the friday edit

This has sort of felt like the week that would never end. My motivation is severely lacking and I’m really struggling to figure out why. Ordinarily, I bounce out of bed right at 7 am, but lately I’m dragging. I barely get to the studio by 9 or 10, which is weird for me. And I seem to hit a wall every afternoon around the same time when all I can think about is stretching out to take a quick nap. Even right now, as I write this I’m eying the floor pillows in the studio (the same ones the dogs use as beds). Sigh.

Some good reads this week:

My 5 fashion essentials for 2017.
