GENIUS IDEA!!!!

Build your own Fashion Stylist’s Toolbox: This “emergency” kit is like the one stylists use on photo shoots (InStyle Magazine, March Issue).

Must Have’s:

·         Double Stick Tape (create a hem, close gapping, or keep straps in place).
·         Handheld Steamer (so much easier than ironing).
·         Lint Roller
·         Needle & Thread (a must for popped buttons).
·         Safety Pins (have both large and small sizes)
·         Small Scissors.
·         Seam Ripper.
·         Static Eliminator.
·         Stain Remover (erase spots as soon as they happen with the Tide to Go pen).
·         Wrinkle-Obliterating Spray (BEST INVENTION EVER!!!).

For must-have supplies, the pros hit Manhattan Wardrobe Supply (www.manhattanwardrobesupply.com).
