Originating from Brazil, Ipanema is now available in more than 90 countries all over the world and exclusively sold in Royal Sporting House (RSH) stores across Singapore. RSH recently contacted me for a review of Ipanema's latest sandal collection, Ritmos II, and offered to send me two pairs of sandals (one for me and a matching one for my baby girl).
Mother-daughter matchy-matchy sandals? I was totally on board right away! (You know how I love me to dress her like a mini-me. I mean, that's the whole point of having daughters isn't it? *laughs*)

When the package finally arrived, both baby girl and I were excited to try them out! Baby girl was surprisingly more excited than mummy.. I suppose women's love for shoes is innate? Poor daddy (literally).. *laughs*

Mine fits like glove. Baby girl's on the other hand was still a little too big for her so she'll just have to wait till her feet grows a little larger to really walk well in it.
Nevertheless, it did not stop us from wearing it to IMM's water playground, one of our favourite places to go.

As Ipanema is inspired by the beach, its sandals have been created to withstand dirt, water and wear so it's perfect for water activities.

The waterproof nature of the sandal is my favourite part about it. Sure, it is comfortable, fashionable and very pretty but I still like the fact that it dries up as quickly as it got wet so that my feet would not have to walk in soggy footwear for the rest of the day.
You don't find this 'drying speed' in other kinds of footwear, not even my absolute favourite kind. With the rainy season upon us these days, this is an absolutely vital quality to have!
And in this new year, with the sun coming up again it's all the more important to gear yourself with footwear that would not suffocate your feet and feel as good as it looks.
And here's the best part!
