Eating in Los Angeles

My post is a day late, but just in time for the weekend! One of my favorite things to do in Los Angeles is to go out to eat. There are tons of great restaurants in the city, and here are five that I love to frequent!

The interior of A-Frame, the food is family style and the seating is communal!

1. A-Frame - This is my go-to place for dinner with my friends. The plates are meant to be shared family style, and pretty much everything on the menu is great. Also, make sure to save room for dessert because you'll want try their Banana Bacon Cream Pie!

2. Picca - I never tried Peruvian food until I moved to Los Angeles, and I've been hooked ever since! This is my new favorite Peruvian restaurant, with a slight Japanese influence. They also have a lounge upstairs, so if the restaurant is crowded you can asked to be seated upstairs where you can order from the full menu and have an eagle eye view of the dining room.

3. BLD - Best brunch in town! There is always a wait on the weekend, so be sure to go early. But if you are like me, and need a snack to tie you over after you've put your name down, take a walk over to Milk a couple blocks away for a pre-brunch treat.

4. Waterloo & City - This is my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles. Located next to A-Frame, this British Gastropub serves comfort food and delicious cocktails. In my opinion, it's the perfect meal. (They also have a killer prices during happy hour and late night.)

5. Spice Table - If you are an adventurous eater, I'd suggest Spice Table located in Downtown/Little Tokyo. This place is influenced by the traditional cuisines of Singapore and Vietnam, and the menu includes curries, satays of all sorts, headcheese and other more exotic eats.

Beyoncé brings the retro glamour

It's no secret that we're major fans of Beyoncé. I mean, how can you not be? We never get tired of this video for "Why Don't You Love Me" from her 2010 album I Am Sasha Fierce. Beyoncé is an expert at channeling show stopping retro glamour. This lady is equal parts sex appeal, smarts and supreme talent. See for yourself.

Corey Lynn Calter & Seychelles.

We were honored and excited to be a part of Corey Lynn Calter's Fall/Winter 2012 collection presentation during NYFW yesterday. 

As you can in the images above, her inspiration was color and light and what a style spectacle the show proved to be. We wish we could have been there in person but our shoes were and we think they look amazing styled with her looks. What do you think?

Seychelles Style Files

Spotted around the office: Seychelles shoe designer Miranda and PR Director Elaine, stepping out in our Theory boots. These beauties are so popular around the office. They're so versatile, you'll love them no matter what your personal style is. Go vintage romantic in a lace dress or streamlined in a polka dot blouse and black skinnies, you can't go wrong.

Marigold meets Navy.

Inspired by our new MIXED EMOTIONS mid heels in marigold/navy polka dot, this outfit represents Spring.

To us, what better way to throw off the Winter blues than to embrace the season change with a couple new closet additions.

Ode to Seafoam.

Our TRIP THE LIGHT FANTASTIC vintage inspired mid heels are back and to celebrate we styled a look!!

Seafoam is an easy and fun color to pair with. Another great thing about this style, is it's versatility. Throw on some tights or knee highs or wear it open like a sandal; it's a great choice to have in your closet.

Behind the Scenes with Seychelles

We took some time out with Miranda Selwyn, Seychelles shoe designer, to hit up her favorite hidden Los Angeles shopping gem, Shareen Vintage. In the outskirts of downtown LA, you'll stumble upon a warehouse full of vintage clothing and accessories. Shop owner Shareen and her team of ladies are experts on vintage fashion and provide an expertly curated selection. Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dig in, though, because this place is filled to the brim with treasures. You'll be sure to find what you're looking for, and most likely leave with some things you never even knew you wanted, but now can't imagine living without! Here are Miranda's top picks.
