White
Linen. Crisper than a thrice fried potato chip, white linen is a brisk summer breeze in textile form. It's light, breathable and pairs perfectly with a cherry red lip stain.
We are also loving the pyjama-as-daywear trend in white.

Short
Summer is THE time to take your pins on a safari of the office environment. Take them on a stroll to the kitchen, maybe past the water cooler, or bring them to a halt for a chat with a colleague in the hallway on your way to a meeting. Who knows what they'll see!
Hair
A change is as good as a holiday, and since most of us just returned from holiday, what can be more inviting than another break? We are still loving candyfloss tresses and blunt fringes.
Stay hydrated
Back to work means back to reality - i.e. no alcoholic beverages before 12pm...ag, I mean until after work.
Replenish those electrolytes with water, healthy snacks like watermelon and coconut water.*
*Please refrain from walking around the office drinking from an actual coconut (organic I assume) - colleagues might fear you've joined an island cult whilst on holiday.
