Stylists Tool Kit – Buy Yours Today - Only $43.00
Celebrities rely on stylists to keep them current and looking fabulous. The job sounds glamorous, but the reality is that it’s hard work. Although a celebrity may look flawless on the red carpet, their look is often precariously held together with the help of hidden tape, pins, needles, and all sorts of other secrets.
Here are a few key items that you should have with you at home, and anytime you travel, to help you look polished and put together every day.

Foot Petals – These gems can help make even the most uncomfortable shoes bearable for an evening. They come in various shapes and sizes, but my favorites are the tip toes. They are round pads that cushion the ball of your foot so you can walk comfortably and confidently in your killer heels. (2 sets included)
Shoe Grips – Do you find that you slip and slide in new shoes because the sole isn’t scuffed up yet? Well shoe grips are little sandpaper like circles that stick to the bottom of your shoe to prevent you from slipping. Celebrities can’t risk falling on camera or on the red carpet, so they rely on these to keep them sturdy. Foot petals sell a version, but your local shoe repair store will have them as well. If you’re in a pinch, grab your scissors and score the bottom of the shoes. It works just as well. (2 sets included)
Cuticle Scissors – These little guys will save you every time. Pulling on stray strings will often ruin your garment. Cut away random threads, cut off tags, trim your eyebrows, cut your nails, score the bottom of your shoes, pry open a bottle of wine, whatever. I keep mine in my makeup bag so I always have them with me.
Double Stick Tape – If you are planning on going braless and wearing a low cut top or dress, double stick tape is necessary to keep everything in place. Cut a piece to size, adhere to the garment, then stick to the skin. Many companies sell their own versions of double stick tape, but I find the most effective, affordable, and widest variety can be found at wig/hairpiece stores. (1 packet of 50 strips included)
Shout Wipes – These are great to keep in your purse incase you get a stain on your clothes. They are sealed in individual packets, so they are small and easy to use. They will help treat the stain until you can get back to your house or have the garment dry cleaned. (4 included)
Sewing Kit – Any time you go to a hotel, make sure you keep the little sewing kits that they leave in the bathroom with all the other goodies. These are the perfect size to throw in your purse or overnight bag for those unplanned emergencies. Whether you need to sew a button back on, tack a top closed, or fix a hem with a couple stitches, you’ll be prepared.
Safety Pins – Whoever invented these was a genius. I keep a few safety pins in my change purse (as well as a couple bobby pins) so that I have them with me at all times. You never know when a button will pop off, your hem tears, a waistband is suddenly stretched out, or you rip your pants. A few strategically placed safety pins can often help you out until you get back to your tailor.
Lint Roller – Buy one regular sized to keep at home, and one travel sized to keep in your car or toss in your overnight bag. Nothing ruins a polished look quicker than being covered in lint. These should be mandatory for any dog or cat owner.
Static Solution - Avoid irksome static on tights and skirts with this nifty static solution spritzer. Or, you can do it the old fashioned way and simply spray aerosol hairspray on your skirt or dress to keep static at bay.
The Strapper – Finally, a handy tool that can convert a regular bra into a racer-back. This is great for traveling, as you won’t have to bring along multiple bras.
No More Blisters - This ingenious and invisible Blister Block roll on reduces friction to prevent blisters. Ideal for the first day you wear your new shoes or when you are faced with an unexpected long walk.
Make sure you bring these save the day items along with you on any trip…as you never know what might happen!
I just bought this great pair of heels that I had to share with you. I bought them about a week ago and then sure enough I saw a huge spread in Glamour magazine this week with almost the exact same heels in every shot. The shoes I bought were by Jeffrey Campbell and only $95. The identical shoes in the photo shoot are by Burberry and cost $940. I’ve pasted both of the images below. Are the Burberry ones really that different?
