]]>While summertime has its downsides, we can’t forget that Cebu is an island with a tropical climate, so it’s natural that we’d still be experiencing bright, sunny days. Before the season ends, we’ve picked out some of the must-have products that would make you look like a summer island gal all throughout the year.

For those quick trips to the beach, or even some gloomy-weathered getaways, a girl should always be prepared. These crochet bikinis have since been a trend and it never seemed to die down. As summer’s nearing its end, hurry on and grab the best ‘kinis and a pair stylish sunnies to match and indulge yourself in a sandy, wavy adventure.

Our go-to flip flop brand reveals its newest collection with designs inspired from tropical and nautical themes. Whether it may be sailing the seas on a yacht and hopping to and from a number of different islands, or strolling along the beach in your sundress, these slip-ons should be with you at all times. Inspired from that famous quote, great slippers do take you to great destinations!

Check out this all-in-one moisturizing facial spray from Mario Badescu to help in renewing that fresh feeling throughout the day. You can never go wrong with a cooling facial mist that’s not only infused with nutrient-rich botanicals that hydrates, but also one that tones and re-energizes. You’re one spray away from achieving that all-day dewy finish.
We’d never get tired of all the flowy and floral dresses in our everyday OOTDs. Dorothy Perkins’ Spring/Summer collection will give you a hard time saying goodbye to sunny days (and the scorching heat) with these ensembles inspired by the catwalk, but wearable enough for your everyday get ups. Pieces of embroidered and prairie designed tops fill this season’s picks with the assorted colors of yellow in every top, skirt, accessory and dress to give every girl that sunny feel in every outfit.

That natural looking blush to your cheeks and brightness on your lips can be a key to reminiscing your island adventures. Its transfer proof and waterproof formula helps you survive occasional humidity in the city’s hustle and bustle. The Face Shop’s Watery Lip & Cheek tint is all you’ll need to add some color to your face the island girl way.
If it’s either making the most out of the end of this season, or strutting your summer vibes all year long, these must-haves will surely get you looking your best from head to toe!

Personally, it’s hard to choose just one kind of footwear from this decadent shoe brand because there’s something for every girl. If we really had to recommend one thing though, it would be the Apophis pumps in black. It’s the classic black pump with a gorgeous twist—dragon wings. Perfect for the Khaleesis in your life.
Why yes, men can be into shoes too. For your guy friend (or “guy friend”), a great addition to his growing footwear collection would be the DM’s Lite, the newest shoe from Dr. Martens. Featuring the brand’s signature style but in a new ultra-lightweight Phylon midsole, it’s both durable and even more comfortable. Go timeless with the black pair, or be a little more edgy with the Newton cherry red one.

Somewhat a footwear staple in the country, slippers may not be the best things for your feet (so aren’t heels anyway), but it doesn’t change the fact they’re darn comfortable—and not to mention easy to wear given the state of our streets.
The past decade or so has seen the evolvement of these flip-flops from something basic and necessary into a complete fashion statement, this 180-degree pivot mostly brought about by Havaianas. Recently, the Brazilian brand further raised the stakes with a collaboration with British luxury shoe and accessories brand Charlotte Olympia.
Called Charlotte Olympia Havaianas, the glamorous capsule collection embraces the brand’s signature color palette of gold, blush, red and leopard print, and celebrates Charlotte Olympia’s much-loved iconic features Kitty, Bruce the leopard and Charlotte’s Web.
“Being half Brazilian, Havaianas have always been a staple when on holiday around the world and on the beach in Rio, my home away from home,” says CEO and creative director Charlotte Olympia Dellal. “I am so excited to be able to add my creative stamp to a classic summer favorite!”
Havaianas’ global director Carla Schmitzberger adds, “Havaianas embodies the fun, vibrant, and spontaneous way of Brazillian life that is embraced the world over. This partnership is a great opportunity to partner with Charlotte’s unique and irreverent style we love so much.”
See the stylish collection below.

Havaianas was born in Brazil in 1962, but an interesting fact is that the very first flip-flop was inspired by the Zori, a type of Japanese sandal made of fabric straps and rice straw roles. Today, Havaianas flip-flops show marks of these iconic rice patterns, making it a fusion of eastern Zen and western joy.
Each year, MYOH highlights a destination or theme that celebrates its heritage or encapsulates the ‘always summer’ state of mind and on its 11th year, it is its Japanese roots that MYOH pays tribute to, from this year’s 2016 limited edition commemorative sole inspired by Shibori, a Japanese fabric-dyeing technique, to its selection of kawaii pins. With Japan being an all-time favorite summer destination of Cebuano Havaianaticos, embellishments such as the The Sakura, Ramen, The Japanese Fan, The Empress, The Zori, Ninja and statement pins, among others celebrate the love for travel and the land of the rising sun’s unique lifestyle and influence on today’s pop culture.
Let your creativity bloom like the season’s cherry blossoms and share your Make Your Own Havaianas experience at #MYOHCEBU2016 and #MYOH2016.
