a room with a view.

A few months ago my husband and I decided not to renew our lease.  We have called our little studio home for nearly three years now.  It was our first apartment together, my first apartment in Chicago, the place where we went from boyfriend and girlfriend to husband and wife.

I'm sad to be leaving our building and neighborhood, but I'm unbelievably excited for the next stage in our lives.  We won't pick our new place for another two months, so for now I'll enjoy this view a little while longer.

This is always such a difficult time of year for my mind and wallet.  It’s hot and humid outside but upstairs, in my head, all I can think about are coats and boots.  Fall lines are on display in full force and I spend more time than I’d care to admit window shopping the internet and imagining how I’ll wear this year’s newest trends.  

As always, I’ve had no trouble making a wishlist, but this year, more than others before, I’ve found shoes to be at the top.  

Here are a few pairs I’m hoping will be gracing my feet this fall:

 J. Crew Cece flats

 J.Crew Martina wedges

 Call it Spring Belieu boots

Sam Edelmen Salina booties (my number one must-have)

just you know why.

Welcome to True Love Ways!  Two weeks ago I married the ginger of my dreams and I thought now is the perfect time to start a new blog.  Here I'll document my life as a newlywed living in Chicago and things that make my heart for pitter-patter.
