Essential accessories for a woman's wardrobe

Somebody once said the best part of an outfit must be the shoes or the bag. You may disagree, but it is true that they have the ability of renewing a whole look. My essential pieces are:

A pair of black pumps. I prefer pointed toe shoes because they elongate the legs.

The holy trinity of shoes: sandals in black, silver and gold.

A pair of black boots. I prefer ankle boots to knee-length boots, because they give the outfit a tough and quirky touch. But it's up to you.

Black ballerinas. Perfect for everyday wear, they are so comfortable, you won't want to take them off.

A black leather bag. Big enough to contain every unnecessary thing you want. My favourite is the Balenciaga "City".

Jackie O' and aviator sunglasses. They will never go out of fashion.

Brown bag. I prefer them with distressed leather because they last longer. Mulberry bags are a must.

Essential pieces for a woman's wardrobe

One of my resolutions for this year is to purchase good basics. The key is to find cloths of the best quality shaped in classic cuts. In this case, I better avoid temporary trends, because I need garments that pass the test of time.

LBD.- We should be eternally grateful to Coco Chanel for things like this.

White poplin shirt. I need something original, my choice is Dior Homme.

Black coat. I regard this as an investment. A good coat can last ages.

Jeans. The range is endless, but this time I'll give A.P.C. a try.

Trench. It must be Burberry.

White tees. In every possible cut. My favourites are from: The Row, Mark and Estel, and Etoile Isabel Marant.

A black suit. Considering I'm still pretty young for a suit, I have to wait some time before buying it.

Cashmere cardigans. They are so warm and comfortable, I would never take them of.

Black skirt. A black high-waisted skirt is my choice, but if you want a classic cut, go for a pencil skirt.

Finally, I couldn't resist adding a striped t-shirt. It's not a basic piece, but it ages very well.
