So, I've been going through my books and magazines on style and lately I've been re-reading Nina Garcia's The One Hundred. Now, I'm not a style director, but a busy mum of two, who's trying to be stylish without breaking the bank. So, here is my list of essentials, including a few lust-after pieces.
Clothes:
Bikini
Blazer
Boyfriend Cardigan
Cable knit sweater
Cape
Cashmere sweater
Denim jacket
(fake) fur vest or coat
Jeans: one pair that is perfect for you; mine are dark blue straight-leg, high-waist (never trendy, so never really out)
Black skinny jeans
Boyfriend jeans (distressed)
Sexy underwear/ lingerie: just for yourself
Little black dress
White summer dress
White shirt, preferably a man’s
Maxi dress or skirt: looks so chic during the summer and boho-cool in colder temperatures
Motorcycle jacket/ leather jacket
Vintage band T-Shirt (of a band you actually listen to)
Swimsuit
Parka: the cool girl’s cover-up, also perfect for Mama’s in the playground
Pencil skirt
Plain white T-Shirt (I love V-necks)
Push-up bra (most of us can do with a little lift every now and then)
Sheath-dress
(black) silk top: Angelina wears one all the time, so there.
Striped sailor shirt
Suit
Sweater
(cute) Sweat-pants: not your old, worn-out ones, but ones in a fun print or fabric (mine are still indoor use only), because
sometimes you just need to be comfortable
Trenchcoat
Tuxedo jacket
Vintage
Wrap dress
Zippered hoody
Accesories:
- Shoes: Ankle boots
o Ballet flat´
o Converse sneakers- I prefer the high-top Chuck Taylor all-stars
o Masculine boots, e.g. Frye harness boot
o Knee boots
o Mary Janes
o Sandals
o Slippers
o Stilettos
o Wellington boots
- Bags: Hobo bag: one that holds pretty much everything you own.

o Investment bag (I adore the Mulberry Alexa)
o Cross-body bag
- Jewelry: Bangles
o Brooch
o Cocktail/ statement ring
o Charm bracelet
o Cuff
o Pearl studs
o Hoop earrings
o Pearl necklace
o Statement necklace
o Watch
- Other: Ray Ban Aviators and/or Wayfarers
o Black opaque tights
o fishnets
o Belt
Blanket scarf (you know the one that keeps you warm in winter and is big enough to double as a blankie)
o Hat, as in a wooly hat
o Gentleman’s Hat
o Gloves
o Silk scarf
o umbrella
Make-up:
BB Cream or other tinted moisturizer
Concealer
Nailpolish: barely there light pink (everyday chic)
Vampy dark red
Wild card (black or other moody colour)
Perfume: at least one that reflects your personality
Lipstick: classic red
A nude that suits your skintone
One that matches your natural lip-colour
Dark berry tone
lipbalm
