TLSE Loves: Hybrid Back-to-Work Essentials

We're back and getting into the nitty gritty here at TLSE, working in a hybrid-style combination of in-office and at home, ready for whatever 2023 throws at us. We've embraced the post-Covid work environment and all the flexibility it brings, working from wherever the wind takes us: The TLSE apartment, the Coogee Pavillion, Stay Casita and even Bali! Long gone are the days of simply sitting at a desk all day, we're always up and about shooting content, having team meetings, styling, meeting with clients and working from the comfort of home, without sacrificing our workload or work life balance.

Laptop...check... diary...check...pens...check... but what about the exciting stuff? The luxe headphones for playing your favourite work tunes and getting in the zone, the stylish tote bag for carrying all your work goods, the staple oversized shirt to take you through all seasons or even the tasty lunch we're whipping up in the kitchen. We try to keep things savvy and flexible in the office because we do a whole lot of collaborating, so any tools, accessories, bits or bobs to make our lives easier is a big yes.

Whether you're at the desk, on the couch or on the go, we asked the team to share some of their favourite back-to-work essentials currently on our wish list, from office gear, to accessories to staple clothing pieces, work lunches and more. Discover our selects below:

Picked by our Director and founder Heidi, the July tote bag is the perfect bag for travel, work and even weekends. Carry it by hand, over the shoulder or pair it with a strap of your choosing for hands-free movement. Our favourite part is that it slides and secures over luggage handles, plus has a top zip for added security and is stacked with compartments! Shot by TLSE

At the top of our Social Media Manager Lily's wish list is the Apple Airpods max. Sweat- and water-resistant, noise-cancelling and in a range of fun colours! The sea foam green is our fave.

Our Social Media and PR Manager Mikaela can be spotted in a Blanca shirt at least once a week, and the next one of her list is the Winona shirt in blue. Oversized, timeless and relaxed, this is the ultimate work shirt to wear through any season.

Our Social Media Manager Emma loves a big yummy salad for lunch! Next up on her list is a Teriyaki Salmon Poke Bowl, as seen on Taste. Easy for meal-prepping, especially when she's always on the go with 3 kiddies! Plus it's full of protein to keep you going all day long.

To keep her morning coffee's hot, Em has also had her eye on this Seed and Sprout Insulated Flask. We love that Seed and Sprout are committed to ethically sourced and cruelty free materials for an eco-sustainable long lasting future.

A favourite from our Art Director Madi, this clean and ever contemporary waterproof rucksack features an internal laptop pocket, a spacious main compartment, and a concealed external phone pocket on the back panel.

We're all guilty of losing our keys, and this brass, sleek + minimalist Contour Key Ring by AREAWARE in New York is sure to keep them not only safe, but also stylish! The ring closes neatly with a screw clasp and can be worn around your wrist or clipped to your belt.

Another favourite amongst the team is This is Gentle Habits Incense. You'll find us burning these all day long, at home or in the office. Shot by TLSE
