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?

In the Kitchen with Seychelles

Spring is gradually peeking it's head out and that means soon we'll have a bounty of fresh spring fruits and veggies. However, we're going to miss the comfort of our winter root vegetables and so we're paying homage to one of our favorite seasonal veggies, beets. We can't get enough of this quick and easy beet soup recipe. The best part? It's even better the next day, so it's great for making a giant pot and saving for leftovers!

What You'll Need:

2 beets, diced into small cubes

1 medium onion, small dice

2 carrots, small dice

2 new potatoes, small dice

1/4 head of cabbage, chopped thin and small

1 clove of garlic, pressed or chopped

2 diced tomatoes (canned tomatoes will work fine, too)

Vegetable broth or Bouillon cube

Sour Cream (optional)

Sautée onion on medium until soft, add garlic and the remainder of the vegetables (except for the tomato) and sauté about 5 minutes, stirring to keep from burning.

Add tomatoes and enough vegetable broth to cover the vegetables, plus a few inches.

Simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.

Check potato and beet for softness. When veggies are ready add salt to taste. Taste it!! Beets will get sweeter if cooked a little longer so you can let it cook 10 minutes and check the taste again.

Remove from heat and serve with sour cream if you like it or want pink soup. Bon Appétit!

(We prefer to use red beets because they are a bit sweeter and who can resist a rich, red soup! But in a pinch we've used golden beets and they are tasty as well.)

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??

looks we love: denim jackets

Here in California, we don't often have to worry about heavy winter coats, but we always turn to a lightweight denim jacket as an essential fall and winter layering option. As you can see, all the girls in our office are fans of this look and there are so many ways to wear it: pair it with a vintage skirt, bright colored leggings, or a basic black and white ensemble. The possibilities are endless and you just can't go wrong. What's your favorite way to wear a denim jacket?

Ode to Burgundy.

We're definitely in a festive mood as of late and to help continue that along, we decided to build a look featuring one of our "in love with at the moment" colors, Burgundy. 

To be specfic, Burgundy is a rich, blue under-toned red, works back with everything and is the perfect color to sustain you through the dreary weather months of Winter. Don't you agree?

What helps keep you in the holiday spirit?
