Unusual Work Area

My husband came home yesterday with this beautiful desk. He told me when he first found it, it needed some work so he had it painted a lacquered black which gives it a modern touch. Even though we have a n extra room that we use as a guest bedroom/office I decided to arrange the desk right behind the sofa. Since we're usually on our laptops while we lounge on the couch I thought this would be a perfect space for a work area. Since we might be relocating closer to the city (in order to be closer to our jobs) we'll probably have to move into a smaller space so the size of the desk makes it a transitional piece into our smaller space. Needles to say I'm a happy girl right now.

Working Girl Basics

I was lucky enough to land a job right after graduation, actually I had already been interning and the company I work for decided to keep me permanently. It worked out well, and the fact that it was my dream company to work for was the cherry on top. Shortly after I started working I realized there was a few basic pieces I was missing in my wardrobe. A pencil skirt, pumps, and a small handbag (in hopes of editing everything I tend to carry that I don't really need). All of these pieces in black make them timeless and classic. I use them for work and for weekends. My pencil skirt with a tank-top, the handbag without the strap and the pumps with boyfriend jeans instantly make them "weekend" items.
