She-mergencies

As luscious-ites, we really do carry an unnecessary quantity of nothingness in our handbags.

And with the copious amounts of she-mergencies waiting to happen, it’s time to un-junk the tote and stock it with the woman saviours!

Double sided tape and safety pin (to avoid a nasty wardrobe malfunction on the dance-floor)
Tissues (because one would swear some clubs don’t believe in toilet paper)
Tampons
Paw paw ointment (a cure of all!)
Breath mints
Panadol (vital for the morning after)
Bandaids
Travel size hairspray (this removes static from a clingy dress as well as perfecting the ‘do’!)
Mirror compact
Deodorant wipes
Lip gloss
A pen (you never know who’s number you might need to write down)
Party Feet inserts
Magic money (this is the $50 note that you hide in the inside zipper incase you get caught without taxi money or you can’t locate an ATM)

Speaking of handbags, check out our Style Leader > Handbag Heaven page.
