Fondly we remember the days of the free Havaianas flip flops at Fashion Week, and with bated breath we await the coming of the Gap x Havaianas pop up shop next Wednesday, April 30. Due to bloom in the tiny space next to the Fifth Avenue Gap flaghip, the Havaianas dealy will focus on customizing your own pairs.

Considering that Havs usually run about $18-$20 and these will be pierced with your choice of rhinestones and doo-dads, we imagine that tourists will easily drop some dollars during its three month reign. For us, however, the pop up comes a little late. This Saturday tempts with temps in the high 70s, and so we've already got our thongs dusted off and lined up.
