la femme du jour

Frida Kahlo is an iconoclast known for abandoning traditional expectations and forging her own path. Never a wallflower, Frida's wardrobe matched her personality with bold colors and outrageous accessories that pay homage to her culture and heritage. Frida continues to make her mark on the fashion world today, as we've seen in this crop of photo shoots inspired by the unforgettable artist.

trend spotting: flared denim

Some of us around the office live in and love our wide leg jeans, others of us are just getting around to rocking the new looks we've been admiring around the blog world. Either way, it's time to give your skinnies a break and branch out. Plus, what better way to complement your favorite Seychelles wedges and wood-bottomed platforms?

Born This Way.

We at Seychelles love vintage. After watching the Royal Wedding, one could say Kate Middleton had her sights set on princess icons from the past as well.

One in particular was Grace Kelly, the American-born, Hollywood starlet turned Princess of Monaco in the 1950's.  Do you see the similarities??

Regardless of her inspiration; Kate, Princess Catherine looked amazing, perfectly regal, and like she was born for this eventuality.

Congratulations Wills & Kate!!

Music is...?

What is music? This is an open-ended question that every person in the world would probably have a different answer to. Music gives us the opportunity to listen, feel and interpret sound. What a concept!

For me, it is everything really. A perfect addition to any space or time and a poetic reminder of life’s struggles and triumphs.

The photo below is so amazing because to us it represents what music would look like if we could actually see the notes and melodies go up into the air and land on everything in its circumference.

What does music mean to you?

What Would Kate Wear?

(Source: theenglishmuse.blogspot.com)

We are really excited about the upcoming royal nuptials and figured if we were able to dress Kate in Seychelles on her big day, which ones would be appropriate??

Part of the draw of this union is it's a modern fairytale and Kate is an every day girl who definitely will bring a new perspective to the monarchy. 

Cheers to a great party on Friday. All hail Seychelles.

À la mode: Seychelles look of the week

If your not already a fan of the beautiful Laura Veirs, you may become one now...

For Your Love

Hannah at The Loved One never ceases to blow us away with her talent and vision. We were so excited when we heard she was making the very first video lookbook for The Loved One, and of course it is every bit as adorable as we expected it to be. (look for a special cameo by some amazing Seychelles spring shoes!)

Fridays featured blog: The Snail and the Cyclops

We just love The Snail and the Cyclops and her amazing vintage finds and adorable hat collection!  Just browsing her dreamy photos gets us excited for warm weather and springtime. Her etsy shop and tumblr are worth taking a looksie at too!

A Cut Above.

We discovered these amazing paper cut art pieces and felt compelled to share.

Who is Elsa Mora? She tells her story best on her personal blog Elsita. Her mantra is simple, let your imagination wander.

If you fall in love, (like we did) shop her Etsy store where she sells her wares and shows off not only these paper cut projects but also jewelry, drawings, paintings and ceramics.

la musique!

We were lucky enough to stumble upon local LA band He's My Brother She's My Sister at the Echo when they were opening for another band we love, Everest. Such amazing energy! Such flawless style! And a live tap dancer! This was definitely one of the most engaging and fun live shows we've seen in a long time. Highly recommend taking a listen and if you live in LA or are lucky enough to catch them live, don't miss it!
