If I had the budget to create my dream wardrobe it would look a little bit like the above. Primarily black (I'm told this is both predictable but endearing); silky fabrics; split skirts; blazers and of course the perfect LBD.

My top 10 essentials list for every wardrobe:

1. Tailored Blazer

2. Silky maxi dress (black is preferred but not essential) with a lot of exposed skin

3. Black skinny jeans/leather pants

4. The perfect white shirt

5. A little black dress. Go for shorter, rather than tighter to look sexy not trashy.

6. A classic pair of two-strap stiletto's

7. Ankle booties

8. An assortment of rings for layering.

9. A leather jacket

10. Sleek swimsuit
