Ladies,

Think about how much effort we all put into our weekly wardrobe. There is the nightly planning session, the countless skirt and shirt combos, the endless heel height possibilities, hair up or down, the list goes on. Somehow, we manage to leave our front door every morning feeling stylish, put together, and ready for the day. And then what? We arrive at a drab, colorless office that has absolutely no personality. How is a fabulous soul such as yourself expected to perform under these conditions? Well, as usual, we're here to make sure you're fashionably equipped, even at the office.

Love,
SheFinds

.: Get Organized :.

Cavallini & Co File Folders

Cavallini & Co. File Folders
$15 @ FlaxArt.com

The key to efficiency is organization, so stay on top of your game by getting your desk in order. As easy as it is to fall victim to the "throw it on the pile" syndrome, that system almost guarantees you'll lose an urgent document among the shuffle.

So, first things first, files should be kept in file folders and, believe it or not, there are actually more exciting options than humdrum manila. Take these refreshingly creative versions by Cavallini & Co. Carry these beautiful folders around the office or back and forth from home in a very functional yet stylish, lightweight File Tote that opens up into eight expandable sections for easy access. Some might prefer to keep everything in one old fashioned 3-ring binder, which is fine by us -- just make sure to choose one with a little flair. A patterned, fabric-covered binder by Pulp can fashionably hold months worth of paperwork.

As for receipts, bills and letter openers, toss them in this cute enamel "Essentials" Holder that can be mounted up on the wall or sit nicely on your desk. And if you'd like to save that morning newspaper or magazine, place it neatly in a Pandan Newspaper Bin instead of trying to shove it back in your purse. What to do with those unwanted papers? That's easy enough. Just get a wastepaper basket, preferably a gorgeous decoupage one that's customizable with your initials.

3-Way Notepad

3-Way Notepad
$11 @ OrganizedLiving.com

Organizing your time is just as important as organizing your desk. The best way to remember all of the things you have to do is to keep a running list, so why not jot down everything in a 3-Way Notepad, conveniently divided into "home", "work", and "play." If you prefer a more conventional planner, there is always the 8 Days A-Week Journal. That's right, eight days: Monday through Sunday, plus "Someday," that theoretical day you plan to do everything else.

Display the days of the month elegantly with a Snow & Graham Desk Calendar. The set of monthly cards feature their signature botanical designs that continue onto the back of each card and can double as little squares of art if you choose to frame them.

A long day at work merits a few moments of clock-watching. Leave it to the MoMA Design Store to offer this clever World Time Clock -- roll the clock onto any of its twelve sides to find the time in twenty-four major cities. If your interests do not include the opening hour of the stock market in Beijing, this artsy timepiece will at least let you know when it is getting close to Martini Time.

USB Cafe Pad

USB Cafe Pad
$19 @ PerpetualKid.com

It is probably safe to say that your company's set of computer systems bears little resemblance to the style and sleekness of an Apple Store. However, there are still ways to make your workstation fun.

The first thing most of us do when we sit down in our office is drink a cup of coffee. The tech geniuses outdid themselves with inventive USB powered devices like this Café Pad that actually heats drinks at your desk. Just plug it into your computer, turn on the power switch, and enjoy a hot mug. But be sure to save your other USB port for a retro-looking flexible lamp. And your old flash drive doesn't have to feel left out. This one from Digital Era is so girly, it could pass for a tube of lipstick.

If you work from your laptop, deck it out with a cool daisy skin or a bight poppy sleeve. There are quite a few stylish laptop bags out there, but this Mina bag is all the quilted, sequined trendiness you could ask for with other important qualities like durability, sufficient padding, and waterproof nylon fabric.

Digital Picture Frame

Digital Picture Frame
$133 @ Amazon.com

A few important etceteras not be overlooked:

Having photos around you of friends, family, and the fabulous places you've vacationed can help to remind you why it is you're working so hard. (No, it's not just to pay off your shopping bills…). A digital picture frame gives you the benefit of displaying fifty of your favorite photos, without the clutter of a million frames on your desk.

A Zen garden looks chic and can help reduce stress by clearing your mind. This Deluxe Zen Garden from Office Playground even comes with a Book of Meditations for achieving inner peace.

Humorous office supplies are worth the little extra cash if they can bring a smile to your face during the day, like these far from generic emoticon clips. Check out the " ...oops!" eraser and the crumpled up paper paperweight.

And every girl should have a mini toolbox at the office. Not stocked with hammers, though, these Minor Emergency Kits from See Jane Work have everything you'll need to resolve a fashion crisis. With one for sewing and one for first aid, these pouches are tiny enough to fit in your purse and cheap enough ($5.95) to have in the car, in the home, and in the desk drawer.
