It’s coffee break time, and it’s also…snack time! How about not feeling guilty about that bag of peanut M&M’s? What if you could leverage all the time sitting down at your desk to actually… work out? Yup, work out…
I stumbled upon the Instride body cycle on Joyus,com, and loved the concept right away! For those of us who are struggling with fitting in any fitness at all in their days, the Instride cycle allows you to get your cardio on right at your desk! You can literally turn your desk into a spin studio, right as you’re putting the last spin on that quarterly report…
It’s $90 on Joyus, and while you’re at it, check out the below Joyus video on the Instride body cycle:
Our lunch break fashion pick today is this Paro print cream printed silk front top from Reiss. Loving this elegant take on the basic tee, with the luxe silk front and lightweight jersey back.
The modern sketch print on the front gives this top a contemporary yet classic edge, while the silk-trimmed round neckline and sleeves amp up the oomph factor.
I would pair it with an elegant pair of slacks or pencil skirt. This top would be perfect worn alone during the sweltering summer months, or layered under a basic blazer or cardigan. It’s $102 at Reiss!
Psst..Reiss is having an up to 50% sale on select items!

Happy Tuesday! So your vacation is finally approaching, and before you know it, it’ll be here…You can smell it already, the salty water smell, the sand in between your toes…heaven! Well, until you look back down at your crowded desk and realize there is still work to do…
In this day and age where 59% of Americans fail to take time off, taking vacation is sometimes more of a challenge than an actual opportunity to…relax and recharge your batteries. Professional guilt now plagues us more than ever before, what with the unstable economy and corporate lack of diversity. So what is one to do to get work-ready for vacation:
1. Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize! Have a conversation with your team or management to set expectations and deadlines prior to your taking vacation. Prioritize those tasks whose deadlines are critical or fast approaching. Most importantly, resist the temptation to try and finish all your work before leaving on vacation, thus creating stress and inefficiencies. Besides, you’ll be surprised to know it’ll still be there when you get back…
2. Delegate! Remember you can’t do it all now, and you probably won’t be able to do it all later. Delegate important tasks in your absence, or at least portions of it. Allow your team to show initiative by helping you, and free up your plate a bit…
3. Yes, you may check your email: We live in a constantly connected world, where disconnecting completely is close to impossible. For those of us who are realistic about our own expectations, it may make sense to allow for some flexibility when it comes to being connected. I’d rather be able to check my email once every now and then while on vacation, rather than obsessing over what may (or may not) have happened.
For our coffee break today, we are into office accessories! Love, love this standing paper clip from Pottery Barn, useful to store photos, notes and memos! Great for your office at work or your office at home, this fun and original sculpture keeps your desk organized and a bit funky!
As a notes and business card collector, I could use this standing clip to keep me on point organization-, and style-wise! This unique piece is available at Pottery Barn for $49.90, and is our funky decorating pick of the day!
