In A Pinch

These mini emergency kits from Pinch Provisions are a mini miracle! 

This particular kit ("For Her" Miniemergency) contains hairspray, clear nail polish, nail polish remover, emery board, lip balm, earring backs, clear elastics, mending kit, safety pin, SheEmergency tape, stain remover, deodorant towelette, pain reliever, tampon, breath freshener, dental floss, and an adhesive bandage (already used and not pictured). Phew! That's a lot to fit into the 3.5'x2'x2'  purple metallic zip case! This little gem is perfect to throw into your purse so you can be perfectly prepared for any mini and not so mini mishaps!

There are different kits available on the Pinch Provisions website. They have one for teachers, moms, brides, grooms, girls, bridesmaids, him, her... the list goes on. Plus there's a great variety of styles and patterns to choose from! Prices range from $14 for the miniemergency kit to $35 for the Shemergency kit that contains 40 essential items. They also sell refills so you don't have to worry about repurchasing a whole new kit or scrambling to try to find mini equivalents. I also added a few of my own provisions including a couple quarters, extra band-aids and some bobby pins.

These are definitely worth it and they make great gifts! Be safe, be stylish and be prepared!

Stay Warm, Stay FANCY


January Fancy Box





Fingerless Gloves by Echo Design
Echo Design began in 1923 with scarves and has evolved to encompass handbags, gloves, and beach ware among other products! I highly recommend a stroll onto their site to look at their fashionable goodies (check out the cute Moroccan bead work swim suite cover up pants). They also have some great men’s items!

I’ll be honest, I have never purchased (nor worn) digitless gloves because in the winter where I live, I want everything covered…twice. So these were something that I would not normally buy for myself but I can tell you that I am loving them! They are wonderful to layer under my sweater sleeves and to put on under my regular mittens. So not only am I finding them more practical than I would have thought, they are pretty as well. The ones I received are the SparkleFingerless Gloves in Classic Camel. Classic indeed!

Baglight by Lexon Design
This is Genius. It's made of a silicon rubber material with an LED light at the end that you press to turn on and off. At the other end of the baglight, is a ring that has two magnets that snap together. It’s a very sturdy hold which surprises me because the magnets are so little. Lexon baglight is an amazing way to see what the heck is inside of your purse (pictured below in my Louis Vuitton Noe), tote, or duffle bag! I looked at the other items on their website and all of their designs are sharp looking and practical. Now the tricky part is that I don't think you can order from their website and there aren't any prices next to the items. Bummer! But I did find the light it on ebags.com.



Morning Mug by The Cottage Industry
The Cottage industry is a design company that aims to bring a little something special into everyday items. TheMorning Mug does just that! It's an adorable way to start your day as it transitions from a sleepy face to a cheery face, hopefully perking you up at the same time!





Kusmi Tea Paris
I am an avid tea fan! I LOVE tea and I’ll jump at the chance to try a new kind. Kusmi Tea Paris has a long standing history and a long list of beautiful teas and products! This box of Sweet Love tea is a black tea full of sweet spices that is reminiscent of chai. The flavor is deep, the aroma is relaxing and it can be made hot or iced. I had my first cup and I immediately went on their website to see what else they had to offer. There are so many amazingly delicious sounding blends of tea bags and loose leaf tea! I want to try them all! Which led me to their gift sets and assortment boxes. This will definitely go on my gift giving list for the other tea lovers I know. Not does Kusmi offer exquisite tea, their tea accessories are “trĂ©s chic” as well! I'm pretty sure I've put everything on my wishlist. I’m definitely going to purchase an assortment set to find some other favorites!
