Bombay is in a fashion frenzy at this minute! It’s only one day down and our phones have died, makeup has smudged and we’ve lost at least 2 kgs with all the running around. Yes there are food stalls and plug points at places to charge your phone (if you really hunt) but somehow, no one has the time and everyone is fluttering between catching the shows and covering the backstage beauty to interviewing designers and spotting celebrities. It’s only one day down, and everyone is exhausted – bloggers and editors, we mean you! So what if I told you, everything you need to survive the manic week came in one neatly packaged tote? Curious? Let me explain. At MissMalini, we know exactly how exhausting it is to cover fashion week and there are a certain number of things that could make it easy, if only they were all in one place. Which is why we curated the ultimate, limited edition Fashion Week Survival Kit which consists of ALL your essentials. Of course, Manish Malhotra unveiled it’s contents!

Here’s what the totes from India Circus look like:

And here’s an assortment of things you’ll find inside it:

1. Something you can put your notes in

PropShop24 hooked us up with some amazeballs diaries. With some cool as covers and pages with neat sections for everything to be jotted down, this is an organiser’s dream! Of course there are pens too!

2. Battery fuel

A dead battery can be the worst kind of buzzkill. So Saavn provided battery packs so your phones are always charged and you have some good music to keep up the good mood!

3. Blinged out buttons

Who wants plain old shirt buttons when they can be jazzed up with some Bhane button covers, amirite? They even sent across broaches to instantly glam up any outfit

4. Baubles for when you need to up the game

INOX jewelry sent across some super cool earrings to instantly embellish your look. Tuck your hair behind your ears to keep these babies in the limelight, or simply put them on your shirt if you don’t have two ear piercings!

5. Dapper in just a clip

An easy way to make your look street-style bait is to simply clip on a bowtie. I mean for the men, of course! Monsieur M put in some funky printed ones for the experimental and simple ones for the more classic lot.

Sweat patches are a complete no-no! Which is why, Axe for men and Dove for women are deodorant must-haves in your kit.
