1.

“The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. It can follow analysis; but it has no power of anticipating any analytical relations or truths. Its province is to assist us to making available what we are already acquainted with.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

3. Currently halfway through Practice<\/em><\/span><\/a> by Rosalind Brown, a slim paperback that has rekindled my appetite for books. Since college, I’ve volleyed between bouts of reading<\/a><\/span> with absolute ferocity and complete inattention, a dichotomy of extremes ruled by workload and mood. It’s not for lack of wanting, to be clear; this is merely the only area of my life that isn’t ruled by discipline…\u00a0yet. <\/em>Worse, my focus has felt scattered as of late\u2014so I’ve decided to be proactive by creating a personal reading curriculum.<\/p>\n

It’s like I’m back in school again, which is truly thrilling for someone like me.<\/p>\n

4. I can’t stop thinking about this vintage denim Chanel flap bag<\/span><\/a> embroidered with their most iconic perfumes. As a fragrance editor<\/span><\/a> and collector, I’m tickled. As a Jersey girl who grew up believing department stores were the epitome of glamour\u2014particularly the designer perfume counters\u2014I’m enamored. And as a bona fide Chanel beauty devotee<\/a><\/span>, this feels like a\u00a0need<\/em>. Wear your perfume on your sleeves and shoulders, too.<\/p>\n

5. Back to books (but also segueing into more out-of-production objects): I now have a copy of Madonna’s metal-bound book of Sex<\/em><\/span><\/a> in my possession. It was an unexpected acquisition (from des pairs bookstore<\/a> in Echo Park, now closed, unfortunately), but a rare title I simply could not pass up. I’ll thumb through it soon but for now, I’m delighted to have another seminal work in my personal reference library.<\/p>\n
