10 Things Every Woman Must Own

Of course, we've all heard it before, every girls needs a little black dress. Well, it's actually true. They are the fail safe back up for any party or event, it's just that us fash-gals like them a little longer and looser. Silk camis, off-the-shoulder ruffles and structured shoulders are the way forward. You can even team with a roll neck underneath in the winter to ensure you really get the most out of this dress.

A crisp white cotton shirt that's slightly oversized and with a great cuff can be the start to every great outfit. Wear 'half tucked' into tailored trousers for a clean work look or unbutton a little with jeans and a heel for the weekend. Don't forget you can even take it on holiday and it'll double up as a bikini cover-up.
