Some girls like to go all the way in when choosing an outfit. They check the latest trends online to figure out what to buy and wear for the next couple of months. Me on the other hand? I like to buy staple pieces. Things I can mix and match, not only today, but in 20 years too.

I like the fact that I can open my closet and pick anything and everything looks nice when mixed together.

Oh, the magic of basics!

A couple of staple pieces and one or two cool items to give a little extra touch to the outfit, and I'm good to go.

Here is my must-have list of basic items:

1. Plain white/black tees

You should have plain tees in as many colors as possible, but black and white are a must!

2. Striped tee

They add a little twist to plain tees, and they look extremely cute when you personalize them with pins. Have fun with it!

3. Jean jacket

I LOVE jean jackets. They make a dress look more casual, a plain tee look cooler and they look amazing when you tie them around you waist.

Ripped, with pins, cropped, dark or light. Jean jackets are the way to go.

4. Black blazer

If you're looking for a piece to make your day-outfit seem more like a night-out-outfit, you need a black blazer. They make any outfit look fancier and it's always good to have one in your closet in case you have a last-minute presentation or interview.

5. Black leggings

Leggings ARE pants. Don't try to argue with me because I won't change my mind. They are more comfortable, look better on your body and match any type of shoe.

I recommend getting a couple of black ones just because you can mix them with any shirt or jacket easier.

6. Go-to jeans

No explanation needed here. Name someone you know who doesn't own at least one pair of jeans, I'll wait...

7. White sneakers

White sneakers have the capacity of pulling a whole outfit together. They make you look cute in a I-didn't-even-try type of way.

8. Ballet flats

Ballet flats are the type of shoe that makes you look so girly and cute, but simple at the same time. Plus, they are super comfortable and look good with jeans, skirts, dresses, fancy pants, shorts...

9. Belt

A good belt is a must have. But a cute one? It can be the perfect twist for the perfect outfit.

Get at least one and thank me later.

10. Black dress

Need to go out but don't have time to figure out your outfit? Little black dress!

Mix these and add a cool jacket or purse and you got yourself a cool outfit.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
