BCBGMAXAZRIA - Piper Envelope Clutch ($98.00 at Zappos)

From accessories to the perfect Post-It Notes, I've got you covered when it comes to spicing up your work-life. The 9 to 5 daily grind can get a little humdrum if you work in an office, and you can't always escape to your PopSugar iPhone app without getting caught by your coworkers. So what's a gal to do? These little extras will give you a little something to make your day a bit more interesting, or at the very least, you'll look really good being bored at work.

Anything Anne Taintor will surely get you through the day, such as this "Why Am I Sober?" pen ($4.99 at AnneTaintor.com). The Anne Taintor sticky notes ($4.49 at AnneTaintor.com) are practically an office staple where I work, and this one quickly sums up how efficient I am in taking messages.

Blush is a great pick-me up if you're feeling tired, and although TheBalm is a bit pricey, I think the packaging adds a little something extra. (TheBalm Down Boy $21.00 at Sephora.)

Peplum is sweet and fun and this flirty Sleeveless Top With Peplum And Daisy Print ($48.71 at Asos) will liven your work ensemble. Wear this to work on days when you need a bit of extra cheer.

Some ladies can walk around in stilettos all day, but I prefer something more comfortable, like a low kitten heel or flats. If you want comfort without sacrificing style, here's another choice to liven up your work wear: Cooperative Applique Flat ($34.00 at Urban Outfitters).

Give yourself something shiny to look at, like this Tropical Fish Mini Wish Ring (on sale for $24.49 at Juicy Couture). Bonus if you end up day dreaming about that cruise you've been dying to take.

And finally, if you love to write here's a quick way to enhance your writing skills--the One Word A Day Journal ($14.00 at Urban Outfitters). Write down one word that sums up your day or how you are feeling at work. It's also pretty interesting to flip back and look at!

Brighten up your summer days (and nights) by swapping out your little black dress for a little white dress!

Although you can stylishly wear white all year round (forget that Southern "after Labor Day" rule), you can wear it a little more often in the summer months. It's important to keep a few things in mind when wearing an all white look: red lipstick is a definite plus and you don't have to over accessorize the look, especially if you have a really great LWD. Below are three fabulous LWD options for you to choose from, and they're all under $60. Plus, I've included styling options to give you a few ideas!

Which dress is your favorite? Let me know in the comments!

Dress with Front Patch ($59.90 at Zara.com)

This is the most expensive dress on the list, but it's such a great fit and cut that it's definitely worth the cost per wear. It comes with the belt, so it's a shirtdress that will already give you some shape. You can swap out the belt for a dressier look if necessary. If you're just going for an everyday look, I'd pair with congnac brown strappy heels and a long gold necklace. This dress is definitely appropriate for work!

ASOS Mini Dress with Mesh Panels ($34.79 at Asos)

This dress has been marked down from $78, so get it quick if you love it! The mesh side panels on this dress are what I love the most about it! I think it would be perfect for a date with your beau or a night out during a beach vacation. Vampy red lipstick and strappy metallic heels make the perfect accents.

ASOS PETITE Bandeau Dress In Textured Cloth ($46.10 at Asos)

This dress has also been marked down from $60, and it's such a great find! It's got an amazing cloth texture to it that really adds to the dress. It's casual enough to be worn during the day, but you can most certainly elevate the dress for night too. For day, pair with a floppy hat and wedges, and for night pair with nude pumps, a sleek updo, and shoulder sweeping earrings.

Recently Jessica Alba wore the perfect monochromatic outfit in New York, but I was particularly smitten with her Tory Burch hat! It's the perfect nod to summer and look great paired with bikinis, sundresses, or Jessica's look here--a loose sweater and oversized trousers. I'm pretty much obsessed with hats (specifically fedoras), but I think Panama hats are going to be the most popular style this season.

The hat is unavailable online, but there are a few affordable options for the rest of us to choose from!
