Tom & James

James is wearing gray lace-up sneakers, an exceptionally popular pair of shoes this summer. Many of the stylish individuals spotted by Chicago Style Scene have been photographed wearing Keds-style shoes.

Emily & Sam – Cross-Body Purses

Both Emily and Sam are carrying brown leather cross-body purses. I usually wear a cross-body purse because I like the security of not needing to worry about misplacing it at a store. I also love how the design frees up my hands. Cross-body bags are certainly a prevalent summer trend here in Chicago, and one I hope is here to stay.

This is a photo taken earlier in the summer of a woman walking down Halsted Street with a cross-body purse:

Alli – Lollapalooza Street Style

I love the simplicity of a little black dress and red handbag paired with an expectation-defying tattooed chest piece. There is nothing more enigmatic than a gorgeous woman with visible tattoos.
