je t'aime la musique: Adanowsky

Adan Jodorowsky, working under the moniker Adanowsky, is a French/Chilean musician who recently caught our attention and we think you'll love his sound as much as we do. He's the son of visionary filmmaker Jodorowsky, so it's no surprise that talent runs in the family. Says T Magazine, "It wasn’t until he left his native Paris for Chile and translated his lyrics from French to Spanish that he and his career started to go places. Lately, he splits his time between Mexico City, Los Angeles, Paris and anywhere the tour for his melancholy new album, 'Amador,' takes him." Recently Adanowsky found a kindred spirit in Devendra Banhart, and the two collaborated on a song and music video.

Listen to the magical sounds of Adonowsky & Devendra Banhart

Winter Wear.

Just because Winter is approaching or already here to stay, doesn't mean you have to shy away from a soft color palette. The key is to dress in layers. 

Our PRIME SUPSECT wedge booties reign perfection with the rest of this ensemble. The look is dressy casual yet it's all in the interpretation.

Happy Friday!

Time Travelling with Beyoncè

This unbelievably fun and clever new video for Beyoncè's Countdown" caught our eye and we just can't get enough of it.

How many references did you catch? And which of Beyoncè's looks is your favorite?

je t'aime la musique: Florence and The Machine

Sometimes when you love an artist's first album so much, it's a little nerve-wracking when you hear they are coming up with a follow up release. Can they possibly re-create, or better yet, top the brilliance of the first album? In the case of Florence & the Machine, we're happy to report that her new album Ceremonials, is every bit as passionate, dark, beautiful and intense as her debut album. Full of her characteristic soul baring anthems, blended with ethereal, other worldly vocals, we promise this one won't disappoint.

Ceremonials is officially released next Tuesday, but if you're like us and you just can't wait you can stream the full album right here.

Five Days, Five Looks, One Shoe: WHODUNIT?

When I first laid eyes on the WHODUNIT? Heels I knew I had to have them. The glittery gold heels are clearly perfect for a night out or a fantastic holiday party, but I wanted to find ways to incorporate it into my every day wardrobe. I paired it with five different outfits for five different days. Which look is your favorite?

DAY 1 - A simple yet comfortable outfit that I wore to the office. A little gold brightened up the entire look!

DAY 2 - I love playing with textures, so I paired the shoes with a silk jewel toned shirt and textured mini skirt. A little shimmer to help me get through the work day.

DAY 3 - Prep meets glitter!

DAY 4 - The heels acted as the neutral in the oufit when pairing it with a bright colored dress.

DAY 5 - A late night at work is made so much more fun with the contrast between my WHODUNIT? Heels and a fun patterned skirt. 

Seychelles & Dear Creatures make a splash at LA Fashion Week

Last Saturday night, Gen Art's Fresh Faces in Fashion closed out LA Fashion Week to a standing room only crowd of over 800 people. Beloved clothing line Dear Creatures were selected to grace the runway and we were thrilled when they asked to pair our "Carriage" wedge heels with their beautiful looks. We have been longtime fans of Dear Creatures and we hope this is the first in a series of partnerships.

Way to send LA Fashion Week out in style! Visit our web store to get your own pair of "Carriage" wedge heels.

Color Blocking.

We love the color blocking trend and are so happy it continues to stick around season after season!

By definition, it means solid colors paired together and we think this dress and our amazing new TOKYO mod-inspired block heels are perfect examples of it.

What colors do you love to pair together? What works and what doesn't?

je t'aime la musique: Beirut

We've had a musical crush on Zach Condon of Beirut since he was an 18 year old kid recording Gulag Orkestar in his mom's basement in New Mexico. And his newest release, The Rip Tide, has absolutely sent us over the moon. Known for his lyrics which weave imaginary tales of strangers lives, on The Rip Tide Condon took a huge departure, and a huge risk, by turning his focus inward. This is a collection of his most personal songs to date, accompanied by his characteristic old-world folk instrumentation. If you haven't already fallen madly in love with Beirut, this album will seal the deal.

Style Icon: Jean Barthet

French milliner Jean Barthet rose to the height of fashion in the 1950s and 1960s as the go-to source for innovative accessories. Designing in the traditional manner of great French hat makers, Barthet embellished his creations with trimmings that reflected his own style and imagination, including velvet ribbons and bows. He has dressed the heads of fashion's most iconic women, Brigit Bardot, Catherine Deneuve and Sophia Loren, to name a few. We tip our hats to this style innovator.
