We've always appreciated AnOther Magazine 's perfectly edited list of 15 things every man should have, as told by gentleman, designer, auteur, dad, and not-quite-everyman Tom Ford—and thought women deserve an equally insightful breakdown. So we turned to a woman who knows women, has style in spades, humor to spare, and claims to repel men, Leandra Medine, to count down her bare necessities. Consider it your new guide to womanhood.

1. At least one Beyonce CD. Yes, CD.

2. A good white cotton blouse.

3. The power to say no.

4. The confidence to say yes.

5. Red lipstick.

6. A pair of pumps.

7. A pair of frivolous if not completely decadent bought-on-the-whim shoes.

8. One really heavy pair of chandelier earrings.

9. One really light, dainty necklace, preferably handed down and therefore indicating some sentimentality.

10. Sincerity.

11. A trench coat.

12. A well-rated blow dryer plus diffuser.

13. A notebook or an iPhone memo, any place really to store your dreams.

14. A reliable mascara.

15. A pair of balls that belonged to a man who didn't deserve to keep them.
