Below an excerpt from a WWD.com article on the release of Nicky Hilton's upcoming book.
I love Nicky's style and can't wait to read it.
I pre-ordered the Kindle edition (author's actually make more money) of Nicky Hilton's upcoming book; 365 Style.
(Source WWD.com ) Nicky Hilton, who has her first book out later this year with Harlequin, said that it will be one filled with style tips.
“It has all sorts of weird tips, tricks and stories, and weird packing things I do,” she said. “Like when I’m packing for a trip I pack everything in a clear plastic bag and need to see them. With a big tote, I don’t like when it loses its shape and gets crunchy so I fill it with tights, T-shirts and socks. It’s serious business.”

Nicky's correct; it is serious business, keeping your bags from losing their shape; especially when you're not using them. Fortunately there's a better alternative to stuffing bags with tights, tees, and socks.
Patent Pending, Save Our Shape aka SOS preservers are inflatable purse stuffing pillows; that are easy and versatile. Because they're inflatable they give you the flexibility and control, not found in other pocketbook pillows.
(inflate a little or a lot, mix and match, use vertical or horizontal. Inflation you can control!)
Other brands of purse stuffer insert pillows don't give, so they can be hard to to fit. Their stuffing can absorb and hold smells. Some require tossing in a dryer every month, AND replacing them every year.
That's not only a chore; it's also a huge waste time and money.
I also use clear zip close bags when I pack. I packed two tee shirts inside each bag, so my son just has to pull out whichever one he wants to wear. He has a tee for the day,and a change for the night. The others stay folded, making it easier to stay organized; not having to rummage through a backpack of jumbled clothes.
Boxers, socks, and toiletries are also packed separately.
Using clear zip lock bags, also makes everything easier to pack back up; should a Security or Customs check require a look inside your luggage.
Save Our Shape ™ preservers are also great for travel, and can keep your bags from being crushed inside your luggage. I've even used them as a pillow, on a flight to cushion my had against the window.
