Are you going on holiday this summer? With my book Sage Living coming out in September, I'm staying in LA to get ready for the launch! While I'm certainly not complaining, I know it can be a bummer to watch from behind a desk as friends and family head out of town. Yet we worker bees deserve to enjoy our summer too! To that end, I'm excited to share some ideas for evoking a vacation mindset in your workspace. The secret lies in decor touches that evoke the spontaneous spirit of the season!
The inspiration for this summer office upgrade is a snazzy new HP Pavilion 17” notebook, which goes on sale exclusively at HSN on July 18th. The laptop comes fully-loaded with the much anticipated Windows 10 operating system, making it a model of efficiency. Multiple desktops let you expand your workspace to organize and toggle between your apps and windows exactly as you like to speed through your to-do's and still squeeze in some summer fun. Or better yet, take your work with you! Windows 10 was designed to conserve power, so you can spend the day in the sun and still have enough battery life to power through your inbox.
Color is such an integral part of summer, and this exclusive HP for HSN Pavilion comes in five vivid hues to inspire serious workspace style. The bright pop of the red one makes for a high-energy home office that calls to mind classic vacation memories like sno cones, string bikinis, and roller coasters. Touches of strawberry ice cream pink and flashy bronze are at once sophisticated and eye-catching. Whatever palette you choose to update your summer workspace, a little color goes long way towards creating an uplifting mood!
For the finishing touches, easy display options let me switch things up on a whim. A framed piece of pink scrapbook paper functions as a no-commitment bulletin board for my poster-of-the-moment. (Just pin it up inside the frame—no need to worry about exact sizing!) Meanwhile, photos and fun magazines clippings get their fifteen minutes of fame beneath a sheet of plexiglass cut to fit the top of my desk. The effect is playful and energetic, just like summer should be! For more dynamic workspace style, be sure to check out the 17" HP Pavilion, available starting July 18th on HSN!

I love that City of Angels print!
