Ipanema's Plataforma has New Colors!

At the Ipanema Walkathon, I got for my mom this Ipanema Gisele Bundchen Seeds pair:



This is called Plataforma, and she loves it very much. I also like how thick the soles of Plataformas are, not to mention it came in White and Gold combination that is very classy. The Ipanema Plataforma is great specially now that it's starting to rain. With this, you can still enjoy wearing flipflops but you have elevation in case the road gets wet, yes?

Now the Ipanema Gisele Bundchen Seeds Plataforma also comes in Pink and Purple:



Check out the nearest Ipanema stands in your favorite mall as they also have new exciting colors for other designs :)

Walking in Style at the Ipanema Walkathon @ The Fort

2:00 PM at The Fort yesterday, people were already present and lining up to register for the Ipanema Walk the Green Mile Walkathon. The crowd included young people, parents and kids, and even models and actresses.

Everyone donned their favorite walking outfit and all I could come up with was this:

The Ipanema Walk the Green Mile Walkathon official shirt, black shorts, Ipanema baller ID, and a pair of Ipanema Thong Fem. Early birds were given the official Ipanema Walk the Green Mile Walkathon shirts, yey! :)

Models including Raya Mananquil and actress Karla Humprey definitely knew how to walk in style with their own pairs of Ipanemas and remain glamorous under the summer's heat.

Prior to the walkathon, some attendees took the time to shop at specially discounted Ipanema flip flops and Haribon Foundation shirts at their respective tents.

The Uganda band had an easy time walking and playing music with their Ipanemas on . Thanks to them everyone enjoyed energizing music while walking "the green mile".

The walkathon ended with a rewarding cocktail at Le Souffle and an Ipanema fashion show. Who knew walkathons can be this fabulous right?

Congratulations to Ipanema and thank you for getting everyone to stand up and walk for the environment.

Ipanema - Gisele Bundchen Seeds

Signed by an Angel, Gisele Bunchen autographed Ipanema flip-flops

Be the girl in Ipanema this Summer! Not the place, but the flip flops. I told you there are lots of summer fashion shows going on and last Thursday, Ipanema launched the Gisele Bundchen seeds. You read it right, our favorite Victoria's Secret Angel and the world's top-earning model.

Ballet Philippines presented the Gisele Bundchen collection through an amazing dance number that made the audience feel the freedom and comfort of wearing Ipanema flip-flops.


Here are Style and Relax's personal picks from the collection:

The Thong Fem is simple but the golden straps make you feel like a goddess from Athens stepping on the sand.

The Sand Fem in green, but I'd like to call it emerald. If you still love the gladiator feel last season, this Ipanema pair is for you. Doesn't the emerald color look elegant? Like wearing gem stones on your feet.

Feel tall and have sexy long legs with the Plataforma Fem. This pair is in white and gold, again like a fallen goddess' foot wear.

Wearing Ipanema GB Seeds not only means luxurious comfort and style but helping the environment as well. Ain't that a great model attitude? Each Ipanema pair you purchase contributes to a lush green forest, your feet will bear fruit - seriously. Also, ELRO - the exclusive distributor of Ipanema flip-flops has partnered with Haribon Foundation and will have an environmental walkathon on March 21, 2009 at The Fort.
