We’ve all read those “fashion must haves” posts where some expert tells you what every woman should own. I’ve even had people ask me this very question for their own stories.

I’ve always found it kind of funny (also, slightly frustrating) that the most simple things in life are the most difficult to find. The ideal salad (that’s actually satisfying and filling…why can’t we have both?), a mascara that does what it says it will do (but wait, I just found that) and perfect basics.

You know those miracle winter days when it’s not below freezing and you suddenly think it’s spring and heavy coats are no longer necessary?

Welcome, 2014. Nice to meet you. 2013 was pretty cool so you have some big shoes to fill (and as long as those shoes aren’t Birkenstocks, I think we’ll do just fine).
