Brenna's Blind Q & A (Given by Heather Lipner)
Tell us about your dream office vibe.
"No clutter — everything in its rightful place and easy to find when in a mad dash. P-Touched to death. Pretty. Whimsical. Artsy. Comfortable."

What office things have you been looking for and can't find, or are on your wish list?
"A beautiful, yet organized way to store all of my lookbooks and odds and ends — perhaps something similar to one of those wire, ascending deals that you put your folders in, but that's not hideous. I'd love an amazing large calendar that's still easy on the eyes. I currently have an Office Depot rendition stashed beneath my trash can because I just can't bear to look at it. A chalkboard for reminders and pressing issues would be fabulous. Or, maybe a pretty Post-it board? I don't know, just something to slap me in the face with things I shouldn't be forgetting."

Who are your top five favorite designers or artists?
"Ed Ruscha. Baldessari. Dorothea Tanning. Frida Kahlo. Mary Katrantzou (fingers crossed, but I think she's designing my wedding dress!). I'm loving Clover Canyon right now. Elsa Schiaparelli. Miu Miu and Prada always and forever. Proenza. Charlotte Olympia. Kelly Wearstler. Anything whimsical, cheeky, or surrealist."

What's your biggest organizational issue?
"Oh God. Where do I begin? I guess it's just that I'm trying to focus on one thing — namely, writing and editing — and AIMs, Gmails, and phone calls are bombarding me at all hours with ideas, pitches, requests, and mandatory tasks. I have Post-its everywhere, notes all over the place, and sometimes my office feels more like a mental ward! I spend all day Sundays organizing everything into neat little lists and preparing for the week, but it all goes haywire by EOD Monday. I live in organized chaos. I guess that's how I would describe my style, too!"

Do you prefer to write notes on paper or on the computer?
"Paper, always! I loathe Google Docs and Excel sheets with all of my being. My editor calls me 'Analog Egan,' which is hilariously ironic considering the major technological element of what I do every day."
