Everything here is available at Mod Cloth and if we truly only featured our favorites, this set would be endless.

Holly-day Gift Guide

The holidays are coming up, and I must say that this is my favorite time of the year! Everyone loves to receive gifts, but I really take pleasure in gift giving.

We're making our wishlists for the holiday season, are you? What are you coveting, what are you hoping to find under the tree?

Every Fall Day

I've been loving the change in the weather in Los Angeles! The chilly weather finally has arrived, so I've been pulling out my sweaters and boots the past few weeks. I asked my friend Melissa to help me style the EACH AND EVERY DAY boot that I've been loving lately. She has a more classic sense of style than me and always puts together great looks.

LOOK 1: Silence + Noise Blazer, Black Lace Dress / LOOK 2: d.RA Sweater, Paige Black Skinny Jeans

We had fun taking these polaroids around town for this post! I love her first look because it goes so well from day to night. The blazer dresses it up for work, and the dress keeps it feminine for a night out with friends. And her second look is just so comfy and easy going for fall! You can wear that outfit anytime, whether it's grabbing coffee or running errands.

How would you pair these boots?

Mix & Match.

EACH & EVERYDAY boots . beret . chevron sweater . swirl dress . studded jeans . BRAINSTORM boots

Choose one or choose them all and mix and match. It's Winter, time for layers and fun combinations. Get stylin'.

Black, White & Gold all over.

Black, white and gold are a regal combo and we're stoked about featuring it for this style out of our CAN'T STAND THE HEAT booties. A little suede and brocade never hurt anyone, right?

MAYA STAR and Seychelles event - AUSTIN.

Here are some snap shots from our event with Maya Star and Joanna of KEEP AUSTIN STYLISH. It was so much fun and if we didn't see you, we hope to next time!

It's Autumn and as the weather (slowly in some parts) changes over to brisk, Fall days the need for boots or booties becomes a must. We found ourselves a bit overwhelmed with which ones to choose, so we lined em' up to get a better view. 

What do you think? Which style(s) screams must own to you?

In Mulberry we trust.

MULBERRY by seychellesshoes 

Our MULBERRY booties are one of our favorite styles from Fall 2012 and so we couldn't resist the urge to style them out and share it with you.

What do you think? How would you rock these?

Homemade.

Fall brings about a bit of a nesting vibe. The weather turns, it gets darker sooner, closets switch over and people want to eat a bit more heartily. Living true to this; we were searching around Pinterest for some deliciousness to try our hand at and stumbled upon this amazing new recipe collective called TASTESPOTTING. 

In short, it's a foodie's paradise. As always, the creators state it best with, "Think of TasteSpotting as a highly visual potluck of recipes, references, experiences, stories, articles, products, and anything else that inspires exquisite taste." 

We're in.

Nutella Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

Nutella makes the world go round. Fact. 

Now that this has been established, we are drooling at even the mention of this rich sugary recipe for Nutella rolls with cream cheese frosting. We're not sure if we should be condemning our friends at Ruche for unleashing Pandora's wrath on us, or establishing that we are now forever indebted to them for the introduction. In either case, we can't wait to time how quickly it will take to consume every succulent drop of sugary goodness, and then attempt at beating the score when we do it all over again.  

Ingredients:

Rolls:
2 cans Pillsbury Grands Biscuits
2 cups Nutella
Flour and Sugar for rolling

Cream Cheese Icing:
4oz Cream Cheese (softened)
1 tsp Vanilla
1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar

Makes 16 rolls, Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Directions:

1. Lightly cover your surface with flour and sugar, then roll each biscuit out until it is flat and double in its original size.

2. Spread the Nutella on the flattened biscuits until they are completely covered.  The more Nutella, the better!

3. Roll up the flattened biscuits and cut them into three pieces.

4. Place the three cut pieces into the cupcake liners.

5. Bake for about 15 mins.  After they are done in the oven let them cool for about 5 mins before putting the icing on.

Health and Fitness: Portion Control

You get together with your girlfriends for brunch on Sunday and talk politics, men and weight. We can almost guarantee that happens regularly. Each girl takes a turn to wallow/celebrate and once everyone has taken a stand on the podium, they band together to discuss how/what/why this happened and how to fix it. 

When it comes to weight loss, one of the biggest hardships for both men and women to get over is the ability to monitor what and how much they eat. Dieting and working out come hand-in-hand. Being able to measure out the correct proportions for your respective body type is imperative to getting closer to that body that you've always wanted. We found this great visual for the perfect proportions from Lauren Conrads blog the other day and wanted to share it with you. What do you think?  Does this help? We'd love to hear from you.

Recipe Idea: Pink Marshmallow Bouquet on Polka Dot Paper Straws

Have you ever wondered what a pinch of heaven may taste like? Okay so that's a little over the top, but we have a point we swear. We saw this recipe for a pink marshmallow bouquet on polka dot straws and felt like we were already floating in the clouds and hadn't even taken a bite of it yet. Please somebody try this immediately and send us a shot on Instagram or Twitter @SeychellesShoes. We promise to do the same.

Ingredients:

These Marshmallow Pops took under twenty minutes to make from start to finish and they turned out adorable! All you will need are: marshmallows, white chocolate, sprinkles (crushed graham cracker, coconut, etc.), popsicle sticks or paper straws and food coloring.

Note: Buy paper straws online on Amazon and specialty baking and crafting stores. Also try Bakeitpretty.com.

1. First cut a small slit in the top of the marshmallows to allow you to insert your straw. If you skip this step you just might mash your marshmallows!

2. Insert the straws or popsicle sticks and put them in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes. They do not take long to freeze and by doing this, the marshmallow is adhered more securely to the straw.

3. Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in the microwave on medium heat and stir every 30 seconds. White chocolate seems to burn a lot easier than regular chocolate so watch it closely! Add your food coloring if desired.

4. Next up is the fun part: decorating! Dip the frozen marshmallows in the white chocolate. You will want to tap the excess white chocolate off. The frozen marshmallow will make the chocolate harden quickly so don’t wait too long before dipping them into the sprinkles.
