Also…. Here’s here’s some tips fromĀ  Inside the Stylist’s Toolbox Kit ~ Source: “Style A to Zoe” by Rachel Zoe:

Don’t get dressed without these emergency fixers nearby:

1. Toupee tape – This or a similar double-sided tape will keep in place a plunging neckline or errant strap. “Hollywood Fashion Tape” is a godsend.

2. Eyelash glue – Use in cases when toupee tape is too wide, such as for spaghetti straps.

3. Safety Pins – In assorted sizes, but definitely have the tiny ones on hand.

4. Broach – Jeweled or metal, keep one handy in the case of an instant nip and tuck.

5. A small pair of scissors.

6. A needle and thread – At a bare minimum, keep thread in black, white, light gray, and champagne on hand. Or consider the dominant colors in your wardrobe and stock up on those colors.

7. Stain-removal sponges – There are several on the market now, including Miss Oops Rescue Sponges, which are especially amazing for erasing makeup and deodorant skidmarks from clothes.

8. Tampons – Seriously. Stress can impact our bodies in all sorts of unexpected ways, and breakout periods have happened to too many of my clients. Shudder to think if you’re not ready while wearing a white dress.

9. Shoe insoles- Particularly helpful are nonslip triangles for high heels.

10. Clear bandages – Blisters are not pretty. You don’t want to be uncomfortable – or bleeding.

Snow/Rain Boot Recommendations

Since the weather man is calling for another snowfall, when the near foot of snow we have already received hasn’t yet melted, I thought it was a good time to recommend a good source for stylish rain/snow boots. (See link below.)

Zappos has short, medium, and tall boots to choose among. The best part about ordering from Zappos is they have free shipping, even if you have to return them for some reason! Below are three options as a starting place. Check them out!
