I found this brand on TikTok and was instantly captivated by the personalization of their handcrafted and refillable notebooks.

My favorite brand is from Tidal, but they (sadly) recently closed their business.

Havianas is always a good alternative, and the OG of flip-flops!

Oh, and honorary mention for thong sandals, aka the ultimate summer shoe!
