Music Tuesday - Gotye.

 

GOTYE's releasing his third studio album Making Mirrors to much excitement and anticipation. According to BUST magazine's Eliza C. Thompson, "it's filled with percussion-driven songs in a wide range of compositional styles. Recorded in a barn down under in remote Australia, Belgian multi-instrumentalist Wouter "Wally" De Backer creates an intricate, expansive sound on what's sure to be a breakout album."

Accompanied above by New Zealand's own Kimbra in his new single, Somebody That I Used to Know,  Gotye melodically blends the line between music and artistry. We dig, what do you think?

We thought this was so clever we had to share. 

You know you've all discussed this at some point with your girlfriends and we can all list a bunch of examples of how this proves true, SO... enjoy. Laugh over it, name names, who fits into what category and praise the wit of Cape Cod Collegiate who either created or discovered it and passed it along on her Tumblr. 

Hysterical. We dig.

Want List.

Everyone has a want list and we're no exception. In our blog travels, we stumbled upon a really cool blog (via Emma Dime) called Vineet Kaur and well to say it plainly, we dig. 

There are so many cool things featured, our list could have gone on and on. Here's the condensed version plus our amazing smoking slippers because we want those too!!

1. Modernist book . 2. Quote Mittens . 3. Pocket Boxes . 4. Geometric rug . 5. BC Steeplechase flats

Q & A.

We love Friends of Type and look forward to our weekly check-ins to see what their amazing artists have come up with.

From the desk of Jordan

Jordan was born and raised in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, and spent her childhood collecting shells and drawing. As an illustrator, Jordan's interests primarily concern geometric patterns, autumn, hand lettering and, of course, cute boys. You can see more of Jordan's work right here.

Twenty Seven Names.

Twenty Seven Names is an awesome indie label hailing from New Zealand. We thought their look book photos were clever and definitely worthy of a plug. 

How cool is this idea? We dig it. Check out their collections here.

Cheers to a Night Well Spent.

Fashion's Night Out was a huge success and we're so glad we got to be a part of it! As you know, we took to the streets and brought the party to the people. We met so many lovely ladies (and gents for that matter), we never would have had the chance to otherwise.


If you came out and partied with us last night we want to hear from you!! Send us pics of you with our hats girls, just our hat girls, street shots etc. and get connected!!


A few parting questions: (not multiple choice)


What do you think of our funky shoe hats?
How did you celebrate FNO? 
What event or shopping experience during FNO was your favorite?


Details people, details. 

Fashion's Night Out - BC Footwear style.

We have waited long enough, we're pulling the curtain back on the details for our event in NYC at Fashion's Night Out!!

Yes it’s happening. BC Footwear will be hitting the streets (literally) for Fashion’s Night Out in a theatrical procession around Soho. The illustrious Candis Cayne will lead a line of models wearing “Philip Treacy” inspired hats created entirely out of our latest “must-have” shoe styles.

What’s in it for you? Because one can never have too many shoes, we will be offering New York’s most fashion-forward crowd discount cards for bcfootwear.com and many photo opportunities to click and share with us on Facebook and Twitter. It will be a must see spectacle!

Don’t let the fun stop there. Please check in with us on Twitter @bcshoes to get updates on where you can find the procession during the evening. We’re excited to meet you!

Mix & Match.

The best addition to any closet, is one that can be versatile. Wear it with denim, wear it with a dress, wear it with that dress, go to work, go out to dinner (ok you get it). The point is everyone needs options and every purchase should be a mix and match situation.

Happy Longgggg weekend everyone!! Be safe, have fun and take pictures to share.
