1. Crown Vintage Tabitha Bootie [$59.95] -- Every lady needs a pair of booties in her life. They go with dresses, skirts, jeans, trousers, etc.... literally everything in your wardrobe, and they always add a stylish touch to any outfit. Depending on what colors you wear most, a taupe & black pair could be great additions to add to your shoe collection. Of course, if this certain pair is too much for your budget, you can find a good pair at any price-point these days.
2. H&M Knit Striped Pencil Skirt [$12.95] -- Stripes always look classy & chic. Add a tee shirt, booties, and either a scarf or jacket [or perhaps some earrings too] -- and you have a comfy & stylish outfit for those days when you want to stay in your leggings or sweatpants.
::Sizing Tip::
If you are worried about the knit skirt being too tight on you, try going up one or two sizes up for a looser fit.
3. Hannah Everly Pink Elephant Skirt [$49.99] -- Sometimes you may just want to look a little more put together, but kinda quirky too. This is when the Pink Elephant skirt from Hannah Everly comes in handy. I have one of her burgundy bow skirts, and the quality is top-notch! [Hmm...perhaps I should style that skirt soon on BF.]
4. BITE Beauty Lipstick Duo [$12] -- Every girl who loves lip products [or makeup], needs to have a go-to lipstick that looks great with very little effort or with much makeup on the face. For me, that is the Lychee/Musk lipstick duo from BITE Beauty. The colors look great on me, are neutral looking, and add color to my face [making me look like I have makeup on].
::Tidbits about the Lipstick::
Created with natural and food-grade ingredients, BITE Beauty lip products do not contain petrochemicals and are certified gluten-free. There are no Parabens, Sulfates, or Phthalates in their lipsticks.
5. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream [$8.99] -- Easy to apply, adds some coverage, light-weight, and even-tones the skin. My favorite way to apply it is with a Beauty Blender [$19.95] or the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge [$5.99].
6. Yes To Cucumbers Face Towelettes [$6.99] -- Perfect for those days & nights when you don't want to take the time to do your full skincare routine. There are other brands out there that are good too: Simple & Boots No7 -- or even the Yes To Grapefruit ones [they also just came out with a Yes To Coconut line].
7. Della "Vintage Coral" 13" MacBook Case [$42] -- I wouldn't want to lug around a purse & laptop bag, so I would protect my MacBook by putting it in this adorable Della case [that can be found online on their website] within my back-bag or tote bag.
::Tidbits about the Company::
Della works directly with a community of women in Ghana, West Africa to facilitate their economic independence and skills & education training. You can find out all about them here.
8. J.Crew Factory Matchstick Jeans [$29.50] -- I seriously love my J.Crew jeans. They fit me perfectly & are comfy to wear. If you want to look more put together, I recommend that you pick out a pair in a darker wash over a lighter wash [they will also help you look slimmer].
9. H&M Cardigan [$34.95] -- Cardigans & Jumpers are a must have for me anytime of the year, but come Autumn and Winter time and they become a necessity. I like to pick out ones that look classic, yet showcase my style, and are comfy & warm. My favorites have come from H&M over the past year.
10. H&M Basic Jersey Tee [$9.95] -- I have several of these tee shirts in my wardrobe right now [picked them up a few weeks ago] in black & cream, and they are so comfy & soft. You wouldn't believe that they are only $9.95, as they feel like a much higher-end type of tee shirt. Also, the tee shirt comes down lower on your front & rear when wearing pants.

Great choices! For me, my must haves are a good pair of skinny jeans, a flowy top, a lightweight jacket, a cute tote bag, and flats or booties. :)
