real-life style & beauty.
C surprised me a few years ago and upgraded my old Macbook Pro with a new gold Macbook. I’m in love with it: besides being oh-so-pretty (gimme all the gold things) it’s super lightweight and compact, which makes hauling it around in my bag a breeze. I always keep my Macbook in a case or sleeve when
