Apparently, the girl next door is so 5 minutes ago.
“How do you like it, straight up or extra dirty?”
I’m glad they sent me the one with the Martini. I keep admiring it when I’m wearing the pair, hehe. Retails for P1990.00
I love these cheeky and fabulous pair of flip flops from Girl Two Doors Down, courtesy of The Flat Shop! I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when I read the inscriptions on them. Not only do they make perfectly bold statements, they carry an impressive bling that may put your heels to shame. They’re ultra comfy–I daresay they’re even more comfy than my favorite pair of Flojos.
I’m a staunch believer of standing by your high heels. Some girls usually bring flats with them in case they get tired, but I’ve always thought, what’s the point of wearing them if you’re not gonna be in them the whole time you’re out? So I never bring an extra pair of flats with me, despite the fact that I end up suffering hours of standing on stilettos. But I think I’m ready to make an exception for this one. If I must be seen outside in flip-flops, then it must be in style, right? They’re actually pretty perfect for malling or strolling by High Street.
Yeah, sorry for the view. Just got home from a pedicure appointment at The Nail Spa.
Check out the other pairs, the captions are a hoot:
“I believe in a total body workout. Currently, my finger benches 3 carats.”
“If you have to ask, you cannot afford me.”
“Is the glass half empty or full? Depends who’s buying.”
“Which trophy collection are you referring to? My bling or cabana boys?”
Statement-free designs are also available, which are much simpler, but still with the same gorgeous ornaments (hearts, flowers, stars, crosses and like mine, martinis). Girl Two Doors Down has quite a following from Hollywood celebrities already, apparently:
Girl Two Doors Down only been recently available here locally at The Flatshop, which also sells brands like FitFlops, Sanuk, Bandals, Melissa, and Anthology.

Ah, this was the pair I wanted to nenok from our condo shoe rack. Hahaha! I tried them on and they’re super sarap sa feet!
Love the statements! The one you got is so nice, very stylish. =)Thanks for sharing, Alex! Happy Hearts’ Day, love!
sakto ang polish color sa flip flops!
