It's been a pretty long week for me, so I thought I'd post about some of my essentials for getting me through just about anything. First there's my MacBook Air computer (because what's better than Apple?). When I need to de-stress I tend to gravitate towards Pinterest or working on my blog. Then there's Love Style Life by Garance Dore, which is one of my favorite books. Dore is a fashion illustrator who writes about her career and adjustment when she moves from Paris to New York City. Finally, there's my journal. Writing is one of my favorite ways to express myself, and to de-brief on what's going on in my life. It helps me out immensely to write about different things that happen and then go back and be able to look at perspectives you've had.
