Now that I officially got the memo that summers in Chicago have reduced from about three months to just under two, I thought it was time for a look to fit the big transition…and nothing does that better than leather pants.

Last year, I raved about the loafers that changed my life, this year was all about slip on sneakers but regardless of which flat shoe you prefer…the question still remains, can you wear flats instead of heels for a more dressed up look?
Let’s find out.

I didn’t think I’d have to start talking about Fall until at least September 1, but considering we’ve had only a handful of real summer days here in Chicago…I guess the new season will be here sooner than we think. It seems like just yesterday I was putting on shorts for the first time (which it practically was) and before I knew it — boom — back to pants. I’m not putting away my open toe shoes just yet, though. I have to draw the line somewhere…

From what’s anticipated to be the event of the summer to a new store and even fun Refinery29 story, there’s a lot happening in Chicago right now…and it all thanks to Atelier Azza.
