VIDEO: Raquel x Brazilian Vogue

Savor the last days of summer. My copy of the September 2011 Vogue is in the mail, on its way to me right now, and days are getting shorter. Stores everywhere are merchandising for “Back to School” wardrobe shopping. All the signs are here that autumn is fast approaching. This surfer inspired fashion video featuring Raquel Zimmerman is inspiration for you to truly savor the last days of summer. 

Here are some great ways you can take in the Chicago summer.

Go to the Lake Michigan beach. 

Take a bike ride down the lakefront.

Watch the sunset from a rooftop bar.

Dine outside at your favorite cafe.

Sit in a park and read fashion magazines.
Hit up a street festival or block party in your neighborhood.
Go golfing at the Diversey driving range.
Day trip to Michigan or the Indiana Dunes.

Go for a swim at your nearest public pool (ok, so maybe not this last one). 

My little brother is returning to high school in Arkansas tomorrow as a senior. It’s his last “first day of school.” This summer flew by faster than any other summer in my life. I’m going to do a more in-depth post about this summer tomorrow for you to read while you’re surfing the internet at work. Today you should be outside soaking in the last days of summer, not sitting inside reading my blog!
