If you follow me on instagram stories or snapchat (lakeshorelady), you may have already seen this beauty, but… I want you all to meet my BEAUTIFUL NEW HP COMPUTER. Swoooon.
Really though, isn’t she a beauty?! I’ve been a Mac girl for a while, but there are definitely some benefits to adding this one to the mix. First of all, it’s SO PRETTY! It’s such a bright classic red that I get excited every time I see it… which is good because usually seeing a computer means there’s lots of work to do!
And second of all, the screen is HUGE and SO vibrant. I haven’t had a screen this big in years, so it’s really fun to have one back in my life. There’s also a ton of storage (2 TB!), so I plan on making this my designated photo-editing computer from now on. I’ve already installed Lightroom on there, my photos are synced between the two computers and I am good to GO!
Also, I don’t have a tv in my bedroom so this screen could become my new solution to those “I just wanna watch movies in bed” situations. Yeah, I’m calling that one already 😉
More seriously, it’s actually really nice for me to have a second computer, since I juggle so many things. Having all of my work on one device is really overwhelming, and I regularly have to force myself to stop doing work just so I can clear my desktop and organize my folders (oof, it’s true). Now that I have two devices, I’m really going to focus on organizing everything effectively – and working on those big image/video files on a computer that can really handle it! Woo!
Also, isn’t this the perfect dress?! I love that I could wear it to the office, but it’s also great for those days when I’m working from home with meetings throughout my schedule. I also already know I’ll wear it with tights and boots when it gets cold out. Which I hope is never. Sigh.
Even the keyboard is red! And it matches my nails! It’s the little things, guys <3
Almost as cute as a purse… except sliiightly more functional. Let’s just call it my new favorite accessory, shall we?
Big thanks to Ali B Photography for snapping these photos for me!!

so cute Lauren! Looks like you have a nice bright workspace!
Oh my goodness; I LOVE the red color of this laptop! I have actually been considering getting a second, lighter computer for a while — my current mac is SO heavy. Love this option!! 🙂
