Go behind the scenes of our spring and summer photoshoot in sunny Palm Springs!
Another season, another photoshoot! The Blowfish Malibu team headed out to the legendary Saguaro Hotel in Palm Springs, California, for a colorful shoot for our Spring/Summer 2021 collection. The hotel is full of vibrant pops of color, flashy hues and ultra saturated tones. Our new spring and summer 2021 collection follows suit. It is super bright and colorful, and filled with tie dye and hot hues. So, obviously the Saguaro made perfect sense! (Want to see some of the new product? Keep scrolling for a little peek!)
Our team spent two days there shooting for both Womens and Kids back in November, 2020. So, that gave us a ton of time to prep and get assets ready for the upcoming season.

Take a look at the sneakers that we’re dying over this spring.
Springtime calls for sneakers. When you’re ready to break out of boots and booties, but can’t quite commit to sandals (or maybe the sun hasn’t got his hat on yet) – sneakers are the go-to.
This spring things have been quite different, and maybe not as adventurous as we intended, but we wanted to share our top picks for the season – plus we’ve loved seeing how our community styles our faves.
Tie-Dye is everywhere this season, and we aren’t the exception. Style Play comes in multiple colors, but we’re in love with the pop of color from the tie-dye this spring!

Marley is a fan fave. This sweet grey color is so versatile and perfect for spring. Pair with denim and a simple tee for an effortless California look.

If in doubt, a plain white sneaker goes with everything. Including casual dresses! We’re in love with style Fruit – they are so versatile. We’re convinced it goes with everything in our wardrobe!

We won’t let “shelter in place” keep us from rockin’ our Easter style.
With Easter falling right smack dab in the middle of the “stay at home” order in Southern California, it’s going to be tough to get into the spirit of the holiday. Especially since we’ve been loving living in our comfy leggings. But that said, we’re going to try to get ourselves together, if anything, to maintain some sort of semblance of normalcy during this time. Easter is a holiday we look forward to each year so we’re pulling out all the stops when it comes to our Easter style.
Scroll through for some serious inspiration for getting dressed this Easter Sunday.
The HELM wedge, pictured above, has quickly become a fan favorite after being introduced last season. Pair this lightweight wedge with an easy-breezy spring dress for a look that’s just as comfortable as your favorite pair of Lulus.
We need to take a second to talk about our obsession with the LEEDS platform sandal. Introduced last season, this flatform wedge is at the top of our list, even selling out across the US last year. However, this year, we made sure to have plenty available. Our favorite is leopard print (so cute!) so grab this epic sandal while you still can!
Embrace the feeling of Easter by pairing Leeds with your favorite springtime dress – and then change back into leggings after dinner.
We are suckers for a heeled mule (when we’re actually in the office, it’s pretty much all we wear). So the LEOH mule is a great option to slip on for effortless Easter style. Throw on some vintage Levi’s (though we know denim is everyone’s least favorite things these days), and a tee and enjoy the afternoon with your family.
If you ask anyone who works on the marketing team what their favorite shoe is for SS2020, it’s LEIGH. Can you blame us? The mule silhouette? The espadrille detailing? I’d personally wear these every chance I get, so I’ll slip them on Easter Sunday with a pair of vintage Levi shorts and a cute top, and enjoy the holiday in my backyard with my family.
The HIROSHA wedge is back, and better than ever! A pop of leopard and contrasting faux-leather ankle straps make this lightweight wedge a serious winner for the season. Plus it will make you feel a little more jazzed up when you’re at home this Easter Sunday.
The LEELEE wedge is a great choice for someone who wants a little height, but can’t typically wear shoes that are too high. Featuring a velcro closure at the ankle, these lightweight wedges are a total breeze to wear, whether you’re running around outside or enjoying a nice dinner indoors with your family.
Talk about our perfect at-home Easter outfit! Slip into your favorite linen jumpsuit for maximum comfort, and strap on the forever wonderful GOYA vegan sandal. We promise you’ll feel as though you’re basking in the sunshine all day.
Ultimately, even though the current circumstances are challenging, the situation is what you make of it! Spend some quality time with your family/quarantine-mates, and try to find joy throughout the day. We’re all in this together, and we’ll get through this together.
Happy Easter, from the Blowfish Malibu family to yours!

Just because we’re stuck indoors, doesn’t mean you can’t get cute! So we’ve rounded up some top kids styles to inspire spring dressing for your little Blowfish Malibu kiddo.
Getting the kids out of their pajamas and into regular clothes can be a struggle these days. (Ok, maybe it’s hard for me to get out of PJs too!) But I also know how good I feel after I’ve showered, freshened up a bit, and put on a cute outfit. So, if that makes me feel good, I know it can do the same for the littles. Blowfish Malibu Kids have launched new, adorable, fun, fresh spring styles so we’re showing them off by pairing them with some super cute styling.
I love how simple yet adorable this outfit is. This look is serving California-inspired flavor featuring our signature faux cork footbed and faux leather upper with velcro closure. Style Goya-K can be found online at Zappos.com
I mean…! How cute is she?! We know the weather across the country isn’t as warm as SoCal, so we are loving this look by @livin.mivida.ale. A colorful sweater and some cute detailed jeans, paired with our Marley-K in the new floral print, is major fashion inspiration! Shop Marley-K here!
We love a sweet mommy & me matching outfit! But these floral style Play shoes paired with this adorable coral colored graphic tee is just too much cuteness. You can find these shoes that @whitneypeavy styled here!
We can’t forget about our favorite style this season, Play-K & Play-T in Rainbow Tie Dye! And we love matching sister outfits – I mean, who doesn’t?! Shop Play-K in Rainbow Tie Dye here.

Pair Tanna with your dresses this spring for a look that is effortlessly Californian. This platform sandal features a faux stacked sole with a molded footbed and faux leather upper. Don’t overlook the details – the side zipper closure for easy on/off, the branded hardware, and rope detailing around the outsole add to the cuteness.

There’s a Blumoon rising.
With sandal season just around the corner, I’m excited to introduce you to our newest style for spring. Blumoon is not only the hottest Blowfish Malibu style for warm weather, it’s also an office fave. The unique silhouette features a micro-wedge heel, inside zipper, and accent ankle straps. And of course this shoe features Blowfish Malibu’s signature slightly cushioned footbed. With its on-trend style and unique comfort qualities, you will be rocking Blumoon for the entire season!
This laidback sandal is perfect for all your spring adventures. From aimlessly touring European streets to a date night to stroll on the Santa Monica Pier, the cushioned footbed will keep you comfy and looking cute. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve packed new shoes for vacation only to be disappointed by blisters and sore feet. But not with Blumoon! These cuties have your back. They are so famously comfortable that you won’t even realize you are wearing sandals.
Blumoon comes in a few color options so grab the color of your choice and pair it with your favorite spring outfit. I love wearing mine with ripped boyfriend jeans and a vintage knit top. For ultimate California vibes, wear them with a sundress and denim jacket or high-wasted shorts and a tank.
We’d love to see how you style the new Blumoon sandal! Don’t forget to tag us @blowfishmalibu for a chance to be featured.

Three of our favorite sneakers for spring.
Spring is the month to bloom, my friends! I’m sure you are just as excited as I am to welcome spring with open arms. The weather is getting slightly warmer, the sun is out longer, the hills are green, and the flowers are blooming. But those aren’t the only things I’m excited about. It’s the fact that we can now begin to shift our wardrobe from winter to spring! So long, bulky layers. See ya later, beanies. Until next time, sweaters. Because it’s spring now! It’s time to break out those mini dresses and match them with your favorite Blowfish Malibu sneakers.
@theangelajones, @livviedix
For those gals living the active lifestyle, we bring to your attention the Mazaki sneaker. This sneaker is everything you want and more! With a knit upper, decorative contrast laces and a cushioned footbed, Mazaki is a sneaker you’ll be wearing all season long. They also pair nicely with your favorite pair of cut offs and a white tee for a look that is effortlessly Californian.
@nallelysphotography
Freshly picked for spring, and a personal favorite of mine, is the Fruit sneaker. This low-rise sneaker features a pre-distressed upper with top-stitching, terry cloth lining, slip-on entry, decorative laces, and decorative zipper. Not to mention, this baby has an ultra-comfortable super foam insole. Pair these with just about anything for a cool, laidback look. Hey Blowfish mamas, this sneaker is also available for kids and selective colors for toddlers!
@xoangierich
Munky is a new style inspired by the laid-back vibes of Southern California. Wear as a sneaker, or push down the back tab with your heel for an easy on/easy off sneaker mule. This the perfect shoe for your early morning errands, yoga classes, and beach walks. You’ll definitely want to get a pair for days that you just want to kick back.
We’d love to see how much you love your Blowfish Malibu shoes! Tag us @blowfishmalibu and we just might feature your pictures on our page.

It’s that time of year again: photo shoot season!
Our marketing team spent the beginning of November hard at work prepping to shoot our upcoming styles for Spring/Summer 2019.
One of the days on set, we spent at a beach house on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. We got there just as the day was breaking, and was fortunate enough to see the most beautiful sunrise. We all enjoyed bagels and coffee for breakfast and then got straight to work turning the house into our photo studio for the day!
This shoot was particularly fun, as we got to host a plethora of little ladies on set! Working with kids can be challenging, but these girls were a dream and we all had blast entertaining them in between shots. How cute are they!? (And, I mean, just look at all the adorable mini Blowfish Malibu shoes!)
The details in the house that we shot at were impeccable. Details, like the surfing book pictured below, can really add a lot of specialness to a shot. (The book definitely made it into to images!) And how great is that wooden walkway in the sand (pictured below)? All these little details really help to add to the bigger picture.
We were lucky to work with a super talented photographer again. We’ve been working with Andrew and the team from Matrimony Media for a while now, so whenever we have a shoot, it’s like hanging out with old friends who we don’t get to see very often. There’s lots of goofing around in between outfit changes, but when we need to get to work, we get it done.
Overall, shooting in Malibu is always a great time – as it’s our home! All of us love being on the beach and find any excuse we possibly can to escape to our little paradise along the Pacific Ocean.
