The three staple items you can't live without!


Why hello there :) I do hope you're all in better health than I am, there's this really awful flu- like virus going around here which is weird because it's Spring. First my Mum was sick with it and now me, hope no one's next! Any who, I wanted to talk about staple items in this post. You know, pieces of clothing that go with anything and everything- items that you should be splurging on without regrets because you actually need them? Haha :)

First and foremost, a good, trusty pair of skinny jeans is a crucial requirement for any wardrobe. If they're good quality and the perfect fit on you, you can wear the life out them and actually get your money's worth! One of my favorite dark blue jeans had a nail polish stain at the back (don't know when I sat on the stuff) and so I went out and bought a new pair last week. Even though they cost me a bit more than I intended to spend, I'm really happy I bought them. They're like a really dark navy almost black color and are even fitted around the ankles (you know how sometimes you get those really annoying ones that are fitted around the thighs and then becomes really loose as they go down? No? Okay well anyway they're not like that YAY :))

BLAZEEEEEEEEERS :) My favorite item of clothing like ever. Like seriously, if you don't have at least one, you're missing out on something really fantastic in life. I mean it! They go with absolutely EVERYHTING. Wear them over any old t-shirt or dress and to add instant class to your outfit. Versatile colors like brown, black, grey or navy pretty much can match with any shades, I myself have a black one and a bark blue.Now  I'm looking out for ones in bold colours, like orange or pink and even green! Hopefully I'll come across some good Christmas sales this summer (and boxing day, OHMYGOSH.)



Last but not least, a comfy yet oh so stylish pair of heels! Now if you're like me and have worn flats all your life ans still can't walk confidently in heels without the occasional wobble, start with wedges :) They're a lot easier to walk in than the thinner heels (but hurt no less I'm sorry to say haha). I'm looking out for a really strappy pair for summer, like the one's below, how hot are they?


I'd love to know about more staple items you guys have in your wardrobe! Leave me comments darlings, they're the reason I keep blogging :) Oh and while you're at it, take a listen to this song, the lyrics are amazing. 'Til next time xo.

Leave a few awesome words? You'll make my day :)

NEVER GIVE UP

The road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.



-Marion Zimmer Bradley



The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.



-Winston Churchill



Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.



-Gail Devers



Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.
