Say Aloha Hawaii: Make Your Own Havaianas 2015

Can you say the word Havaianaticos five times, fast without messing up?

Try it now. Go!

*Aloha!~

It's that time of the year again where #Havaianacos can mix and match soles, straps and pins through the yearly Make Your Own Havaianas!

This year's theme is a big luau party! To me, that means the sun and waves, palm trees and tikis, the laid back atmosphere, fresh coconuts and pineapples! Like this -- Haha! Kidding.

Posing for #VitaCocoPH on Instagram.

That's exactly how the Glorietta Activity Center looks like right now for the 10th year of MYOH. Every bit of the theme is well thought out and coordinated to cite the original inspiration of the brand -- Hawaii.

And oh! Did you know that the word Havaianas means "Hawaiians" in Portuguese?

Unlike the previous years where it is only held in one venue, #MYOH2015 is going to be a nationwide simultaneous event from May 7 to 10 and everyone's invited to make their own pair!

Here's the complete list of participating branches:

Here's how you can customize your pair:

Step 1: Choose your sole
Choose whether you want your pair in Top Style, Slim Sole or Commemorative.

Step 2: Choose your strap

You may use the roulette to mix and match your straps, or customize it online at http://myoh.havaianasphilippines.com/#customize. The combinations are endless! Take your time because I swear! it's not easy to choose! Girl Problems. Haha! 

But oh well, okay lang din if you want to purchase all of the combinations you want! Hah!

Step 3: Choose your pins.

This year, they have 27 pins to choose from: Vintage Luau (Aloha, Coconut, Hula Girl, Hibiscus, Pineapple, Hawaiian Shirt and Ukelele) Hawaiian Adventure (Beach Bum, Rainbow, Sailboat, Surf and Road Trip) Under The Sea (Dolphin, Fish, Shell, Starfish and Tail) Hawaiian Take-Out (Burger, Coffee, Hotdog and Musubi) Summer Social (Camera, Heart and Thumbs Up) and Crystals (Red Crystal, Mandala 1 and 2)

Here are my top choices:

Side Story:

During the event, I was lucky enough to stumble on Ms. Laureen Uy of Break My Style. 

Starstruck moment. Haha! Nakakahiya! I saw her, and just said: "Hi!" on my regular high-pitch and smiled. Imagine yung parang nagkaron ka ng 2-second delay. I didn't say anything until my friend said, "Can we take a picture with you?" Haha! Ang akward! 

..and then after taking the photos, she said: "Have you decided on your pair? Lika, I'll help you!~"

Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.

Look at us, so serious!~

So cute! Then we realized that we chose the same pins for our commemorative pair!

Step 4: Smile! and let your Havaianas Flip-Flops Assembler do their magic!
