flopZ - Happy Holidays! August 16 2014

It's been a hectic couple of weeks here at flopZ HQ!

Aga & Alan unveiled some new colours at PURE London & MODA Birmingham last week. Including the rather lovely "Pure White" flopZ which will be part of the Sping / Summer 2015 collection. 

We will be changing our online pricing to £35 + postage. (The change is to make the checkout simpler as some folks forget to enter the free postage code.)  

Meanwhile Sally, Pia and the girls were at Cowes week having a rather wonderful time among the sailing elite (... the Gin & Tonic stall did rather well!) The Isle of Wight was shown off in all it's glory and even the Red arrows turned up with a spectacular display over the harbour just before the fireworks on Friday night (despite the rain.)

 

 


flopZ @ Cowes Week, Isle Of Wight 2nd to 9th August July 21 2014

We're looking forward to Cowes week - flopZ will be in the shopping village at Yacht Haven.


British Beach Polo Championships July 15 2014

   

We overheard someone say "this could be California" as we arrived and checked out the beach. It was hard to disagree with such stunning views and weather!

We were at the Sandbanks for the British Beach Polo Championships, which has to be one of the coolest coastal events of the summer. Ponies on the beach, parties and a fashion show, everything you could want for the perfect beach event!

  

We met our new favourite brand Amoir Camaira, Abbie designs her own fabulous swimwear range which we thought perfectly complimented flopZ. flopZ also made their way onto the catwalk for the fashion show (a welcome change from heels for the models!)

   

A British seaside visit would not be complete without fish and chips, a drink or two and ice cream! Our favourite restaurant was the Shore Cafe which served up tasty dishes accompanied by a spectacular view across the bay.

   

 

 


flopZ @ Henley Royal Regatta July 08 2014

Striped Blazers, fabulous hats and picnics by the Thames...what could be better?

Such a great week at probably the most traditional of events on the social calendar, Henley Regatta. Aga & Alan had the pleasure of staffing the flopZ stall in the shopping village and meeting many lovely people from far and wide, who were clearly enjoying the atmosphere sunshine and rowing action. We had the added interest of cheering on the Sydney Rowing Club crew (coxed by Alan's nephew.) 

With the world cup and Wimbledon in full swing, it was a sporty week all round.

The flopZ flip flops were once again a popular fashion accessory; perfect for strolling along the Thames during the day or that end of day stiletto life-saver. Nice to chill out at the end of the day (even little Ollie needed a rest on our flopZ deck chair.) We discovered a rather special country pub for dinner in Hurley; The Red Lyon, serving up the most delicious food with a couple of beers.


flopZ @ Henley Royal Regatta June 28 2014

We are excited about Henley next week. You will find the flopZ stall in the shopiing village. (stop by and say hello)  We have added interest in the racing as Alan's nephew will be coxing the Australian fours. (go Angus!)

Here comes the sun! June 23 2014

The glorious British summer is well and truly upon us and we are loving every second!

The sun is beaming down as Wimbledon gets under way and the World Cup enters it's second phase after the week in Brazil, not so exciting for England though!

Glastonbury Festival starts this Friday and we are hoping the weather will be more flopZ suited than wellies, the cool and massaging gel layer of flopZ will keep you going all festival long. 

The flopZ team are looking forward to being at the Henley Royal Regatta next week, we will be ready to help take the heat off your feet with our stylish and comfy designs. Once you try them you'll wonder why you bothered with those heels!

Rock 'n' Horsepower June 15 2014

flopZ were part of a great event at Hurtwood Park Polo Country Club on Saturday.

Rock 'n' Horsepower was organised by club owner Kenny Jones (drummer for the Small Faces and The Who!)

The day featured Polo Matches, Classic Cars and a Concert of Rock Legends all in aid of Prostrate Cancer UK. 

An enthusiastic crowd enjoyed the day's events and spirits were definitely not dampened by the midday downpour. It meant guests took shelter under the flopZ stall and exchanged damp shoes for flopZ. Who knew how perfect flopZ are for gliding over the Glastonburyesque mud?

As the sun re-emerged and with Pimms flowing, the party got into full swing with some classic tunes from Mick Hucknall, Nik Kershaw, The Who, Procul Harum, Jeff Beck, Mike & The Mechanics. 

   

 flopZ had a great day and we can't wait for our next outing at the Henley Royal Regatta.


flopZ @ Ibiza June 12 2014

It's great to see the fashion editors loving flopZ!

Here's Carlene, senior features writer for Company Magazine Online wearing flopZ flip flops for their Ibiza 2014 Special!

"What do you wear when it’s 26 degrees in the shade, even hotter in the sun and you’re setting up office in one of the coolest islands in the world?"... Carlene went for a pair of flopZ Caprice flip flops with white straps.

flopZ @ Polo In The Park, Hurlingham, London. June 09 2014

What a fabulous weekend we had at Polo In The Park over the weekend. The sun was shining on Hurlingham Park and the champagne was flowing in the party atmosphere on Friday evening.

The Polo matches were fast paced and exciting with so many goals in this shorter format of the game. We were amazed with the skill of Horse & Rider to manouvre around the field at such pace and whack the ball towards goal (a new sport for us.) 

The fashion and colour was spectacular on Ladies day (saturday), with some fabulous hats, dresses and towering heels ("flopZ.....I need you now!")

Even the guys were glamming things up with some rather colourful ensembles (especially the guys in the yellow and strawberry print suits.)

Sunday was a real fun family atmosphere with huge inflatable bouncy slides and plenty to keep the kids occupied (our little flip flop keyrings were a real hit with the kids)

All in all a thrilling, yet relaxing weekend. 

A&A
