*Lovely Luggage at Toss Designs*

On your next business trip, avoid the awkward limbo of trying to spot your luggage on the airport carousel. Really, there are *far* too many versions of that plain bag you have been using! With patterned totes, cabin bags, rolling duffels, and weekender bags from Toss Designs, your luggage will now be hard to miss. Seriously, how could luggage this chic and distinct get “lost”? Case and point.

*Fabulous Office: Taylor PR New York*

Talk about an Office With a View-how about looking out over New York City from one of the world’s most iconic buildings? From “King Kong” to “When Harry Met Sally”, the Empire State Building has seen it all. Yet today, tourism and movie sets aren’t the only reasons people gather in this building.

The team at Taylor PR New York enjoys this view every work day at the Empire State Building. Imagine stepping out for lunch on Fifth Avenue and rubbing elbows with super stars like Kelly Ripa and The Donald. Even running errands could be glamorous as you pick up a few items at Tiffany & Co. and Versace on the way home. The sky’s the limit when you work in the fifth tallest building in the World!

So what is it like to work in the Empire State Building? Taylor PR’s Senior Account Executive, Christine Gonsior said, ”The open atmosphere of our space enables us to catch a great view of the city from every office. From seeing the traffic at Herald Square to views of the East River and Hudson to a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty on a clear day, we are in the middle of it all.”

Sounds pretty fabulous, doesn’t it? What is your Office With a View like?

*Beachy Keen: West Elm’s Cadman Workstation*

 

Is the beach calling your name like it is calling ours? Well, you don’t have to go to the coast to enjoy a serene view. Create a summer oasis in your office every day with West Elm’s clean-lined Cadman Workstation. Keep it calm and collected, or even add a little flare with fun accessories like the zebra rug as shown.

You might even be able to pull off flip flops in this office with a view. What do you think? :)
