Clueless Mrs. : Summer State of Mind

It's exactly 18 days before Christmas yet I already have the Summer jitters because of this extremely hot Christmas weather in Manila (I do hope the situation in the Visayas and Mindanao regions are better now #PabloPH) and with all the Summer airline seat sales flooding my inboxes. While I love the momentary cool breeze of Christmas nights, the pig-out Christmas party sessions invaded by Gangnam style performances this year, family reunions and all, I truly am a piscean girl because I just loooove Summer. *Daydreaming now*

The beach... the sand... the smell of sunblock on my sun-kissed skin... and with that, comes the yearly craving for new Havaianas flip flops. Oh yes, flip flops are my Summer fashion staples and nothing beats that feeling of new stylish and sophisticated rubber under my feet.

Lucky for me, I was invited by Havaianas Philippines to take a sneak peak into their 2013 Collection, which brings so much magical childhood memories of carefree summers, sunshine, youth and fun into my heart.

The viewing was no ordinary sit-down launch event, and kuddos to Havaianas for thinking out of the box and for making it more exciting for us. The collection was creatively showcased in a make-shift art gallery, wonderfully fabricated by the creative team of Havaianas Philippines inside the TSA compound, that highlights the inspiration behind the collection matched with a personalized tour by Havaianas' Assistant Brand Marketing Manager, EJohn Pacaba. I haven't seen any other media event like this so far, so I was truly amazed on how they did it. Here's a tour into the Havaianas 2013 Collection...

Don't you just wanna dive in into this wall of colorful Havaianas?

The fun and quirky Havaianas' Assistant Brand Marketing Manager,
EJohn Pacaba, giving us a personalized tour.

Here's few of the art pieces that caught my eye while John shares with us the story behind the making of Havaianas' 2013 collection.

As if my eyes weren't bulging enough in solemn amazement, a room concealed in plain sight, opened a whole new world of Havaianas to all of us. My jaw literally dropped to floor when I saw the whole 2013 collection which were displayed in a creatively holistic visual presentation.

Looks like Easter came early this year for the little ones.

The Clueless Mrs. together with other fab bloggers

A piece of Fashion Forward Prints and my personal pick
from the 2013 collection. With this pair, you can
easily add a splash of color to any outfit.
Bold Tropical and Animal prints can perfectly
accent other trendy pieces in rich, solid colors like
pleated chiffon skirts, light maxi dresses, or
mullet skirts and provide the perfect finishing
touch as you navigate the urban jungle, whether you're
curled up with a good book at a swanky coffee shop
or having Sunday brunch with your friends.
