How to Wear our Spring Sandals

Spring sandals for the win. 

Springtime is here! …and, if you couldn’t tell, we’re very excited about it. There’s nothing we love more than warm weather, especially when that means we can dust off our spring wardrobe and stock up on some fresh sandals for the season.

We sent out some of our favorite spring sandals to some lovely ladies to shoot, and we are (very much) obsessed with how they styled them for spring. We love all of the casual, California-cool looks styled with our Blowfish Malibu shapes, prints, metallics and all-time strappy faves. But we’re warning you… you may very well want every single pair on this list after reading!

It’s National Tie Dye Day! Let’s Celebrate!

It’s National Tie Dye Day and we are here for it!

Today is National Tie Dye Day and to celebrate, we sent some of our favorite kiddos their very own kit to tie dye their own Blowfish Malibu Kids shirt.

The best part of the box we sent out? A fresh pair of Rioo-T sneakers! Rioo-T is a lightweight, hand washable EVA sneaker perfect for your little one and all her adventures this season.

One of the lil cuties who received a tie dye kit was @izzynell2626. She did an excellent job of showing off the goodies that we sent her for today’s fun holiday.

Boo! BTS of our Kids Virtual Halloween Art Class

Step behind the scenes of our virtual Halloween art class for kids!

To celebrate Halloween, we invited our sneaker designer Jannie Denney, to lead a virtual art class for kids. Our young invitees were able to design their own Blowfish Malibu Kids sneakers!

Before the event, everyone was sent a pair of sneakers, fabric markers, as well as loads of candy and Halloween goodies. Costumes were encouraged, of course! This was such a fun way to celebrate Halloween safely, while also letting the little ones be creative.

Check out the class here and feel free to color on your own sneakers at home!

Pride Month: Introducing a Special Edition Sneaker

We are celebrating Pride Month by releasing a special edition sneaker!

Across the globe, June is widely celebrated as Pride Month. It is a chance to honor the powerful, progressive, and positive impact that the LGBTQ community has around the world. It is also an opportunity to take a significant stance against discrimination and social stigmas. Pride Month is about positivity and often celebrated by parades, rallies, community events, special merchandise, and other festivities.

To celebrate the wonderful occasion this month, we launched a special edition Marley sneaker. This social sneaker proudly boasts colorful rainbow detailing on the shoe and throughout the insole. As always, the Marley sneaker continues to be one of the most comfortable and easy-to-wear shoes so you can confidently (and comfortably) celebrate all day. Marley features contrast rainbow stitching and a canvas upper with elastic on the vamp for easy off/on so you can effortlessly kick them off when you get home.

Whether you are honoring yourself, your friends, or your loved ones this month, check out our special edition Marley sneaker. They are undoubtedly a pair of shoes you can be proud to wear.

Shop the sneaker on DSW here.

How are you planning on celebrating Pride Month? Tag us on Instagram celebrating Pride Month or wearing your Pride Marley sneakers for a chance to be featured!

New Year, New Shoes

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!

Vianna

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.

Koto SHR

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

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.

Batik

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.

Playwire

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

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.

Viejo

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

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!

Blowfish Malibu Style We Can’t Get Enough Of!

New year, fresh looks. Inspiring style brought to you by some of our favorite Blowfish Malibu babes. 

The majority of us use a new year to reflect on the past. Some people may choose to create resolutions and set goals, while others may use this time to simply be inspired.  A new year presents us a clean slate and in turn gives us hope for the future. Out with the old, in with the new, right? These newly set intentions and thoughts weave through various parts of our lives;  from health and wellness, to financial resolutions, travel goals, and style. Because we are fashion-obsessed (duh), this week we’re looking for inspiring, new ways to update our wardrobe for the new year. With every new season, we rely on some of our favorite Blowfish Malibu babes who rock their looks (and their Blowfish Malibu kicks) to encourage fun change.

This means we’re headed to IG to hunt down fresh looks to inspire and revamp our style.

Find inspiration below!

Love Island’s adorable @lauraloucrane is rocking her Ralo boot, available at Office Shoes in Europe. We love how she paired these boots with a leather jacket and vintage tee.

@theangelajones lovessss her Mondo sneakers and wears them while running around Los Angeles any chance she gets. We are totally feeling the camo jacket paired with denim cut-offs. Plus, that high ponytail is killing it.

We don’t think we’ll ever get over the Bungalow sandal (a year-round favorite, if you ask us!), and @lularoeashelymickelson is rocking hers like summer never ended! PS. how amazing is that floral duster!?

@ashleerosehartley is one of the cutest girls on the ‘gram. It’s no surprise we can’t get over how well she styled one of our classic styles: Balla.

We’ve got a massive crush on @jeskenyon and can’t get over how well she styled our beloved Play sneaker. Can we get this outfit for ourselves, ASAP? LOVE the long sweater and sneaker combo.

Comfort + casual + effortless + modern = the perfect look. We love how @jasinez paired her adorable grey slip-on’s with cute denim trousers and an on-trend mustard sweater!

@theclumsytraveler is a great friend to the brand, and she effortlessly rocks our favorite shoes throughout the year. Check her out on the Santa Monica pier in a pair of on-trend neutral booties! They look perfect with her cuffed boyfriend jeans and casual, yet feminine, white tee.

@vanessa_la_blanche is making us feel “50 shades of jealous” with this fresh, winter-approved ensemble. We need grey booties ASAP.

We don’t know what we love more: @jeskenyon in her comfy Play sneakers this season or that yummy latte she’s drinking!

Feeling inspired? Which looks would you rock this year?

BTS: Spring & Summer 2019 Photo Shoot!

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.

Take a look at our photo shoot behind the scenes below!

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.

The Shoes you Need for the Rest of Fall

A comprehensive and fun list of our favorite shoes you need for the rest of fall. 

The girls over here at Blowfish Malibu might be suckers for summer, but we love fall fashion. We want to walk you through some of our favorite Blowfish Malibu styles for fall and break down the perfect way of wearing them. Plus, we promise all of these looks are beach approved.

Keep reading to see our list of shoes you need right now.

Style: Batik

Wedge booties are having a major moment this fall, and Batik will be the ultimate style for all of your feminine looks. Pair with a long sleeved mini dress, some peekaboo socks, and an oversized hat for a look that’s both flirty and California cool.

Style: Chomper

Our take on the classic combat boot, Chomper is an adorable look for our tomgirls. Paired with a pair of distressed jeans and a moto jacket (ocean optional), Chomper is a boot that you will keep reaching for as soon as the weather cools down.

Style: Vianna

The western trend is huge this fall, with cowboy boots taking over the feet of most fashion bloggers on the planet. Vianna is a Blowfish Malibu boot with a western twist — a classic silhouette with some braided detailing that makes these irresistible. Pair with an overall dress and a striped turtleneck for a modern take on this fresh style.

Style: Rider

Okay, we have to admit something. We’re obsessed with the Rider boot and it’s easy to see why. The perfect balance of chunky and feminine, Rider will easily go with everything in your closet. Located in California? Throw yours on with a pair of cutoffs and an oversized grandpa cardigan.

Style: Camper

If you are looking to opt out of boots this fall, then snag a pair of super cute high-tops instead! Camper, available at Buckle, is an intricate high top that is anything but basic. The two-tone colorway can easily go with any beachside inspired look. We paired ours with classic black skinnies, a grey tee and an oversized denim jacket. (Did someone say Fall uniform?)

Style: San Fran

San Fran is so not just a city in Northern California anymore. These laser cut booties are the only pair of shoes we’ve been wearing in the office. Paired with a seasonally colored dress and a fitted blazer, this is a pair of shoes that can work just as easily in the evenings as they work in the day. Grab ’em fast!

Style: Sistee

A classic bootie is a must-have each Fall/Winter and you seriously don’t need to look any further than Sistee. A classic ankle boot with some buckle details, Sistee definitely won’t let you down. Pair with your favorite pair of denim and a black tee, and make sure to remember your LA Dodger’s hat as you run out the door!

Which style is your favorite? Let us know!

Meet some of our Blowfish Boos

Halloween is here(!) so we’re highlighting some of our favorite Blowfish boos.

Okay, we admit it. We’re a little shooketh that it’s actually Halloween, considering we were JUST dancing at Coachella, right? That being said, as sad as we are that summer is over, we’re pretty obsessed with the Fall styles we’re seeing. Furthermore, we’re extra obsessed with how some of our favorite Instagram boos are styling their Blowfish Malibu kicks.

Check them out below!

Angela Jones – one of our favorite LA gals – is rocking the hell out of her Storz bootie. She seriously makes us want these in every single color.

Ashlee Rose Hartley fully embraced fall in both her outfit and the scenery! Can we be transported there right now, please? Her bootie is San Fran and completely convinces us that Leopard is indeed a neutral these days.

My Wee Buddy is SERIOUSLY rocking the Stood Up bootie in Whiskey. How would you wear these bad boys this fall?

Stephanie Wolfe is rocking Kalvin, a red faux-leather sneaker that you’ll never want to take off this season.

The Clumsy Traveler proves that a good sneaker is an excellent choice year-round by wearing PLAY, one our favorite pair of kicks. No joke, we wear these every day.

Erin Rose Official rocked Campfire, a Buckle exclusive, during her epic road trip through the states this Fall. How perfect are these cuties!?

Joining Erin on the road was Mallory on the Moon, who rocked our favorite bootie of the fall, PAULO, also available exclusive.

Zazusworld may be the cutest thing we’ve ever seen in Sanborn, available for our European friends at Office.

Do you have a favorite pair of Blowfish Malibu shoes that you’ve been wearing non-stop? We’d love to see how you rock them, so tag us on Instagram! And who knows, maybe you’ll be featured in the next highlight reel of our favorite gals!
