Switch-Flops Review and Giveaway

Even though I live in Seattle now and love it, I am a true California girl at heart, and I always will be. Anybody who has ever seen me in the wintertime would probably know this is true, because I wear flip-flops. All. The. Time. Rain or shine! Hot or cold! I just love flip-flops. I will walk around an amusement park for an entire day wearing my Reefs and be completely happy about it. I don't like socks and shoes!

So I knew I wanted to try out Switchflops. They're so unique! You choose your basic flip-flop color, and you can buy a ton of different straps that stick right on with velcro. It's such a cool way to change your whole look and match your flip-flops to different outfits without having to own a million different pairs and stuff your closet full of them. I love their slogan. . .
"Change your look, not your sole."

Here's the basic flip-flop pair I was sent:
And the interchangeable strap changes it to look like this:
I love my comfy Reefs, but these just take flip-flops to a whole new level of style!

Lindsay Phillips designed these and the concept actually came from a high school art project. You've got to check out the website and play around with all the different color and design choices. It's really fun! You can see how all the straps look on the different colors of Switchflops.
I love these basic Switchflops (the cute polka dot design actually comes on it)!
And I think this strap is SO pretty! You could wear your casual strap during the day, then just change out the straps to this one for a dressy date night. Just stick the extra straps in your purse!
I really think this is a cool product, and here's how you can enter to WIN your own pair with an extra pair of straps:
*Leave me a comment on this post telling me what you love to wear on your feet!

    I love the brown combos!! What a clever idea. And my current brown flip flops are 3 years old and in desperate need of replacing.

    All because Sam Jo blogged about it, I found your giveaway. What a cool idea for flip flops. I couldn't decide...I know that was part of the rules. I just wanna win free flip flops, and am not picky as long as they are size 8. =)

    OMG alright, I love the lulu-black with allie straps, cheryl, elba, gayle, hope, irene (cuz I'm old-skool), johanna, jordi, laura (cuz I love animal print), maureen (cuz I love the little embellishment), nicola (cuz it reminds me of Reefs), sheila, stasia, but STELLA is my fav!

    I have been wanting a pair of switch flops forever! I love the black Taylor wedge with the Vanesssa strap!

    BTW, also blogged (http://devylgyrl.com/2009/07/29/happy-birthday-to-you-and-me-210365/), tweeted (http://twitter.com/Devyl/status/2907839106), and FB'd the blog link to this contest.

    I probably Plurked it as well, b/c that is where I hang out most. Your giveaways are too awesome not to share!

    And, of course, I followed your blog.
