The feel good shoe looks
better…
Flip flops foray fashionably forward
Blame it on the bosanova, but
the Brazilians do know
how to make less look like more. Think about how much style can be had
from one of those skimpy tongas.
 Then
take the flip flop, the feel good cheapie shoe.
Just when you thought that the flip flopped, it gets its own burst of
Caipirinha to put it back on the fashion barometer.
When traveling, I first noticed a woman wearing a version a flip-flop with a
slightly Grecian God bent. I became obsessed as to where this summer
staple could be had. Lo and behold, the Ipanema flip flop with a strap is
from Melissa, one of
Brazil’s largest footwear companies and the originator of the jelly shoe.
I’m not alone with this obsession,
because the Ipanema has been spotted on more than a few fashionistas lately.
But Melissa doesn’t stop there. There’s a slew of
colorful jelly shoes
that are more than cute for the beach, at night, or as the perfect summer
replacement for those quirky rubber rain boots which finally overrode
UGGS.
