Fashionista Syle Kit

July 25, 2012

ImageAs an Image Coach I want to encourage you to put together a Fashionista Style Kit that will keep you ready for all fashion emergencies.  So get a cute storage box and start shopping.  I’ll tell you what you need and where to get it!

  1. Bra Strap Converter:  You will need these not only for razor back tops, but also for many sleeveless blouses.  They come in colors but clear works the best.  Get them at Hello Gorgeous!
  2. Fashion Tape:  You never know when you need a quick hem or lapel fix.  And what about those blouses that gape open, revealing your private parts!  Hollywood Fashion Tape is the best and you can find that at Hello Gorgeous Salon.
  3. Special Occasion Double Sided-Tape:  Great for bridal gowns and prom dresses.  It seals gaps and cut-outs to skin to hold in place. Again Hollywood Secrets come to the rescue at Hello Gorgeous.
  4. Safety Pins:  These are a must in all sizes from tiny to large for emergency repairs.  Pick these up at discount department stores like Target, or fabric stores.
  5. Sewing Kit:  When you do have time for repairs a small sewing kit is a must have for everyone’s style kit.  It should include a measuring tape, needles & thread, seam ripper, and small scissors.  Fabric stores, sewing centers, and most discount department stores will carry these.  I got mine at Hobby Lobby.
  6. Stain Remover Pens:  I like Tide-To-Go which you can pick up at any grocery store.  There are many other brands, too, that will erase little food or makeup mishaps instantly.   From catsup on ties to wine drops on white pants, they are amazing.
  7. Nipple Covers:  Now you should know why you need these.  If they are showing, cover them!  I love Hollywood Fashion Secrets Silicone Gel Nipple Covers because they can be used over and over again.  The disposable ones are great, too.  Find these at Hello Gorgeous in the store or our online store.
  8. Static Illuminator:  There’s nothing worse than a dress or skirt that clings to your legs or bottom.  Static Guard can be found in most department stores, grocery stores, or online at www.manhattanwardrobesupply.com
  9. Wrinkle Illuminator:  A quick fix for wrinkles when no iron or steam is available.  Niagra and other companies sell these at department and grocery stores.
  10. Lint Remover:  Keep as many of these as you can.  Lint rollers come in handy when removing dandruff, pet hair, and all those fuzzies from dark fabrics.  Pick these up anywhere.  Hello Gorgeous carries a purse size lint sheets from Hollywood Secrets for instant clean ups to look your freshest anytime. 
  11. Deodorant Stain Remover:  There’s nothing worse than putting on a blouse or dress and seeing that white smidge in all its glory.  Hello Gorgeous has a miracle sponge from Hollywood Fashion Secrets that removes it instantly. 
  12. Sweater Saver:  These remove those unsightly pulls and balls that appear on the surface of knits and sweaters.  Yes we have those too!
  13. Shoe Polish:  Keep your shoes and boots looking new with polish.  Remember your soles show fading and scuffing on the sides, heels and toes.   These are usually neutral blacks and browns that can be easily be repaired.  You may also want to have beige and clear on hand too.  Here’s a tip for red shoes:  repair nicks with red lip liner or lipstick and seal with clear polish.  Shoe polish can be found in shoe stores, shoe repair shops, and department stores.
  14. Zipper rescue kit:  It’s so easy  to repair zippers rather than replace them with this great kit from Manhattan Fashion Supply.  It has everything you will need for emergency repairs and retracking.
  15. Jean Repair Kit:  You never know when you will need to shorten jeans for flats or cinch in the waist a bit for a certain look.  This repair kit from Hollywood Fashion Secrets is great.  Find it at Hello Gorgeous Salon.
  16.  Fashion Emergency Kit:  I love this especially for traveling.  Our Fashion Emergency Kit is replete with products to prevent (or repair) virtually any wardrobe malfunction. Included in this invaluable purse-size collection are Hollywood Fashion Tape, Deodorant-Removing Sponge, Lint-Removing Sheets, Sewing Kit, Stain Wipe, Earring Back, Instant Button, Hair Band, Nail File, Blister Pad, and Shoe-Shine Sponge. With this kit, you could earn a Scouting badge for fashion emergency preparedness.  Find this at our salon or online store.
  17. Accessory Dots:  This is double-sided fashion tape in round dots that are great to hold accessories like scarves or jewelry in place.  Also works on small collars and lapels to hold them in place.
  18. Garment Shields:  These soft and pliable self-adhesive underarm shields are so discreet and lightweight that you won’t even know that you are wearing them.  They have a unique moisture-wicking, quick-dry fabric protects clothes and prevents wetness.  Now you can raise your hand.  Pick these up at Hello Gorgeous or our online store.
  19. Hand Held Steamer:  No one wants to iron so this is the next best thing.  Clothes will look fresh and wrinkle-free in minutes.  Find at Bed Bath and Beyond or Manhattan Wardrobe Supply online.
