Check out our favorite summer sneakers!
Summer is halfway through (nooo!) and you better believe we have been enjoying our time outside in the sunshine. Whether we’ve been taking advantage of the longer days by being active and adventurous, or by relaxing in the golden glow, sneakers have been our constant companion. Lightweight, comfortable, and cute, Blowfish Malibu sneakers are summer-ready at a moment’s notice. So we had some of our friends at the Blowfish Malibu headquarters share their favorite sneakers for summer. See how we’re styling them for the rest of the sunny season.

We are diving deep into sandal season!
Now that the weather is reaching peak perfection, sandals and wedges are coming back in a big way. On trend for spring and summer 2019, strappy sandals add a polished, yet laidback vibe, to warm weather wardrobes. Whether they are paired with a flowing, printed maxi or denim short shorts, sandals are the perfect piece to round out any look. Not only are they on-trend, they are extremely comfortable so you can wear them all summer long.
Here at Blowfish Malibu, we go the extra mile to make our sandals even more comfy. Our new styles feature a faux cork footbed and are certified vegan leather, which makes them feel like you are walking on clouds. Seriously! Straight out of the box, our sandals feel like heaven.
So, in light of fast approaching sandal weather across the country, we’re taking a few minutes today to explore our new faux cork sandal collection. Check it out below!
Our most popular sandal yet! Granola-B is a classic Blowfish Malibu style with a braided detail at the vamp. This sandal features a vegan leather strappy detail that is easily adjustable for added comfort. And speaking of added comfort, Granola-B boasts a lightly padded, faux cork footbed making it the perfect sandal for your long walks on the beach with your furry baby!
Add some California inspired flavor to your summer looks with Goya! This sandal features our signature faux cork footbed and a vegan leather upper with velcro closure. While the velcro aids in making these sandals absolutely effortless, the braided strap adds an extra ounce of flair. Pair these with your favorite sundress for an undeniably fresh look.
This sandal is for the ultimate Cali girl! Gazee features our signature faux cork footbed, a vegan leather upper with a contrasting pattern detail, and a velcro closure. This sandal is beyond versatile. Pair them with vintage boyfriend jeans and romantic top, or dance the night away in them at your BFF’s wedding.

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.

Take a peek behind the scenes of the Spring/Summer 2018 campaign, Cali Living.
Spring is in the air, ladies, and it smells so sweet in Malibu. For the next couple of months we will be showing you all of the stylish new Spring/Summer shoes on our social media spaces, and we’ll even show you how to style them on our Journal. From laceless sneakers to classic sandals, our newest collection is redesigned in a refreshing and innovative way. But before we do that, we wanted to take you behind the scenes of our latest photo shoot so you can get a glimpse of what goes on behind all of the glitz and glamour.
We shot over the course of two days, at two different locations. The first shoot day was at a stunning mid-century modern beach house in Malibu. Large circular windows provided overwhelming views of the Pacific Ocean which was just a few feet away. Spray from the huge crashing waves below splashed those of us who were on the top story of the multi-level deck! It was awesome. Once we wrapped at the beach house, we made our way to the iconic Malibu Pier. The weather was warm and the sun was shining – it was a perfect day to shoot on the pier. Visiting tourists were eager to know what we were shooting, and even snapped a few sneaky photos themselves.
Day two brought us to Dockweiler State Beach in Playa del Rey. This beach has almost four miles of ocean frontage and nearly 300 acres of sand. Not to mention, a bike path that crosses through it, volleyball courts, fire rings and picnic tables. It is one of the most popular beaches in Los Angeles County and an iconic place to shoot. Day two was all about having fun under the sun! We rode around on beach cruisers, scooters, skateboards, and we even used an awesome retro 1984 Volkswagon Vanagon Riviera (which had been built out as an adventure mobile) for some shots. The sweet ride has padded side walls, custom curtains, rotating speakers, a couch that flips down into a bed, and custom built cabinets. Hello dream-mobile! We ended the day with a gorgeous sunset and huge, satisfied smiles.
We had a dream team for this year’s Spring/Summer photo shoot! Celeb hair and makeup artist, Suzy, glammed up our two models, Yared and Caitlyn. Melodi Meadows brought her unique Cali style to our shoot as our stylist. Photographers, Derek Wood and Joanna Rentz, created the gorgeous shots that you see on our website and Andrew Garcia captured the vibe in video form! Produced and directed by Blowfish Malibu superstars, Karen and Nikol.
