At the Office: Desktop Delights

Love it or hate it, we all spend a huge majority of our lives at our desks, surely we should be making all of the time spent there as enjoyable as possible? A stylish desk, filled with things to inspire and help you through your working day is essential. I think a monochrome colour palette is the best place to start - its simple, chic and clean. You can add accents of a bright colour pop as your mood and the seasons change quickly, and relatively cheaply.

A quick look through any fashionistas desk will reveal just as much as what she carries in her bag; these are the day-to-day gospel products which can are consistently reliable. The iPhone (complete with a chic Marc by Marc Jacobs shell £30) used to coordinate the days schedule and tasks to uploading your latest instagram picture. A beautiful bunch of flowers, a statement-making and well-placed lamp  (like this £60 one from Zara Home) and Jo Malone (a favourite is the Pine & Eucaluptus £45) diffuser all help make the place a little more pleasant to whittle away the hours. A Diptyuque candle always helps to relax the atmosphere and soothe square-computer eyes. 

Use a pretty photo frame (Zara Home offer an amazing selection for around £20) with one of your favourite snaps to keep you focused. Whether you're consuming the caffeine like your life depends on it, or enjoying a soothing tea blend - its always nicer to indulge from a chic cup with matching saucer, I love this printed one from Zara Home. Eve Lom Kiss Mix Lip Balm (£16) is great to add a touch of moisture to lack-lustre lips throughout the day, and I love to thrown on a slick of red lipstick too inject some colour for late afternoon pick-me-ups, and of course post-work drinks! Yves Saint Laurent Rogue Pur Couture in the original Le Rogue is always a winner. I love this perspex chair, I'm not sure how they are, but they are just as comfortable as they are stylish! Last but certainly not least, a paper diary, notebook or jotter with a tongue in-cheek title from Smythson or in a cool print from Zara Home (£25.99) are always found on the chicest of desks. Is chicest a word? It is now.. rachelle xo
