september inspiration.

LINK LOVE: This post showcasing famous authors' handwritten notes and outlines of their novels. I find these extra inspiring and so cool to look at. My favorite (though I may be a bit biased) is J.K. Rowling's.

This photoessay by James Mollison on where children sleep around the world. Very fascinating and humbling as well.

The Confezioni Crosby S/S 13 collection, featuring gorgeous colors and soft fabrics that almost made me sad summer is ending.

rediscovered // music monday.

i thought i'd mix in this week's music monday with an outfit post. it's a two for one deal! lately i've been loving both this song by the strokes and these shoes from aldo. i'd forgotten about these boots for most of the winter and have just recently started wearing them again. i absolutely love rediscovering old favorites and am looking forward to falling in love with all my summer clothes again. i'm also experimenting with some new layout choices for this post and i think i quite like them. what do you guys think?

what i wore: gap jacket, nordstrom tee and bag, urban outfitters jeans, h&m scarf, aldo booties, spitfire sunglasses.

music monday.

welcome to a new feature on the chicagoenne called music monday! i'm a big fan of music but i also tend to get bored of songs quite quickly. this means that i'm always on the hunt for new tunes. every monday i'll share the song (or songs) i've been obsessed with from the past week. lately i've been loving sonnentanz by klangkarussell. now that the weather is warming up i'm dreaming of spending more time outside, and this song is perfect for that.
