The warmer months have finally arrived here on the East Coast with temperatures rising to a lovely 78 degrees in the city (fashionistas and gentlemen hallelujah)!! A couple of thoughts usually go through most women’s minds during this time — a) I really need a pedicure and b) I really need a fresh new pair of flip-flops.  To the fashion rescue are the fabulous, comfortable and blinged out brand of footwear called, ‘FlipOut.‘ These flip-flops are unlike any other brand out there because they have ‘interchangeable’ bling ornaments! That’s right, you can simply change the look of your flip-flops/jellies by simply switching out the accessory on the top — how amazing!!

I recently had the opportunity to meet and chat with both Cheryl Hamersmith-Stewart and Tracey Hunter who created these dazzling beauties for your tootsies!  The idea for this footwear line came to them during one of their many photo shoots in the Caribbean. Imagine setting up photo and TV shoots for models walking in deep sand wearing high heels?! Forget about it! After a few too many times battling the sand and still trying to look stylish these owners of a nationally acclaimed advertising agency that has been designing creative ad campaigns for top international travel brands such as Sandals Resorts for years — came up with a sandal concept of their own!! Voila — ‘FlipOut’ was born.

Brides to be? This is your chance to look like a true super-star during a gorgeous beach or destination wedding!! These also make the perfect gift for your bridesmaids!! I recently wore my pair in a photo/video segment I taped for SwimSpot ( I serve as Style Editor for a leading swimwear business) and everyone was complimenting my feet! Last night, I wore them to dinner, a few people stopped and made inquiries.

This fashion forward brand has been featured in ‘In Touch Weekly’, ‘The New York Post’, ‘Hollywood Life’, ‘Ok! Magazine’, among others and has even been worn on the Oscar Red Carpet!!

A special thank you to Alexandra Masko who works at the Narrative Group for inviting me to meet the designers of this wonderful summer perfect, beach perfect flip-flop line!! Alexandra most definitely has her pulse on what the hottest brands and trends are in the Fashion & Beauty industries!!

FlipOut is the premiere summer footwear flip-flop and a Spring/Summer 2011 must-have!! To watch the video regarding this exciting brand, click here!!
