Fresh: ZARA One-Toe Black Sandal

ZARA. i have nothing else to say. it's been my favorite brand since i moved here to tokyo. it's trendy and affordable, just what people need right now.

i actually contemplated about wether to get this pair or another one from ZARA (actually i was going to buy both), and i somehow let fate choose it for me, and asked my friend to check in the UK if they've got it. so i ended up with this pair.

i LOVE the design of these sandals. i guess simplicity is the word. one-toe, X trap, and an ankle loop. that simple and you come up with a very stylish sandal that can be used as casual and formal at the same time. they may not be the most comfortable thing to wear, but "no pain no gain", aka no looking good. summer is around the corner here in tokyo so i cannot wait to wear them!

Fresh: TOPMAN Gladiator Sandals

you already know how much i love the brand TOPMAN, but i will say it again, it is probably the best thing that ever existed. that and ZARA. and i say this from a perspective of a 2010 young man living in the center of an economic crisis.

so my friend actually got these for me in london (it was cheaper than getting it here in tokyo) and they are too cute. i actually haven't worn them out yet because of the volatile weather condition here but as soon as the sun comes out, BAM, i'll be wearing it every single day.

the sandals are made from soft leather and has a velvet-like sole so they're extra comfortable. i have really skinny ankles so i have to make extra holes but it's tight enough to stay on while walking so you don't have to worry about it slipping off. i'd probably wear these with short khaki shorts or cargo pants and it would be a nice change from my flip-flops in the summer. :]

Fresh: Havaianas Team- Espana

for the past week, havaianas has been hosting a "make your own havaianas" booth at lumine 2 in shinjuku, where customers can customize their own pair. Havaianas has been popular for it's bright designs and pop-arty colors, and this once a brazil-only brand is now available worldwide. the comfortability level is incomparable to other thongs and after buying my first pair, i became a fan.

ive always wanted a red pair, and i thought that today was the perfect opportunity to buy one. this very pair is created to support spain at the FIFA world cup, even though i'm not a big soccer fan, i thought that this pair was pretty cute, especially the tiny spanish flag detail on the strap. i was <-> that close to buying the columbia pair but i had to resist temptation. since i'm an indecisive person, it was somewhat a struggle deciding and most of the times i result to buying both. but this time, i had to restrain. but if you do get the chance, grab a pair and i'm sure it will be ur new favorite flip-flops of the summer!

Havaianas Team- Espana: 2,480 yen
