Happy Feet

Your handbag weighs enough to give you back pain, but you can never find what you need. You dig desperately for a tampon or hair rubberband, only to come up with a forgotten to-do list ruined by an exploded pen.

Enter Solettos, the high heel crisis solver created by local achy-footed fashionistas. The emergency kit contains a pair of back-up comfy flats, plus a shoe bag for the heels you ambitiously thought you could rock all night. The sole survivors are available at chic retailers or, for real disaster situations, in vending machines at clubs and airports. They’re teeny enough to roll up and fit inside your going-out bag, making a potential walk of shame the next morning far less shameful.

Throw a toothbrush and a pair of panties in that clutch and call it what it is: an overnight bag.

Available at The Gypsy Couture, a refurbished 1942 Westwood Coronado trailer that has been transformed into a modern-day boutique on wheels.
