in a row now. Can't wait for next year!
