Recently I remembered how much I love the Sufjan Stevens album Illinois especially the song “Chicago.” Mmm so good.

Also saw the latest J. Crew catalog the other day —Jenna Lyons can do no wrong. The color combinations and mix of patterns/fabrics are amazing. The shoes are also perfect. (If only they weren’t all leather…)

My goal for this year is to do more creative things. So far I’m making very small but worthwhile strides so I feel good about it.
