DIY - Spring Flowers.

How amazing are these DIY large tissue flowers?? We found them on Pinterest and are now plotting an attempt at re-creating them ourselves. What a beautiful way to lighten up your house, office or space for Spring!!

Shop Ruche made these for their photo shoot and created this amazing step-by-step tutorial on how to build them DIY-style. 

So go for it, we are and we want pictures when you're finished.

Warmer, warmer.

It's rainy here and what better way to brighten the mood, then to focus on the beautiful and warm colors of Spring. We started with our new MEMORIES OF YOU wedges and easily styled them out with a like-minded palette.

Coral mixed with white reminds us of vacation time; relaxing on the beach somewhere (hopefully) exotic and it's almost that time of year; so where is everyone going for Spring Break??

Snap Goes the Dragon

My go to shoe lately has been the black Snapdragon heels. I've been wearing them with just about everything these days. I paired them with a super casual outfit for work, and then a simple black dress to meet up with some friends. I love that I can wear these shoes with just about any outfit, and the braided ankle strap is something new and unexpected. Definitely the perfect day to night shoe.

Ode to Pansy.

We're a wee bit obsessed with our new PANSY bow flats and couldn't resist the urge to style them out with items we already had pinned onto our Seychelles Style board on Pinterest.

We love Keiko Lynn, (who doesn't) and had the pleasure of venturing out to her home in Brooklyn to interview her on what inspires her, where she shops and why she loves NYC. 

As the old adage says, you can tell a lot about someone by what they wear and what's in their closet. Check out Keiko's below as she stars in our latest installment of the Seychelles Dream Closet series.

Seychelles & Ivana Helsinki.

 
























































































Seychelles teamed up again with Ivana Helsinki for her Fall Winter 2012 collection
presentation held at the Metropolitan during NYFW. Models walked the runway in colorful ensembles paired with our very own THEORY booties.  

Ivana's designs tend to evoke reaction and this season's no different. Check out the video below for great moments from her runway presentation entitled, TAPIOLA KAUNIANEN. 

A Tale of Two Tassels

We love Lulu Letty's skill for mixing thrift finds with great, easy pieces anyone can find online. She says her blog is an excuse to play with clothes and frolic around the countryside and after reading it, we were ready to head out to her hometown of St. Paul too.  Here she is wearing the Valentine's Day "Daytrippers" set from our current collaboration with Melie Bianco. Galentine or valentine, we have a look for you at a seriously sweetheart deal that ends tomorrow. Take a gander!

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. 

What do you think? Where would you want go in this outfit??

Collaboration: Melie Bianco & Seychelles.

Music Friday ~ The Watson Twins.

Happy weekend~

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.
