8 Things Every Woman Must Own ...

It's the best of both worlds! Whether you want straight hair or a bit of curls, you can achieve either look with this one tool! You can also get different sized curls with one straightener rather than having to own several differently sized curling irons! You save space and money having only one tool! If you don't have one, get one quick! You'll love it instantly!

Lots and lots of accessories! As a woman, you can't have enough necklaces, earrings and other jewelry and lots of scarfs! Accessories add so much variety to your wardrobe that you'll be wondering what you'd look like without them! I speak on a personal basis, here, girls. Not too long ago, I was the type that stuck to a simple gold chain with a little, bitty charm and simple stud earrings. Nothing crazy. I thought I'd look silly! Boy! What a change in my wardrobe and my overall confidence when I learned I could totally rock chunky accessories and scarfs! You can too! The key is to find jewelry that shows your personality in how you dress!

Come on! What is a woman without at least a dozen pairs of shoes under her bed? Variety is the spice of life, especially in footwear! Flats, sandals, flip-flops, wedges, heels...you need to have lots of choices to change up your outfits. Adding a pair of sexy red heels to a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt (with accessories, of course) can completely change the way that same outfit looks with flip-flops! Trust me...lots of shoes are a must.

I know it sounds funny, but no woman should be doomed to a life of granny panties and cotton bras all the time. Sure, they're comfy when it's "that time" but other than that, you should feel feminine! Treat yourself to some matching lacy bra and pantie sets. That way, no matter what you're wearing, you can carry yourself with an air of sexiness knowing what is underneath!

"They" say that having a "little black dress" is a necessity, and I can't help but to agree. Every woman needs that one dress that they can pull out at a moments notice and wear just about anywhere. Your one, great-fitting, adorable, black dress will carry you to weddings, funerals, black tie events, business related matters and more! It's incredibly versatile and definitely something every women should own.

Face it. Men are not always there for us like was once claimed. If you find yourself needing something hung or strung, why wait for him to "get around to it?" Pull out your (pink) tool set and get to work. You can probably do it better than he would have anyway! Pretty soon, your to-do list is done, and you didn't have to wait a year for it to get finished!

I almost forgot about purses! A purse is almost as much a stylish accessory as a good piece of jewelry is. Please don't be one of those women who have ditched the purse and gone to pockets! A girl has got to have lots of purses to match and coordinate with each outfit - it's a must. At the very least, have four or five purses that will go with most of your clothes, ok?

Every woman should treat herself to a great photo shoot at least once in her lifetime. So "glamor shots" may be a bit out of date, but there are plenty of great photographers that will take you and bring out your amazing beauty and personality in each shot they take. And for those of you who are really bold, you can go for a boudoir shoot and surprise your man with a great little gift! Whichever direction you take, you should definitely get your portraits taken (just you) and cherish them! Remember, you're just as beautiful and amazing and worth every picture as any movie star or famous person. Why not?

So, that's my list of things every woman must own. Now, you can add makeup and perfume to the list, but then again, there is a lot more that can be added, and frankly, it's my bedtime! Who knows...maybe in the future, I'll do a part 2 of this article! Feel free to leave a comment stating your "can't live without" list. I'd love to hear it!
