In the city that never sleeps my plans are constantly changing. On the weekend when things change it is easy to switch outfits, bags, and prep properly. On the other hand, when I am sitting at my desk and I’ve worn one of my comfortable but probably less stylish outfits, this can be a problem. Over the last six months I have created an arsenal of everything I might need for a quick, easy switch.It has become more and more frequent that when I get up and leave my desk I am headed somewhere fun but definitely not where I had planned when I got ready for work. Not really something to complain about – hey, I live in New York City and I love rooftop drinks, sporting events at Madison Square Garden, and impromptu dinner parties but I keep finding myself unprepared. Why is it that those über-fashionable days (I would like to think) I have no events and no one to take photos but those days when I think it is okay to get away with jeggings as pants, those are the days I am headed out. Because that is the way things work. Thus, I have decided to dedicate a drawer of my desk to these “emergencies”.
Until yesterday, this was the drawer:
After this past weekend, I have four new additions; my new Venus Snap, hair spray, a statement bracelet, and a slate gray shirt that will actually match any bottoms I am wearing! Friday night all four of these would have come in handy! Thank goodness I have great friends who I can lean on to borrow things in a pinch but having my own is just going to be so much better!
The newest addition? My Venus Snap for instant smoothness on the go – a new must have with the mini-handle, easy grip, and cute compact case.
It is official, the drawer is complete!
I have to tell you though, if you want to see the product, default to the manufacturers photo, so…
For instant smoothness on the go– I will throw my Venus Snap in my portable RuMe bag with a few other absolutely necessities! (It is available at Target!)
Do you have an emergency kit? What is in yours?

I have an emergency bag but its contents are always changing.
