Sticker Contest!

Find Our Sticker, Win Free Swag!

In honor of the US Surf Open this week in Huntington Beach, we have created a contest just for you guys coming by catch some rays and watch the competition!  It's super easy and anyone can participate. 

We have colored 10 of our Groove peace sign stickers and placed them all around Main Street in Huntington Beach!  All you have to do is look for them, and when you find one Instagram it.  Be sure to tag us @groovefootwear and you'll be entered in to win a swag bag (with a $25 gift card!).  

There will be 3 winners each day...one wins the bag/gift card, and the others win rad Groove swag!

Contest runs from Tuesday, July 29th - Thursday, July 31st

Find the Golden Sticker!


Now that we know what the Groove peace sign sticker looks like, and where they are, lets step it up a notch!  Consider this the 'finals' (if you will) for the sticker competition.  We have one golden sticker hidden somewhere in Huntington Beach, but only 1!  

Whoever finds the golden sticker FIRST, and Instagrams it for us, wins a loaded swag bag filled with a Forever21 gift card, wayfarer sunglasses, and more!

Look for the Groove Girls decked out in our Groove Swag!
It's that time again...the Surf Open is finally here! I like to consider it the official kickoff to summer down here in Huntington Beach.  For one week, surfers and fans take over the beach (maybe you heard a little bit about it last year...does the word 'riot' ring any bells?).  A little bit has changed since last year, so I have found an event map for you guys, and for those who have never been!

All Of The Brands Name-Dropped On Sex And The City


All Of The Brands Name-Dropped On Sex And The City



As Pierre Buttin sat beside his girlfriend on the couch each night and endured 30 minutes of cringe-worthy puns, he couldn’t help but wonder, “What brands were mentioned the most on Sex and the City?” (Or, so we surmise.) The multimedia artist pored through the show’s six seasons and cataloged all instances of brand-name-dropping, which he put together in this clip. And, he compiled the mentions in alphabetical order. What a Charlotte! 

According to the description, “[T]here are 324 different brands and 838 total occurrences.” Vogue leads the list, uttered on 36 occasions, closely followed by martini (34 times). Yankees (26 times), Knicks (25), and The New York Times (24) earned spots, and a smattering of designer labels rounds out the top 10: Manolo Blahnik (16), Dolce & Gabbana (15), Prada and Post-it (14 for both the fashion house and everybody’s preferred sticky notes), Chanel (13), and Gucci (12). Odd that cosmos didn’t rank; however, this isn’t an exact science. (British Vogue

Most Adorable Video!

Most Adorable Video EVER!


I just had to share this!  I mean...you just know it's going to be an adorable video because it involves a baby and a dog!

This dog gets confused and thinks the baby's new toy is his new toy.  When he takes it, the baby starts to cry, and he feels so bad he brings her all of his toys!  Cuteness overload!
