"Change your look, not your sole"

Switchflops 2Switchflops 1
Switchflops

by Lindsay Phillips

Who would have known that a high school art project would inspire a line of functional, fashionable footwear? After creating a pair of ceramic flip flops and receiving an enthusiastic response, Switchflops creator Lindsay Phillips began to toy with the idea of manufacturing real footwear - with an artistic influence.

Switchflops allow you to create dozens of different looks, all with one pair of sandals. The key is Switchflops' collection of Velcro-backed straps, which are available in various colors and patterns, and are complemented by a distinctive button. The sandals themselves are available in black, brown, and tan, in both flat and wedge styles. Spring is upon us - schedule your pedicure and come on into The Dandelion Patch to pick up your new Switchflops today!

 Confessions of a Customer


"Oh my gosh, that's so cute!
Where did you get that?"
Happeez white board

If you're Christi Novak, the answer is probably The Dandelion Patch. A lawyer, mother of two, and regular customer since 2005, Christi visits our Reston Town Center location when she's in search of unique gifts for her friends and family.

Recently, Christi's best childhood friend moved into a new house, so housewarming gifts for the whole family were in order. "What's amazing is that I can find gifts for everyone in the family - a 70-year-old woman and her golf-loving husband, all the way down to an eleven-year-old son," says Christi. She's particularly fond of Mariposa's line of pewter serving pieces, as well as Mayfair Lane's 'Happeez' line of stainless steel-friendly fridge clips, note pads, and message boards. Christi is always appreciative of the guidance and assistance she receives when buying gifts at The Dandelion Patch. "You offer amazing customer service, and help me find gifts for everyone on my shopping list," she says.

Besides gifts, Christi counts on The Dandelion Patch for "just about anything made from paper" - from printed address labels and personalized stationery to her annual Christmas cards. Christi has turned many of her officemates onto The Dandelion Patch - we hope you'll spread the word, too!
