Editor's Note
I’m a bridesmaid in two back-to-back weddings this month, so I need to make sure I am well stocked for every type of panic-inducing emergency. Here’s what I’m packing in my day-of bag:
These must-have blister Band-Aids for those first and last on the dance floor.
Reusable boob tape and double-sided fashion tape, because most formal dresses are not bra-friendly.
Pepcid — your entire table will thank you later.
A stain-remover pen for when someone spills their drink during cocktail hour.

The Daily Steal
40% off at Gap’s Friends & Family sale
Ali here, Senior Commerce Director. I spent way too many years ignoring the color chocolate brown, and honestly, I feel regret about that. It’s a color that instantly upgrades an item, thanks to its rich hue and neutral-backed ability to pair with just about anything. So I’m using Gap’s 40% off Friends & Family sale to bolster my wardrobe with the it-color of the season.
