This has got to be one of my favorite events I've attended since I became a blogger. Flipsters media launch was one of a kind! It was held in the poolside of Intercon hotel and we got pampered by Nail It Salon.
But before I get into details, what is Flipsters? Just a short kwento before I introduce the brand... :)
As high fashion takes over the girl world by storm, more and more women are inclined to take dressing up a notch. However, power dressing usually means sacrificing a bit of comfort for the sake of looking amazing. The common culprit? Heels and other uncomfortable footwear.
I love wearing heels. There's something about them that makes you feel confident and sexy. In my case, since I'm just 5'1, it gives me extra inches in the height department. But since I have scoliosis, whenever I wear heels for hours, my back ends up being tortured. And of course, my feet always end up in total pain.
So whenever I go to events, I make sure I bring extra flats just in case my feet need rest. But the annoying thing is that my bag becomes bulky because my flats take up so much space.
Thank God I have found fashionable AND foldable sandals & flats that can solve all my dilemma.
Created in 2009, Ben Lipschitz
and Rick Munitz under the company L&M Designs, Flipsters footwear were
created with the concept of mimicking the natural motion of walking. The
footwear was made with a rubber sole for durability and grip, with a soft
cushioning layer for comfort. The straps are made from soft satin to avoid skin
chaffing while the heel straps are elasticized to allow for stretches, coupled
with silicon lining to ensure a snug fit.
Flipsters come in a small pouch
and are about the size of an iPhone, it can be taken practically anywhere and
can be used anytime. After a long day at work, girls can take out their
Flipsters and relax their footsies before heading home.
Back to the event, last February 27 at the poolside
of Hotel Intercontinental Manila, we were invited
to a spa party to launch Flipsters – a pair of collapsible sandals saving
women’s feet all around the world. We were treated to a lavish afternoon of
pampering and origami making to insinuate the experience of having one’s own
Flipsters.
When planning to have a pedicure,
Flipsters can be used to avoid having to wait for the nail polish to dry or to
allow ladies to wear any shoes they want regardless of the activity. Another
practical use of Flipsters is when traveling; one can instantly experience
comfort during transit without the hassle of bringing around slippers.
Aside from the high functionality
of Flipsters, the simple and chic look of the sandals goes well with just about
any outfit. This makes it a passable fashion item when lounging at a bar,
allowing ladies to set the big bad heels aside without committing a faux pas.

Flipsters was
specifically created as an all-occasion accessory, which means the sandals are
machine washable and waterproof – making it a perfect beach or pool companion. Just in time for summer!
Ultimately, what sets Flipsters
apart is its one-of-a-kind take on comfort. Flipsters have answered the prayers
of most women to have comfortable yet stylish footwear that is compact and easy
to carry around. Indeed, Flipsters footwear is a revolution in the fashion
world, where comfort also means style.
