MYOH 2015: An Aloha state of mind

Palm trees, hibiscus flowers, fresh fruits, seashells, blues, splashes of white, sandy shores and Havaianas.

Did you know that Havaianas was inspired by the Hawaiians and their hang loose culture? To celebrate the 10th year of Make Your Own Havaianas, our favorite flip-flop brand is all set for the biggest customization ever. It’s a nationwide luau celebration from May 7th to the 10th! Flash the shaka! In Ilocos, Robinsons Ilocos Norte Activity Center will be echoing the warm air of Aloha Hawaii. Aloha hula girls, ukeleles, tikis and pineapples!

Color is the new black: MYOH 2014

The local scene is turning glocal. Straight from the future — at a UNESCO, City Government of Laoag and Northwestern University collaboration of an anticipatory thinking and strategic foresight forum-workshop — I went to Brazil for the Make Your Own Havaianas event of the year at the Robinsons Ilocos Norte. If these are signs of a brighter future, then the Bonfim print wishes for each and every holder of the Havaianas commemmorative pair should come true.
