Home Personal Stylist Blog Every Day Style 13 Items I Cannot Live Without

13 Items I Cannot Live Without


Do you have items that you can’t live without?

You know the ones I’m speaking about. Those things you would drag away with you on a deserted island to survive – well – survive happily 🙂

In a world filled with excess and an abundance of choice, it’s good to strip back your items and focus on your most favourite things.

Part of my job is helping women (and some men) create and build up their own list of things they love (wardrobe and beauty specific) and acknowledging that in modern life, these items can not only help you look good, but also feel good.

So today I’ve decided to share my own list of my most favourite things that I would prefer not to live without.

  1. Black Wittner Boots
    2
  2. Kookai Ink long line Cardigan
  3. Cinz Highlighting Cream
  4. Eye of Horus Mascara
  5. Parlux 1800 Hair Dryer (best hairdryer EVER for frizzy hair)
  6. My silver Kookai necklace
  7. Black Mimco cuff (which is about 10 years old!)
    3
  8. Forever New white Blazer
  9. Qaba Orange Leave-in hair treatment – All natural!
  10. Sass n Bide black Asymmetric top
  11. White Country Road Crop
  12. Equipp earrings – only $3!
  13. Chloe perfume

You may think my list looks quite typical but each of these items has been handpicked because I love them (TRUST ME – I wanted to put everything in!!)

Actually when it comes to fashion and beauty, I always recommend a less is more approach and wearing/using a smaller amount of products that really serve you.

So today I encourage you to write your own list of things you’d prefer not to live without.

Now before you start listing family members and smartphone (because they are non-negotiable) this list is FOR YOU and about fashion and beauty so off you go!

Don’t be shy, list yours below or on Facebook – let’s get some list sharing happening!

      Agree Therese! It’s like a fridge out there today, could also add to the list a think coat and

    Love this post, Cindy! Five things I can’t live without at the moment:

    1. My favorite pair of black Cole Haan high heels
    2. My white & black polka dot cardi from Forever 21
    3. Two shades of bright pink lipstick– one from Mac & one from Dior (often mixed)
    4. My emerald green maxi dress from Seraphine (I’m nearly 7 months preggo!)
    5. Old Navy nude flip flops in my purse (just in case I give up on the heels)
