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!

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.
Mazaki is a great shoe to start your day. It’s not just for the long summer days, but for every single day. Perfect for your early morning walks, hikes, or jogs, this sneaker is everything you want and more!

This uber-lightweight sneaker features a canvas upper with elastic on the vamp for easy off/on. Vex also features an upper with distressed edges and contrast stitching. I swear you’ll never want to take these babies off!
For the gals that love a athletic, casual look (and hightop sneakers), Fruitcake is for you! This hightop sneaker features a pre-distressed upper with top-stitching, terry cloth lining, slip-on entry, decorative laces, and decorative zipper. Not to mention, this cutie has an ultra-comfortable super foam insole. Pair these with a denim jacket and your favorite romper for a California-cool look.

Hallelujah, summer is here!
It’s officially our favorite season of the year! Sweet, sunny summer. To celebrate the launch of summer 2019, we invited a bunch of our favorite gals to Malibu Café, a gem hidden away in the hills of Malibu, California. This cute, rustic country mart is the place for yummy local eats and refreshing, cool drinks.
Our uber-fashionable guests enjoyed games, tasty food, delicious drinks. It was awesome to see the gals socialize with each other as well as representatives from the brand. So many smiles, laughs, and great conversation! A huge highlight for guests was being able to check out the upcoming product from our Blowfish Malibu Europe line. Trust us, there are some cuties in there! But one of our favorite moments of the evening was being able to teach our European friends how to make a proper American s’more! It’s quite incredible to see the face of someone eating a s’more for the first time. Let’s just say we may have started an obsession.
How are you celebrating the start to summer?

Remember these five rules next time you are getting dressed for work.
Do you ever stumble out of bed on a workday only to stare into your closet and moan, “I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!” Well, my friend, you are not alone. I take part in that predicament almost every day. For me, it is important that I am dressed appropriately for work and comfortable. Who can get any work done when their pants are too tight or their shirt keeps riding? I sure can’t. So I like using the following rules when I get dressed for work:
There is nothing better than a cute pair of shoes with all-day comfort. We all have things to stress about throughout the workday and having uncomfortable shoes should not be one of them! I personally recommend Ozone for a cute sandal or Leeds, if you are looking for a bit of a lift.
Remember: you are at work! Wearing short skirts or low cut tops might have you tugging at your clothes all day so might as well keep them in your closet. I’m not saying to cover up from head to toe, but keep things at an appropriate length. When in doubt, I use the arm’s length rule: make sure your skirt or dress rests lower than your fingertips when your arms are resting straight down.
It’s important to dress appropriately for your industry and role. If you work at a startup where it’s ok to be more casual, go for it! Work at a fashion brand? Feel free to take risks and trend it up. If you work at a law firm, go a bit more professional. Whatever the case, make sure you are dressed for the job. (And for the job that you want!)
Trust me, I love a casual look more than most, but I always make sure to put thought into my outfit. For example, I like pairing a tee-shirt and denim skirt with a cute pair of heels. I wear my Hapuku’s with almost every casual look I own! Remember that accessorizing a casual outfit goes a long way.
YOU DO YOU! Show your style and personality at work! Spice up your work-appropriate look with something that makes your individuality stand out.
We would love to hear how you dress up your Blowfish Malibu shoes for work! Tag us @blowfishmalibu for a chance to be featured!

Sandal season is finally here, my friends!
I am so excited to announce that it’s finally that time of the year again – sandal (and pedicure) season! We can finally bring our sandals and wedges back into the mix to pair with slip dresses, cut off shorts, and summer jumpers. We love how versatile our sandals are – ranging from strappy to full coverage and micro-wedge to super wedge. Dress them up, dress them down, wear them all over town. Check out a few of our favorite sandal picks so far this year for outfit inspiration from some Blowfish Malibu babes.
This sandal features a unique silhouette, a micro-wedge heel, inside zipper, and accent ankle straps. Don’t forget about Blowfish Malibu’s signature slightly cushioned footbed, too. With this style and comfort, you won’t want to take Blumoon off for the entire season! Wear them while romping around the beach, or strutting your stuff in Hollywood.

Stride all day in this ultra strappy sandal! The Blowfish Malibu Bungalow is the perfect sandal to pair with a casual summer dress or shorts and a tank! The double ankle strap accent and slightly-cushioned footbed that is signature to all of Blowfish’s sandals make this sandal not only chic but comfortable. Plus, the heel zipper lets you get in and out of these super quick. Take these babies to your next destination vacation for the ultimate combination of cool and comfort!

Need an extra boost in the height department? Don’t worry, me too! That’s why Leeds is my go-to wedge for occasions when I need to be comfortable and dressed to kill. These sandals effortlessly pair with denim jeans or your favorite summer dress. Leeds features a faux-leather upper and buckle detailing at the ankle. Added bonus? This style is registered vegan by the Vegan Society!

Ensure your summer looks are California-cool with Makara from Blowfish Malibu. This platform sandal features a faux stacked sole with a molded footbed and faux leather upper. Don’t forget the cute details like the dented studs, branded buckle, and O-ring detail. These beauties are perfect for your casual lazy days, but also when you still want to look cute. Pair Makara with your favorite maxi dress or boyfriend jeans and a vintage top for that ultra Cali look.

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.

We put the new Vex sneaker to the ultimate test.
Have you ever owned a pair of shoes that you just never wanted to take off? So much so that you refused any other shoe in your closet? I remember when I was young, my little sister was obsessed with her cowboy boots. She had a pair of white, calf-high boots with pink fringe. They had a little heel and silver buckles. She wore them incessantly. The only time she ever took them off was for soccer practice. She would wear them to the field (picture her in her soccer shorts and jersey) before changing into her cleats. And when soccer practice was finished, she would immediately throw her boots back on. Now, that is love!
I’m looking for that type of unconditional love. I’m searching for a shoe that is durable, comfortable, stylish, and that I can wear nonstop.
I put Vex to the test and wore the sneaker from 9am – 9pm for two days. Learn about my findings below!
The first thing I look for in a shoe is comfortability. I want to make sure I am comfy and that the shoe is easeful. Vex’s appeal is in its comfort. This ultra-lightweight sneaker features a canvas upper with elastic on the vamp so putting the shoe on and taking it off is super easy. It’s light weight so the shoe easily bends and moves with your foot, and I have to say it felt really nice! I wore them with and without socks and not once did I get a blister.
These cuties are light weight but they pack a punch! I took mine out for a spin (hike) at Griffith Park, and though they did get a little dusty, they stayed strong and supportive. However, if you need extra support for your arches, I recommend getting inserts.
I absolutely love the look of the newest silhouette from Blowfish Malibu. Vex features an upper with distressed edges and contrast stitching for a subtle pop. This sneaker goes with everything which made getting dressed each morning a breeze. On day one, I paired them with a mini sundress and denim jacket for a California-cool look. And on the next day I wore them with ankle tapered jeans and a mens white button-down long sleeve shirt. I felt totally put together and polished, yet casual and laid back.
So, it’s official. These sneakers go with everything and are super comfortable. I absolutely adore the new Vex sneakers and think I just may have found the love I was looking for.

How to wear one style five different ways.
I am a sneaker girl, through and through. No matter the weather, circumstance, or outfit I always find myself reaching for my sneakers. The laceless style, Play, is one of my favorites. Easy to slip on, super comfortable and beyond versatile, these shoes make getting dressed a breeze. Last week I decided to wear these cuties every day, Monday through Friday. Though I knew I would love wearing comfortable sneakers all week, I was surprised at how easy it was to style.
Take a look at how I styled the Play sneakers five different ways.
I love a casual dress, especially on a Monday morning. Mondays are tough as it is, so getting dressed shouldn’t be. Just throw on a casual dress, slip on your sneakers and you’re out the door!
I love an all-black look with white sneakers. This style is fresh, city-friendly, and totally effortless. Next time you plan on wearing all black, modernize your look with white sneakers. It’s very rock ‘n roll… a la Patti Smith.
Where are my fellow dog moms at? I love this easy-to-wear, classic look for a day running errands and hanging with my pup, Ruby. This style is honestly so simple to pull off. Plus the top can be swapped for a vintage graphic tee, classic white tee, or even a crispy white button-down. Mark this look “Ruby-approved.”
I am a huge fan of vintage fashion, especially when it nods to the early ’90s. Layer a sundress with a long (or short) sleeve top to bring the look to another level. Add a casual sneaker like Play to top it all off.
End the week with a comfy and cozy look like the one pictured above. To keep it casual and oh-so-California, slip on your Play sneakers for an effortless, beach-y look.
Are you a sneaker girl too? How do you like to style your favorite pair?

New year, new you. Err… I mean, new shoes!
2019 is just around the corner, and what better way to kick off a new year than with some fresh footwear? Here are some of our top picks to help you put your best foot forward in 2019!
We’re massive fans of this Western inspired bootie. Partner them with your favorite pair of denim and a leather jacket for a look that’s easy and effortless this January.
We’re heading into the most rainy part of the year, so it’s essential that you have the gear to keep you cozy and warm while the weather outside is dismal. Koto SHR is a water-resistant shearling lined sneaker that will keep you both comfortable and dry at the same time.
Rider is hands down one of our favorite pairs of boots this season. Chunky, yet on-trend, Rider is the kind of boot that can go with everything in your closet. Whether you pair them with leggings or your trusted pair of skinny jeans, round out the look with a vintage tee and oversized sweater.
We’re ALL about adding a little bit of height to your every day look, which is why Batik is a no-brainer when it comes to ankle booties. A low profile silhouette with a wedge heel to give your outfit a boost, Batik can easily be worn day or night in 2019.
The weather may be gloomy, but that doesn’t mean your outfit has to be. Enter Playwire: a metallic take on our favorite Play sneaker, which will help you stand out from the crowd. Pair with an all black ensemble to really let your shoes do the talking.
Mondo is easily one of our favorite sneakers for day-to-day running around, so it’s no surprise that these made our list of must-haves for the new year. Both comfortable and functional, these are a stylish additional to any girl’s wardrobe.
A high boot is essential for any cold weather season, and Viejo is a spectacular choice for any look. Highly reviewed by everyone who wears it, Viejo will help you ride into the warmer months with ease.
Marley will forever be our go-to sneaker, and we are obsessed with this winter floral pattern for the season. The weather outside may be dreary, but that doesn’t mean your outfit needs to be!
