A new book written by Elle magazine's fashion director Nina Garcia, gives her opinions on the pieces that are viewed as must haves for your wardrobe.
I've picked some of my favourites that I own and also that I would like to own!!
Animal Print
Leopardprint is my absolute favourite of the bunch.
Boyfriend cardigan
A great cosy item thats in trend for autumn and winter.
Brooches
A great accessory-try wearing it in unexpected ways, on a headband or hat or a bag.
Cowboy Boots
Better if they're 'roughed up' first!
Denim jacket
Not meant to be worn with more denim!
Fur
Fake it or go for a real vintage if inclined!
Jeans
Always In Style
Leather trousers
The tighter and skinnier, the better!
Little Black Dress
A definite must have for all seasons
Old Concert T Shirt
A great must have, that I currently don't have!
Pearl Necklace
Thanks to my generous mum in law, I now have this in my wardrobe
Statement Necklace
If in doubt, head straight over to WendyB!!
Tuxedo Jacket
Great dressed up or dressed down
Vintage
Say no more, the best for a one off unique piece of style and fashion
Wishlist Items
I would like at some point-a denim skirt, chestnut brown vintage leather bag, more sequins.
Whats your immediate must have or on your wishlist?

I remember reading this list somewhere, I have most if not all of the list. I have tons on my wishlist at the moment, none of them classic items on the list though!
Hi fashion dreamer-it was in the daily mail, maybe thats where you saw it!!
Just discovered your site today and I love it! As a coincidence, I posted today on my blog shopping tips, and one of the suggestions was to shop at antique stores for brooches and other jewellery! I look forward to reading more from you!
